Image Placeholder Generator
Generate custom SVG placeholder graphics and inline image data with adjustable dimensions, label text, and color schemes.
Run tool
This online placeholder image generator creates custom SVG placeholder graphics and inline SVG image data for web mockups, wireframes, and design prototypes. You can specify exact dimensions for width and height between 1 and 2000 pixels. When you leave the text field empty, the tool automatically inserts a dimension label showing the calculated width and height separated by a multiplication symbol. Entering custom text overrides the default dimension label, and any special characters are safely escaped for markup compatibility. You can also customize the background color and text color using standard color codes to match your project color scheme or layout wireframe. Default settings produce a 400 by 300 pixel image with a neutral gray background (#cccccc) and dark gray text (#333333). The generated SVG markup and inline image data are ready to copy directly into your HTML documents, templates, or stylesheets during front-end development.
Instructions
- Enter the desired width and height in pixels within the supported range of 1 to 2000.
- Type custom label text in the text field, or leave it blank to display the image dimensions automatically.
- Specify the background color and text color using hex codes or standard color names.
- Click the generate button to produce the vector placeholder graphic and inline image data.
- Copy the generated SVG markup or inline image data snippet to embed in your template or mockup.
Examples
- Generate a standard card placeholder by setting width to 600, height to 400, background color to #e2e8f0, and text color to #475569 while leaving the text field blank to show '600 × 400'.
- Create a branded banner placeholder by entering width 1200, height 630, custom text 'Hero Banner Mockup', background color #1e293b, and text color #f8fafc.
FAQ
What happens if I leave the text field empty?
When no custom text is provided, the tool automatically generates a label displaying the effective width and height separated by a multiplication symbol, such as '400 × 300'.
What are the minimum and maximum dimensions allowed?
Both width and height are clamped to a minimum value of 1 pixel and a maximum value of 2000 pixels. Values outside this range are adjusted automatically to the boundary limits.
How does the tool handle special characters in the label text?
All characters entered into the text field are HTML-escaped before being embedded into the SVG code and alternative text attributes, preventing markup parsing issues.
What format is the generated inline image data?
The tool constructs an inline SVG image data string that you can paste directly into HTML image source attributes or CSS background properties.
