How to Use Placeholder Image Generator
- Set dimensions â type a width and height in pixels (32â4000). The preview updates instantly.
- Pick colors â choose a background color and a text color with the color pickers.
- Edit the label â the default text reads
{width}Ã{height}; the tokens are swapped for the real numbers. Type anything you like, or clear it for a blank block. - Choose a format â SVG for crisp vector output, PNG for transparency-ready raster, JPG for the smallest photo-style file.
- Download the generated placeholder.
SVG vs. PNG vs. JPG for placeholders
Use SVG when the placeholder will sit in HTML or documentation â it stays sharp at any size and the file is tiny. Use PNG when you need a real raster bitmap (for example to drop into a design tool that does not accept SVG). Use JPG only when file size matters more than crisp edges; it has no transparency and adds slight compression artifacts, so it is rarely the best choice for flat-color placeholders.
