Frequently asked questions
What is an image placeholder?
An image placeholder is a tiny preview, blurred image, or representative color shown while the full image loads. It can improve perceived loading speed and reduce abrupt visual changes.
How do I generate a Next.js blurDataURL?
Upload an image, choose a small placeholder width and quality, then copy the generated Next.js Image component snippet containing the blurDataURL value.
What is an LQIP image?
LQIP means low-quality image placeholder. It is a very small version of the original image that can be displayed and blurred until the full-resolution file is ready.
Can I generate a dominant color placeholder?
Yes. PicFlow samples the uploaded image locally and provides a representative color that can be copied into CSS, HTML, JSON, or application code.
Are placeholder images generated privately?
Yes. Canvas creates the tiny image, Base64 value, dominant color, and code snippets entirely in your browser without uploading the source image.
