Introduction
Something I discovered lately, we all should quite familiar with lorem ipsum dummy text generator, how about some dummy image generators this time. As a frontend developer, I found myself create dummy images just to fit the layout during development, and discovery of this dummy image generators would save a lot of my times! Most of the generators able to generate images by the dimension specified in the URL, it's on the fly generation of images and some even comes with a few more customization such as font face, icons and colors.
Here we have 8 dummy image generators. All images in this post are generated dynamically, so you would have a rough idea how the generated images will look like.
