Output
The result appears here as you type.
How to use Generate an Empty Image
- 1. Set Width and Height. Enter the pixel dimensions you need for the blank canvas, matching whatever placeholder size your project requires.
- 2. Choose Transparent or white. Check Transparent for a fully see-through PNG with no fill at all, or leave it unchecked for a solid white background instead.
- 3. Generate and download. Click generate to build the blank PNG and download it. Every pixel is either fully transparent or fully white, with nothing else drawn.
When to use Generate an Empty Image
Generate an Empty Image creates a truly blank canvas at any size, either fully transparent or filled plain white. It differs from a colored swatch generator in that it produces genuinely empty content, useful as a starting point rather than a finished visual.
- Starting a new canvas in an image editor. You want a blank transparent PNG at a specific size to open in an editing tool and build layers on top of, rather than starting from a filled background.
- Providing a fallback avatar or thumbnail. A user profile has no uploaded photo yet, and a blank transparent image at the expected avatar dimensions keeps the layout from breaking until a real photo is added.
- Testing how a layout handles missing imagery. You want to confirm a page or app handles an empty image gracefully, and a truly blank white or transparent file at the right size gives you that exact test case.

About the Generate an Empty Image tool
Generate an Empty Image runs as plain JavaScript in your browser tab, with no server behind it. Create a blank image of any size: fully transparent or filled white. Whatever you put in stays on your device from start to finish.
The tool is part of EditSafely's Image Tools section, 200 single-purpose utilities built around the same idea: open the page, get the result, keep your data to yourself.
You can shape the output with 3 settings, including Width (px), Height (px) and Transparent (otherwise white), and the result refreshes the moment you change one. The finished file is put together in browser memory and saved with the Download button, so it never touches a server on the way to your disk. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
That local-first design has practical benefits beyond privacy. The tool keeps working on a flaky connection once the page has loaded, results are instant because nothing round-trips to a server, and it is safe to use with confidential material.
