Welcome to hold.im

Just place the dimensions of the image you require after our url
e.g. if you want an image 300 pixels wide by 200 pixels high, type :

http://hold.im/300x200

Or how about an image 150px wide by 275px high, just use the following :

http://hold.im/150x275

If you want to change the background colour to red, append the url with the hexidecimal equivalent (FF0000 or F00) :

http://hold.im/300x200/F00

If you want to change the foreground colour, add the relevant hexidecimal equivalent, e.g. blue is 0000FF or 00F, orange is FF9900 or F90, so for an image with a blue background and orange text, the resulting link is :

http://hold.im/300x200/00F/F90

The default format for an image placeholder is gif, but should you want to save as a jpeg, then append the url with jpg :

http://hold.im/300x200/jpg

hold.im can also generate png image placeholders by appending the url with png, please note, by using png, you can also use the image placeholder opacity feature :

http://hold.im/300x200/png

If you would like a different font to appear, we have a few fonts to choose from, all you need to do is to append the url with one of the font names below. Click on a name below to preview how it looks :

adventpro , aller , angelina , avantgarde , ballpark , benguiat , bordeaux , champagne , calluna , captureit , chunkfive , clearlygothic , comfortaa , cpmono , daniel , desyrel , district , existence , gooddog , jamesfajardo , journal , kabel , klavika , lucida , miso , molot , rabiohead , ronnia , sansation , sketchetik , st-marie , titillium , ubuntu , uglyqua , vegur

Please select a font above

For custom text, just place a @ before your text :

http://hold.im/400x100/@No Image

another example:

http://hold.im/400x100/@Image Placeholder

If you wish to remove most of the side padding,
just append the url with nopad

http://hold.im/300x100/nopad/@No Pad

To be able to use opacity, you must ensure the format is set to png, then append the url with the letter t followed by a number 0 to 100

For an image with a blue background and 70% opacity try :

http://hold.im/300x200/00F/png/t70

For an image with a red background at 30% opacity :

http://hold.im/300x200/F00/png/t30

To create rounded corners for your image, append the word round followed by the radius in pixels:

For a png image with rounded corners of 10px :

http://hold.im/300x200/gif/r10

For a gif image with rounded corners of 50px :

http://hold.im/300x200/png/r50

For a jpeg, you must append the url with round followed by the radius, followed by a comma (,) followed by the colour to appear outside, so to make a jpeg with a radius of 30 and an orange colour outside of the rounded area, type :

http://hold.im/300x200/jpg/r30,f90

If you want a holding image with a border, then append the url with the word border followed by the border thickness in pixels then a comma followed by the border colour (in hexidecimal)

For a gif image with a 5px grey border:

http://hold.im/300x200/border5,777

Use it with the Rounded Corners to create a curved border :
