How to generate a placeholder image

  1. Set the width and height.
  2. Choose background and text colors.
  3. Optionally add a custom label.
  4. Download the PNG.

How this works

Your browser draws the placeholder directly on a canvas at the exact dimensions you choose — no file is uploaded, and no server-side image generation is involved.

Common use cases

  • Generate a stub image for a website wireframe or mockup
  • Create a custom-size placeholder for a README or prototype
  • Quickly get a dummy image of an exact pixel size for testing
