What file format is downloaded?

The placeholder is downloaded as a PNG file. PNG supports transparency and is lossless, making it ideal for placeholder use.

Is there a size limit?

The tool uses your browser's HTML Canvas, so very large images (above 4096×4096 px) may be limited by your device's GPU memory. For most use cases, any common dimension works fine.

Can I change the label text?

Yes. By default the label shows the width × height (e.g. "800×600"). You can type any custom text — leave it blank to remove the label entirely.

Is the image generated on my device or a server?

Entirely on your device using the HTML5 Canvas API. No image data is ever uploaded or sent to any server.

Can I generate multiple sizes quickly?

Yes. Just change the width and height fields — the preview refreshes instantly. Click "Download PNG" for each size you need.
