Image Placeholders
Overview
A placeholder in web design is a space that is intentionally left blank to provide a visual cue to the user that additional content will be placed there. Image placeholders are used to reserve space for images that have not been loaded yet or to provide a representation of a missing image that is still being developed or acquired.
Application
These example image placeholder services are free to use and do not require an account to generate an image placeholder. The basic application is to use the provided URL services to generate a random image placeholder based upon desired dimensions in pixels (width/height).
