Placeholder Image API: Create Custom Placeholder Images Easily

Hello. this is my first true blog, had no idea, So i made a simple free api for web devs! This api allows people to make placeholder images on the go, rather than finding on internet. Fun fact:- I took more time in writing this blog than actually writing that api.

The API is accessible at:
