Image generators

Generation tools create an image from numbers instead of editing an existing one, which makes them the fastest way to get an exact canvas: a transparent empty image of a given size, a solid color fill, a linear gradient between two or more colors, a color spectrum, or a grid of lines. A placeholder image is a quick way to get a labeled rectangle of the right size for a layout that is still in progress.

The color tools here are design aids rather than converters. A color wheel shows the hue circle, and the harmony schemes - complementary, triadic, tetradic, analogous and monochromatic - lay out the colors that go with a chosen one. Shades of a color, mixed colors and a sorted palette are the practical version of the same idea: pick colors, see how they relate, export them as an image or as a list.

Text to image is the last group here. Emoji to PNG and text to PNG render a character or a line of text onto a canvas with a transparent background, which is what you need when a glyph has to become a file - an icon, a sticker, a label. Two images can also be blended pixel by pixel, which is a quick way to compare or combine two versions of the same picture.

Tools in this category

Create empty PNG Creates a blank canvas of the chosen dimensions, either transparent or filled with a solid color. 01 Create solid color PNG Generates a rectangle of the given size and color. 02 Create random noise PNG Generates an image with random pixels. The seed fixes the result: one seed — one image. 03 Create gradient PNG Generates a smooth transition between two colors along a chosen angle. 04 Color spectrum Full hue rainbow 0–360° along the chosen axis with adjustable saturation and lightness. 05 Random color blocks Fills the canvas with random vivid color blocks. Deterministic by seed. 06 Draw a grid Draws a grid with custom columns, rows and line width on a transparent or white background. 07 Create a placeholder image Generates a placeholder rectangle with its dimensions printed in the center. 08 Blend two colors into a gradient A continuous horizontal gradient between two colors. 09 Color steps between two colors A discrete set of evenly spaced steps between two colors. 10 Emoji to PNG Renders an emoji or any Unicode symbol as a transparent PNG of the chosen size. 11 Color wheel Generates an HSL color wheel: hue around the circle, saturation from center to edge, chosen lightness. 12 Complementary color palette Two opposite colors on the color wheel — the base and its complement. 13 Triadic color palette Three colors evenly spaced 120° apart on the color wheel. 14 Tetradic color palette Four colors in two complementary pairs, 90° apart on the wheel. 15 Analogous Color Palette Neighboring hues around the base color — calm, related color scheme. 16 Monochromatic color palette Tones of a single hue: lightness varies within the chosen range, hue and saturation stay fixed. 17 Color shades ramp A ramp of the base color getting darker step by step. 18 Mix colors Averages the selected colors into one swatch. Colors become one uniform fill. 19 Sort colors into swatches Renders the chosen colors as swatches sorted by hue, brightness or saturation. 20 Text to PNG Creates a PNG image from text: the canvas is sized to fit the label plus padding. 21
