About the placeholder generator

Two things every mockup needs before the real content arrives. The text generator produces classic lorem ipsum in whatever quantity you specify, so you can fill a layout and see how it breathes at realistic length. The image generator draws a labelled placeholder at your exact dimensions directly on a canvas and downloads as a PNG, which means no dependency on a third-party placeholder service that might be slow, rate-limited or offline when you need it.

How to use the placeholder generator

  1. For text, choose paragraphs, sentences or words and set the amount you need.
  2. Click Generate and copy the result into your mockup.
  3. For images, set the width, height, background color and label.
  4. Download the generated placeholder image as a PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Why use lorem ipsum instead of real words?
Because readable copy pulls attention to the writing rather than the layout. Latin-like nonsense keeps reviewers focused on spacing, hierarchy and rhythm. The counter-argument is real: placeholder text hides content problems, so switch to real copy before final sign-off.
Do the placeholder images need an internet connection?
No. Images are drawn on a canvas element in your browser and downloaded directly, so unlike services such as placehold.co there is no external request and no dependency on someone else uptime.
Can I generate images at any size?
Yes, any width and height you enter. Very large dimensions, above roughly 8000 pixels on a side, may hit browser canvas limits on some devices.
