Your rating for Image Placeholder Generator

Every mockup, wireframe, and test dataset needs placeholder images — solid rectangles with size dimensions in the middle. Third-party services like via.placeholder.com work but leave you dependent on their uptime. This tool generates placeholders locally: pick a size, background, text, and text color; download PNG or JPG. Great for storybook mocks, layout testing, and any workflow where you need dummy images at specific sizes.

Solid, gradient, or noise

Three backgrounds: Solid (any hex color), Gradient (two colors + angle), Noise (random dithering for a stock-photo-like feel without a stock photo). All three include size dimensions overlaid by default.

Text overlay

The default overlay is the image dimensions (1200 × 630). Override with any text — 'PRODUCT IMAGE', 'LOGO GOES HERE', or a custom message. Font size auto-scales to fit; toggle bold/italic; pick color.

Batch generation for a mockup

Building a mock e-commerce grid? Set a size and click Generate N variations to get N placeholders with slightly different colors and dimensions, ready to drop into a design tool. Great for demo data.

Tool FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Image Placeholder Generator.

Why not just use via.placeholder.com?+

Speed (no HTTP round-trip), privacy (nothing about your mockup leaves your machine), and reliability (no dependency on a third-party service). If you need a static placeholder in a Storybook or Figma file, this tool ships it once.

Can I generate SVG placeholders?+

Yes — toggle SVG output for infinitely scalable placeholders. Great when the placeholder needs to display at multiple sizes without pixelation.

Can I use the placeholder in production?+

Sure — nothing distinguishes a placeholder PNG from any other PNG. But most sites want real content, not dimension-labeled rectangles.
