Can I customize the label text?

Yes, enter custom text or leave it blank to show the dimensions automatically.

What patterns are supported?

Solid color and checkerboard patterns are both available.

Can I copy an HTML snippet for the placeholder?

Yes, an img tag snippet with the chosen dimensions is provided.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.
