Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set custom dimensions for each placeholder?
Yes — enter any width and height in pixels to generate a placeholder at that exact size. Common presets for thumbnails, hero images, and avatars are also available as quick shortcuts.
Can I add text to the placeholder image?
Yes — by default the image dimensions are printed as the text label. You can override this with any custom text, such as 'Product Image', 'Hero Banner', or 'Coming Soon'.
What formats can I download the placeholder in?
Generated placeholders can be downloaded as PNG or used as a URL-based image source (useful for embedding in HTML without downloading the file first).
