Frequently asked questions

What is a placeholder image for?

To reserve the space of a not-yet-available visual in a mockup, prototype or template. It avoids “broken” layouts and clearly shows the expected size of the final image.

Does the text show the dimensions?

By default, yes: if you leave the text field empty, the image automatically shows “width × height” (for example 600 × 400). You can also enter your own text, like a section name.

Can I generate large images?

Yes, up to 4000 × 4000 pixels. The font adapts automatically to the smaller dimension to stay legible, whether it is a square thumbnail or a wide banner.

Is the data sent online?

No. The image is drawn on a canvas in your browser and downloaded locally. No network request, so it works offline and with no data leak.
