Why Use a Placeholder Image Generator?

When building websites or designing UI mockups, you often need image assets before the final photos or graphics are ready. Using a placeholder image generator allows you to reserve exact spatial dimensions in your layout, preventing content shifts when real images are added. Custom dummy images help maintain visual hierarchy and flow during the prototyping phase, ensuring your designs remain structurally sound without needing final assets.

How to Create Custom Placeholder Images

Generating dummy images for your mockups takes seconds:

Set Dimensions: Enter the exact width and height in pixels required by your layout.
Choose Colors: Pick background and text colors that match your wireframe style.
Add Text: Optionally add custom text (like "Hero Section" or "User Avatar") or leave it blank to default to the image dimensions.
Download: Click generate, then download the PNG directly to use in Figma, Sketch, or HTML.
