How to use it

  1. Set size, colours and optional text.
  2. Download PNG or SVG, or copy an SVG data URL to use directly in HTML.
💡 Pro tip: Label placeholders with their size (like 1200×630) so the team knows what final image to prepare.

💻 Open source: this tool is free and open source (MIT License). View the code on GitHub, download it and run it offline.

The bigger picture: Image & Media

Images and video drive social media and websites, but every platform wants a different size and format. In-browser tools resize, convert and polish media without uploading private photos.

What's changing: Modern formats like WebP and AVIF are replacing heavy JPGs on the web, making pages faster, especially on mobile.

Frequently asked questions

Why SVG?

SVG placeholders are tiny and stay sharp at any size.
