Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free for commercial use?

Yes, completely. You can use these generated image URLs in personal projects, commercial client work, and open-source software without any attribution required.

Does it support transparent backgrounds?

Currently, the generator focuses on solid background colors to ensure text visibility, which is the primary use case for wireframing. However, you can use any HEX code to match your site's background color.

Are there rate limits?

Since the images are generated via lightweight PHP scripts on the fly with no database interaction, we do not impose strict rate limits. It is designed to handle high-traffic development environments.
