Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dummy image?
When you are designing a new site, often your text is ready before your images. With dummy images, you can place your content on a web page and use dummy images as placeholders until the actual images are available. That way, you don’t have to stop the design process. You can get dummy images in just about any size you need.Is the dummy image generator free to use?
Yes it is. You can create and download as many dummy images as you need. These images are made to increase the realism of your design, but make sure to swap them in for real images before you go live!Will image placeholders slow down the loading speed of my website?
These images will replicate what you will have on your site when it goes live, so it’s a good way to test if they do reduce the loading speed of your web page. If you find that the site is loading slower than it should, you can always use our PNG and JPEG compression tool to compress the images.Can I select a specific image using the stock image generator?
You cannot select a specific image but you can choose an image type. For example if you wanted an image of a cat, then the stock image generator will select ONE picture of a cat for you. You will not be able to choose from a library of cat images.Where do you take your stock images from?
The images are taken from Unsplash and are free to use and are free download and use. There is no limit to the number of dummy stock images that you can download using our tool. Please note that Unsplash photos cannot be sold without significant modification.So happy you liked it!
