When you’re building website templates, user interfaces or initial application prototypes there is often the need for placeholder images or dummy images. Rather than wasting time and effort finding and cropping custom images you can simply use a free image placeholder service that will automatically create an image for you with your specified dimensions. Here are some of the best free image placeholder services on offer.

placehold.it

A clean, simple and polished image placeholder service. If you’re looking for a minimalistic approach then this is the way to go as it uses simple grey boxes in place of images e.g.

1 <img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" />

This service provides actual images that have been categorized for you so that you can display placeholder images that match the theme of your website e.g.

1 <img src="http://lorempixel.com/400/200/sports/"  />

flickholdr

This is quite a clever image placeholder service as it sources images from flickr based on tags. This makes it a great option for pulling in images that are related to your site e.g.

1 <img src="http://flickholdr.com/200/300/sea,sun"  />

This one is very customizable as you can change the colour, add text and even change the image file format. It doesnt look the best but it has great functionality e.g.

1 <img src="http://dummyimage.com/600x400/000/fff"  />
