Placeholder Image Generator
Generate a custom-sized SVG placeholder image with optional text and colors, no external service. Free to use, no signup required for occasional use.
Generated as a pure SVG data URL — no external placeholder service is used.
What is the Placeholder Image Generator?
The Placeholder Image Generator creates simple placeholder images for mockups, wireframes, and layout testing — entirely as inline SVG, with no dependency on an external placeholder image service that could go down or rate-limit requests. You set the exact width and height, pick a background and text color, and optionally add custom label text; by default it shows the image dimensions. The result is available both as a downloadable SVG file and as ready-to-paste HTML embed code using a self-contained data URL.
How to use it
Enter your desired width and height, choose a background color and text color, and optionally type custom label text (the dimensions are shown by default if left blank). The preview updates live. Click 'Download SVG' to save the file, or copy the embed code to paste an <img> tag with the placeholder baked in as a data URL directly into your HTML.
Frequently asked questions
Does this rely on an external placeholder service?
No, the image is generated as a self-contained SVG data URL entirely in your browser — there's no external request or dependency.
Can I use this in production code?
It's intended for mockups and layout testing; for production assets you'd typically replace it with real images.
What file format is the download?
The download is an SVG file, which scales cleanly to any size without quality loss.
