What is placeholder image?
Placeholder photos are used by designers or developers to visualize a design or layout before the final image is replaced.
A placeholder image is essentially a substitute image used in website or application design while the actual images are being created or are not yet available. They serve a few key purposes:
-
Layout and Design:
Placeholder photos help visualize the final layout of your future website or app, ensuring that image spaces are properly allocated. This allows designers and developers to test how the design will look with images of different sizes and aspect ratios.
-
Performance:
Using lightweight placeholder images can improve page loading speed, especially during development when high-resolution images might slow things down.
-
Content Planning:
They help to indicate where images will be placed, making it easier to plan the content and flow of the page.
-
Testing Responsiveness:
With the increasing importance of responsive design, designers need to ensure that images look good on all devices. Placeholder images allow them to test how images will resize and adapt to different screen sizes.
Make the UI stand out until the real image comes along.
