FauxImage — Placeholder Image Generator

Generate placeholder images with custom dimensions, colours, and labels — download as PNG, JPG, or GIF for mockups and wireframes.

What are placeholder images?

Placeholder images are simple coloured rectangles used in wireframes and prototypes before real images are available. They show the intended dimensions and position of images in a design.

How to use

  1. Enter the dimensions (e.g. 600x400).
  2. Optionally set background colour, text colour, and label text.
  3. Choose PNG, JPG, or GIF format.
  4. Copy the data URL or right-click the preview to save.

Image generation happens in your browser — nothing is sent to any server.
