Just specify the image size after our url and you’ll get a placeholder image. So the image URL should look this: https://plchldr.co/i/336x280

You can use the images in your HTML or CSS, like this:
<a href="https://plchldr.co/"><img src="https://plchldr.co/i/336x280" alt="plchldr.co"></a>

Specify the width first, then height. Height is optional: if no height is specified, your placeholder image will be a square. https://plchldr.co/i/336 And generates a 336x336 pixel square dummy image.

You can specify text for your image by using a query string at the very end of the URL. https://plchldr.co/i/728x90?text=webdesign

Text is optional. The default is the image dimensions in pixels. You can use A-Z characters, upper or lowercase, numbers, and most symbols.

By default, text is white and the background random color. Colors are represented as hex codes after the dummy image dimensions. For example, #FF0000 is red. Colors must follow the dimensions. The first color is always the background color, and the second color is the text color.
