Approved gallery images may be used in personal and commercial projects without attribution, subject to the restrictions below.

You may

Use, crop, resize and adapt individual gallery derivatives in websites, apps, presentations, prototypes, marketing mockups and client work. Attribution is appreciated but not required.

You may not

Repackage or redistribute substantially the whole library as a competing stock or placeholder library; resell raw files as standalone image packs; remove or misrepresent Placeholder.photo branding on public generated derivatives; claim endorsement; use imagery unlawfully; or make misleading claims about any depicted person.

Rights boundary

This license applies only to assets that Placeholder.photo identifies as part of its curated gallery and only to rights Jansma VIP can legitimately grant. Third-party marks accidentally present in an asset are not licensed; report them so the asset can be reviewed.

A little placeholder history

Same useful idea.
A much bigger toolkit.

Jansma VIP ran a compact generator at placeholder.jansma.vip from 2024. It handled the classic size, colour and text URLs that now remain supported by Placeholder.photo.

  1. 2022An unrelated earlier developer project used the Placeholder.photo domain.
  2. 2024Jansma VIP launched its own small generator at placeholder.jansma.vip.
  3. 2026The independently built Placeholder.photo platform brought Classic, procedural art, photos, logos and avatars together.

This is an independent new implementation—not a claim of ownership over the earlier 2022 project. The nostalgic panel is a faithful visual nod, rebuilt with today’s Placeholder.photo URLs.
