About the Placeholder Image Generator
This placeholder image generator creates sample images for mockups, wireframes, prototypes, and layout testing. Set the width and height, pick background and text colors, choose an optional label, then download the result as a PNG or SVG. Everything is rendered locally in your browser using the Canvas API.

Frequently asked questions
What's the maximum size? Up to 2000×2000 pixels via the sliders. The PNG download is generated from a Canvas at the exact pixel dimensions you choose.
What's the difference between PNG and SVG? PNG is a raster image — best for photos and screenshots. SVG is vector — it scales without quality loss and is ideal for high-DPI mockups.
Is the text always centered? Yes. The overlay text is centered both horizontally and vertically, with the dimensions shown if the text field is empty.
