Questions and answers

What is Placeholder Image Generator?
A placeholder image is a stand-in with the right dimensions, used in mockups and layouts until the real image exists. This generator draws one in your browser with your width, height, background and text colors, label and font size, then downloads a PNG or copies a data URL or img tag.
Can I use the generated images in commercial projects?
Yes. The placeholder images are generated locally in your browser with no licensing restrictions. You can use them freely in any project — commercial or personal — for mockups, prototypes, or development placeholders.
