Frequently Asked Questions
What formats are the placeholder images generated in?
The tool generates images in PNG format by default, which provides good quality and broad compatibility. The images are generated in your browser and can be downloaded directly.
Can I customize the text shown on the placeholder?
Yes. By default, the dimensions (e.g., "800x600") are displayed on the image. You can replace this with any custom text, such as "Hero Image" or "Product Photo", to make your mockups more descriptive.
Is there a maximum image size?
The tool can generate images up to several thousand pixels in each dimension. Very large images may be slow to generate depending on your browser and device capabilities.
