About
When you are building a website, designing a layout, or prototyping an app, you often need placeholder images before the real content is ready. This tool creates placeholder GIFs at whatever dimensions you need, optionally with the size label printed on them. They are perfect for mockups, wireframes, or any situation where you need a stand-in animated image.
Features
Any size you need — just type in the width and height
Optional dimension label printed on the GIF so you always know what size it represents
Animated or static — add frames if you need to test how your layout handles GIF animations
Generated instantly in your browser, ready to use in seconds
Guide
Enter the dimensions you need for the placeholder
Optionally choose a background color and whether to display the size label

Download the placeholder GIF and drop it into your project
Pro Tips

Generate animated placeholders if you want to test that your lazy-loading or auto-play logic works correctly
