Generate placeholder images with custom dimensions

Reviewed: AnyCalc Editorial|2026-07-19|Editorial policy|About

What this calculator does

Dummy image generator creates placeholder images of any dimension with customizable background color, text, and format. During front-end development, designers and developers need placeholder images to build layouts before final assets are ready. This tool generates images on demand by specifying width, height, background color, text color, label text, and output format (PNG, JPEG, SVG, or WebP). Unlike external placeholder services, this runs entirely in your browser for instant results without network dependencies. Use it for wireframing, prototyping responsive image grids, testing lazy loading implementations, and populating mock data in development environments.

Dummy Image Generator FAQ

What image formats can I generate for placeholders?▾
This tool generates PNG images. Download the placeholder as a PNG file, which works well for sharp text on solid backgrounds.
Can I customize the text displayed on the placeholder image?▾
Yes. By default the image dimensions are shown as text (e.g., "800x600"). You can replace this with any custom label such as "Hero Banner", "Product Photo", or "Avatar" to make your wireframes more descriptive.
Why use a local placeholder generator instead of an online service?▾
A local tool works offline, loads instantly, does not add external dependencies to your project, and avoids potential downtime or rate limiting from third-party placeholder services. It also avoids sending requests to external servers during development.
