Frequently Asked Questions
What is a placeholder image?
A placeholder image is a temporary image used during design and development to represent where a real image will go. It typically shows dimensions or custom text on a colored background.
What sizes can I create?
You can create images from 1x1 up to 4096x4096 pixels. We also provide presets for common sizes like HD (1920x1080), OG images (1200x630), Instagram (1080x1080), Twitter (1600x900), and more.
What formats are supported?
You can download placeholder images in PNG, JPEG, or WebP format. PNG is best for sharp text, JPEG for smaller file sizes, and WebP for modern web optimization.
Can I add custom text?
Yes! You can enter any custom text to display on the image. If you leave the text field empty, it will automatically show the image dimensions (e.g., 800x600).
Is this tool free?
Yes, this tool is completely free. All image generation happens in your browser - no server processing, no uploads, no limits.
How does auto font size work?
When auto font size is enabled, the text size is automatically calculated based on the image dimensions to ensure optimal readability. You can also set a custom font size between 12px and 200px.
