Tool 1

Placeholder image

Pick a size and colors and you get a real placeholder image (powered by the free placehold.co service). Copy the URL or the ready-made <img> tag.

Tool 2

Placeholder video block

A clean, responsive video placeholder you can drop in while you wait for the real footage. It keeps a fixed aspect ratio and shows a play button. Swap in a real <video> or YouTube embed later — see Video & Multimedia.

Need real sample clips? Free stock video sites like Pexels, Coverr, and Pixabay offer downloadable .mp4s you can host yourself — search "free stock video" and download one, then use the <video> tag.
Tool 3

Lorem ipsum generator

Fill your layout with classic "lorem ipsum" dummy text so you can focus on the design before the real copy is written. Choose how much, then generate and copy.
