Frequently asked questions

How do I create a placeholder?
Enter the dimensions, optionally add text and colors, then copy or download the generated SVG.
Can I use the generated placeholder in production?
Yes. The generated SVG is lightweight and can be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or image components.
Does this tool upload my content?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your placeholder settings stay on your device.
Why isn't my placeholder updating?
Check that width, height, font size, and colors are valid. The tool keeps the last valid SVG until the new settings pass validation.
How do I add rounded corners or custom text?
Use the corner radius field for rounded rectangles and the text field to add a label such as a banner name or aspect ratio.
