Generate placeholder images

Open in workspace

Placeholder Image: Generate placeholder images. A free, browser-based tool from DevToolbox that runs entirely on your own device: no upload, no account, no tracking.

About the Placeholder Image

Free online placeholder image generator. Create custom placeholder images with configurable size, colors, text, and format. Download as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or WebP. It is one of the svg & image tools on DevToolbox, and like all of them it runs entirely in your browser.

Images are read into a canvas or parsed as markup entirely inside the page. The file is never uploaded; the browser opens it from disk, the tool works on it in memory, and the result is handed straight back to you.

How to use it

  1. Drop in or paste your file or markup.
  2. The browser reads it locally. It is never uploaded.

  4. Download or copy the result.

Questions

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool is JavaScript that runs in the tab you already have open, and DevToolbox has no backend to send anything to. You can open the network tab and watch: after the page and its script load, nothing is sent while you work.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, yes. The tool needs no network access to do its job, so it keeps working if your connection drops. Reloading the page does need the network unless your browser has it cached.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is free and there is no account, no sign-in and no usage limit. There is nothing to register because there is no server keeping track of anything.

The Placeholder Image sits in SVG & Image, one of the 90 tools on DevToolbox.
