What is a placeholder image?

A placeholder image is a temporary graphic used during design and development to represent where a real image will eventually go. It typically shows the dimensions or a label.

Can I use custom text on the placeholder?

Yes. By default the image shows its dimensions (e.g. '800 x 400'), but you can enter any custom text such as 'Hero Image' or 'Product Photo'.

What file format is the output?

The placeholder image is generated as a PNG file, which is widely supported and suitable for both web and print use.
