Placeholder Generator

Smooth initial rendering with LQIP/SVG placeholders and blurhash-like Data URIs.

Overview

Show low-quality blur previews (LQIP) or SVG abstractions during lazy loading to prevent layout shifts and improve UX.

How to use

  1. Drop the image to analyze.
  2. Adjust LQIP quality or SVG path count, colors, and blur strength.
  3. Paste the generated Data URI or SVG into your HTML/JS.

Use cases

  • Fill visual gaps during lazy load.
  • Improve perceived loading on article lists and card UIs.
  • Contribute to better LCP/INP metrics.

Tips & knowledge

  • Oversized LQIPs can backfire; aim for 1–few KB.
  • Don’t over-blur; keep the subject barely recognizable.
  • Combine with dominant colors for a natural background match.
