Dummy images for wireframes

When building a layout or mocking up a web design, final graphics are rarely ready on day one. Placeholder images serve as temporary blocks that hold the correct space in your HTML. Use this generator to quickly create dummy graphics perfectly sized for your layout without opening a heavy image editor.

Dimensions and colors

Set the exact width and height in pixels to match your CSS containers. Adjust the background and text colors to fit the contrast or theme of your wireframe. A neutral gray is standard, but color-coding placeholders can help differentiate components like avatars, hero banners, and product thumbnails.

Custom text labels

By default, the canvas displays the width and height of the image (for example, 800 × 600). You can override this by providing custom text to label the component (such as Primary CTA). The tool scales the text automatically to ensure it remains visible within the boundaries of the canvas.

Canvas rendering

The tool renders the placeholder using an HTML5 Canvas completely offline. Once you dial in the dimensions and colors, click the download button to save the result as a PNG file, ready to drop into your code or design software.
