FAQ

What is this?

This is a simple tool for generating dummy/filler images on the fly at whatever size you want.

How do I use it?

Simply add the width, an 'x', and the height (example) of the image you want and my script will spit out a gray box to the size you want with the image dimensions in black Arial text centered in the middle of the box.

Can I use a dummy image url as an image source?

Yup, that was what it was designed for. Try this: <img src="http://dummyimage.com/325x123" alt="A Dummy Image">

How many images can I generate?

As many as you want until my server collapses. If you would like to run this script on your own server, here are the files and instructions for doing so.
