Frequently Asked Questions

What is a placeholder image?

A placeholder image is a temporary image used to fill layout spaces during web design and development. It shows the exact dimensions and position an image will occupy in the final design.

When should I use placeholders?

Use placeholders during website prototyping, wireframing, and development before real content is ready. They help visualize layouts, test responsive designs, and communicate dimensions to content teams.

Can I set custom colors?

Yes. This tool lets you choose any background color and text color using color pickers, or enter hex values directly. The text overlaid on the image can display custom labels like dimensions or content type.
