In the course of designing a website, there is usually no image to be used at the beginning, and the layout is of primary importance. While this is usually the case, some placeholder images can help us preview and analyze the layout more efficiently.

In this article I have listed a few placeholder generators that will improve your development workflow and make you more efficient. I am sure that most of you will choose one or two of these to use in your own projects.


## 1. [FlickHoldr](https://flickholdr.com/)

Using tags from flickr, you can pull placeholder images for the site you are developing.
PlaceKitten

You can get kitten images here for use in your design or code for quick and easy access. Your image's width and height can be put after the URL and you'll get a placeholder.
