What Lorem Pixel Generator does

The Placeholder Image Generator creates placeholder images at any size up to 4000 by 4000 pixels, with your choice of background color, text color and label. Download them as PNG or SVG, copy a data URI, or get ready-made URLs for the placehold.co and Lorem Picsum services.

How to use Lorem Pixel Generator

  1. Enter a width and height, or click a common size
  2. Pick the background and text colors and an optional label
  3. Preview the image
  4. Download the PNG or SVG, or copy a data URI or hosted URL

Who should use it

Made for developers. Typical uses:

  • Filling image slots in a website wireframe before final photography is available
  • Testing a responsive layout's image grid with correctly-sized placeholder graphics
  • Mocking up an app screen design that needs placeholder avatar or banner images

Limitations and accuracy

The hosted URLs point to separate free services (placehold.co and Lorem Picsum) that can change or go offline; for production pages use your own images.

Accuracy: Output is tested against known inputs. For production code, review the result and run your own tests.

Frequently asked questions

Are the images generated in my browser?
Yes. PNG, SVG and data URI images are created locally. Only the optional hosted URLs depend on outside services.
What is the maximum size?
4000 by 4000 pixels.
Can I use them on a live site?
They are meant for mockups and prototypes. Replace them with real images before launch.
