Free placeholder image generator. Create a custom SVG placeholder with any size, color, and label for mockups and layouts.
Frequently asked questions
Why use an SVG placeholder instead of a JPEG or PNG?
SVG is a text-based vector format, so a placeholder generated as SVG stays perfectly sharp at any size — unlike a bitmap image, which gets blurry when scaled up — and the file itself is typically a few hundred bytes rather than the kilobytes a bitmap of the same dimensions would need.
Can I use this for a real website, not just a mockup?
It's meant for design and development placeholders — filling a layout before real images are ready — rather than production content. For a real site, you'd normally replace it with actual photography or graphics before launch.
Does the generated image work as an <img> src?
Yes — it downloads as a standalone .svg file, which any browser or image tag can display directly like any other image format.
