Image placeholder service
Image Generator
How does it work?
Enter your desired image dimensions after our URL and you'll get a placeholder image.

You can specify the images background colour, text colour, text and font size.

What settings can I override via query strings?
In short all of them! Sometimes it's easier to specify what you need rather than remember the structure of the rewrite URL.
Image Size (width x height): size=400x200
Text Colour: text-colour=cbcbcb
Customised text: text=Hello world
Font Size (pixels): font-size=28
Colour short codes
Colours are padded out to 6 characters using the last character:
C > CCCCCC
F > FFFFFF
0 > 000000
FF10 > FF1000
Things to note:
- The image width and height must be 1px - 30000px
- The text color is optional and defaults to gray (#cbcbcb)
- The background color is optional and defaults to dark gray (#959595)
- The text is optional the image dimensions is used by default
- The website URL serving the image is tracked. Not for evil, just so I can see if dummyimage is being used!
