Frequently Asked Questions

What is a placeholder image?
A placeholder image is a temporary image used to reserve layout space while a design, prototype, or page is still being built.
Can I generate HTML and Markdown snippets?
Yes. The tool creates an image URL, HTML img tag, Markdown image syntax, and CSS background-image snippet.
Should I use placeholder images on a live website?
Usually no. Placeholder images are best for drafts and prototypes. Live pages should use real, relevant, optimized images.
Why does the preview use an external URL?
The generated placeholder uses placehold.co so you can copy a usable URL immediately. The rest of the tool still runs in your browser.
