The 600×400 placeholder
600×400 is a popular medium placeholder size with a 3:2 aspect ratio. It's a great fit for content cards, blog post thumbnails, gallery tiles, and product previews — big enough to look intentional in a layout, small enough to stay light.
This page opens already set to 600×400. Adjust the colours or caption if you like, then download a 600×400 PNG or a scalable SVG. You can change the size at any time for a different dimension.
How to make a 600×400 placeholder
- Open the page. The generator is already set to 600 × 400 pixels.
- Tweak it. Change the background, text colour, or label — or leave the defaults.
- Download. Save it as a 600×400 PNG, or as an SVG that scales to any size.
Need a different size?
Type any width and height into the size fields, or tap a ratio preset to keep the 3:2 shape while changing the resolution. 1200×800 is the same ratio at double the resolution.

Where the 600 × 400 placeholder is used
- 3:2 is the native aspect ratio of most digital camera sensors and 35 mm film, so a 600 × 400 box mocks up a real photo slot more faithfully than a square or 16:9 frame.
- It is a frequent default in CMS and component libraries (for example a card thumbnail), which is why 600 × 400 is one of the most-requested placeholder sizes for front-end work.
- To scale up while keeping the exact shape, multiply both sides: 900 × 600, 1200 × 800, and 1500 × 1000 are all the same 3:2 ratio at higher resolution.
- When the real photo arrives, exporting it at 600 × 400 (or any 3:2 size) drops it straight into the slot with no re-cropping or layout shift.
