Create effective image placeholders for your designs and projects. Great for wireframes, mockups, and production apps.
Placeholdit is a simple and fast placeholder image generator for designers and developers. Just enter the desired image size (e.g., 400x400), and instantly get a placeholder image. You can customize background color, text color, and add custom text for more control.
This tool is perfect for wireframes, mockups, or testing layouts. No account or coding needed—just copy the image and use it anywhere. Placeholdit helps streamline your workflow with quick, customizable dummy images. Whether you’re building websites or apps, it’s the easiest way to create placeholder images tailored to your needs.
You can define the size of your placeholder image using two different URL patterns. This makes it flexible for different use cases:
400x400 → Explicitly sets width = 400px and height = 400px400 → Automatically assumes height = width (400x400)Both options work the same, and you can use whichever is easier for your workflow.
You can easily change the background and text color of your placeholder image by adjusting the URL — no coding required!
To change the background color of your placeholder image, just add the color name or hex code (without #) in the URL.
Note: Always write hex codes without the # symbol.
To change the text color, simply add it after the background color in the URL.
placeholdit.com/widthxheight/background/text color
Note: Use hex codes without # here as well.
You can show any text on your placeholder image by using the ?text= option in the URL.
Add your text like this:
Note: Use + instead of spaces (e.g. Hello+World)
You can use a different font style in your placeholder text.
Just add ?font= in the URL.
placeholdit.com/600x400?text=Hello+World&font=noto-serif
This will display “Hello World” in the Noto Serif font.
Note: Font names should be in lowercase and use hyphens (-) instead of spaces.
You can set the font size of your placeholder text using ?font_size= in the URL.
placeholdit.com/400?&font_size=50
This will show “Hello World” with a font size of 100px.
