Image Generator Documentation

The Image Generator provides an easy way to create placeholder images that can be tailored to your needs. Customize the size, background color, and optional text, and instantly generate a link or image preview to use in your projects.

Features

  • Custom Dimensions: Specify the width and height of the image in pixels.
  • Custom text: Add custom text to the image.
  • Background Color: Choose a background color using a HEX value (without #).
  • Dynamic URL: Generate a URL for your image that can be copied and used directly in your applications.
  • Image Preview: See how the image will look before using it.

How It Works

  1. Set Image Settings:
    • Enter the desired width and height in pixels.
    • Add custom text up to 50 characters.
    • Choose a background color by entering a HEX code (without # e.g., CCCCCC).
  2. Generate the Image:
    • Click the Generate Image button to create a placeholder image with the specified settings.
    • The tool will generate a preview and a dynamic URL.
  3. Copy the URL:
    • Use the Copy Link button to copy the image URL to your clipboard.
    • You can use this URL directly in your application or projects.

API Integration

The Image Generator also provides a dynamic API that allows you to fetch images programmatically. You can build a URL with the following parameters:

  • Width: Specify the width of the image (e.g., width=300).
  • Height: Specify the height of the image (e.g., height=150).
  • Text: Add custom text to the image (e.g., text=logo+placeholder).
  • Background Color: Define the background color using a HEX value (e.g., bgColor=CCCCCC).

Example API Endpoint:

https://placeholder.monster/get/image?width=300&height=150&text=logo+placeholder&bgColor=CCCCCC
