Why use a placeholder image?

Placeholder graphics let designers and developers block out a layout before real photos or assets are ready. This generator draws a flat-color rectangle with centered, auto-sized label text directly on a canvas element, matching the familiar look of hosted placeholder services without needing a network request.

Automatic dimension label

Leave the label field empty and the placeholder text automatically shows its own width and height, a common placeholder convention.

Any custom label

Type your own text instead, useful for labeling sections, states or component names in a wireframe.

Export options

Download a real PNG file, or copy a self-contained data URL and HTML snippet to embed directly in code without hosting an image file.

No server round trip

Because everything renders locally, there is no waiting on a remote placeholder service and no external image request in your project.
