How placeholders are made

Your settings are drawn onto an HTML canvas right in the browser: background fill, a subtle inner border and a centered label showing either your custom text or the dimensions. The preview is scaled to fit the page, but the download renders at the full resolution you asked for, up to 4000 pixels per side.

Where placeholders help

Use them while a design is still in wireframe: hero banners, card thumbnails, ad slots and gallery grids all look more real with sized, labeled boxes than with empty gray rectangles. Download once and reuse the file across mockups and prototypes.

Placeholder Generator FAQs

What sizes can I generate?
Any size from 1 to 4000 pixels per side. Type exact dimensions for ad slots or use presets like 800x600 for quick mockups.
PNG or JPG, which should I pick?
PNG for crisp text and flat colors, JPG for smaller files when the placeholder is photographic or just filling space in a prototype.
Can I use these images commercially?
Yes. Every placeholder is generated from your own settings in your browser, so there are no licenses, attributions or restrictions on the output.
Why does the preview look smaller than my size?
The preview is scaled down to fit the page for speed. The downloaded file is always rendered at the full width and height you entered.
Can I add my own logo to the placeholder?
Not in this tool; it draws flat colors and text only. For branded mockups, download the placeholder and composite your logo over it in any image editor.
