imgipsum

Designers and developers use Lorem ipsum every day for filler text. Filler images are harder. The free placeholder services online tend to be slow, watermarked, limited to one ugly format, or hiding behind a signup form just to grab a stock photo for a mockup — and the good stock libraries cost money you don't want to spend on something that'll be thrown away before launch. So Adept Web Dev built imgipsum: a free, fast placeholder image service. No account, no watermark, no upsell — paste the URL anywhere and move on.

You pick a size, a format, and a category — landscapes, food, architecture, pets, portraits, a few more — and you get a URL you can paste anywhere a web page expects an image. That's it. No account, no learning curve. Use it for design comps, demo sites, training material, contractor handoffs, anywhere you'd otherwise have grayed-out boxes or "image goes here" placeholders.

Small tools, tons of time saved

A surprising amount of everyday tasks can be supported by small purpose-built software tools — internal calculators, lookup widgets, intake forms, file processors, format converters, single-page utilities — that get used a thousand times a week and never get the attention they deserve. Most agencies won't take on that work because it's "too small." But for the team that has to use them every day, those little tools are the difference between smooth and miserable.

imgipsum is exactly that kind of project — small, focused, fast to ship, and easy to use. The same approach — pick the right tool for the job, keep the scope tight, give it a clean interface, and ship it — applies just as well to a quote calculator on a contractor's site, a CSV cleaner for an accountant, or a one-page intake form that drops straight into a CRM.

If somewhere in your business there's a small problem everyone has learned to live with, we can build you the right tool for the job. Get in touch.
