About

placeholders.dev generates custom placeholder images on the fly. All of these images are generated on Cloudflare's Edge at 200+ locations, ensuring the best possible performance for all of end-users. All images are cached for lengthy periods of time.

Placeholder images can be useful for prototyping application design, blog posts, themes and other templates before publishing to production.

Why Workers?

Cloudflare Workers lets us serve content to end-users all over the world at blistering fast speeds, which is a requirement for static assets such as images on the web. Being able to deploy code that runs so close to most of the population is an invaluable asset for web performance.
