Creating a quick placeholder image

The image below uses the code - <img src=”http://placehold.it/500×200″ />

Choosing an image format

The generated image is a gif by default, but you can change the filetype by adding .jpg or .png at the end of any option in the url

JPG - <img src=”http://www.placehold.it/500×200.jpg” alt=”" />

PNG - <img src=”http://www.placehold.it/500×200/000/fff.png” alt=”" />

Customizing the colours

You can also customize the colours by adding the hex values for the background/text colours after the dimensions i.e. <img src=”http://placehold.it/500×200/backgroundcolour/textcolour” />

For example, this image uses the code - <img src=”http://placehold.it/50×50/ff0000/fff” /> generate an image that’s 50px x 50px, has a background colour of #ff0000 and uses white (#fff) for the text.

Customizing the caption

Sick of the default caption displaying the dimensions? You can customize this by adding &text=Your+caption at the end of the url!  i.e. <img src=”http://placehold.it/500×200/&text=Your+caption” /> becomes:

Most symbols will work fine, just make sure you use + instead of spaces!
