Guide section

Simple dummy images from URLs

Generate predictable placeholder images by putting the dimensions in the URL. Use custom text to make the purpose clear in UI screenshots, design-system examples, and staging data.

Guide section

More contextual fallbacks

Modern apps need different placeholders for different surfaces. Product media, avatars, banners, loading states, and missing images each benefit from their own placeholder style and copy.

Guide section

Good for production edge cases

fallback.pics is positioned for interfaces where images may fail in production, not only for early mockups.

Replace generic dummy images with contextual fallback URLs from fallback.pics.
