  • Color Control — Specify background and foreground hex colors to match your project's brand or UI theme.
  • Dynamic Text — Add custom labels or descriptive text directly onto the generated image.
  • Format Selection — Choose between common web formats including PNG, JPG, JPEG, and GIF.
  • Aspect Ratios — Define specific ratios like 16:9 to test responsive containers.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Since this is a public service, enter 'PUBLIC' in the token field
  3. Start generating image URLs directly in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more searching for placeholder services or manually creating empty boxes in design tools. Your AI acts as a rapid UI prototyper.

Who is this for?

  • Web Developers — quickly fill layout gaps with correctly sized images during frontend development.
  • UI/UX Designers — generate specific placeholders for wireframes without leaving the workflow.
