Holder.js

Holder.js generated images are all rendered via the HTML 5 canvas element.

The README file included with the download package also details ways of styling the placeholder with various new themes.

Works for most modern desktop and mobile browsers.

Usage:

Just add a line of code like this, to create a 400 per 400 px placeholder image:

<img src="holder.js/400x400">
