🖼️ Emjoi placeholder image service

CodePen Demo ↗️

Use Case

  1. Emojis are technically "text" in the browser, but you might need them as an image someday. (e.g. Backgrounds, masks, filtered, fallbacks)
  2. You need a quick, arbitrary placeholder image with a shape.

Usage

https://placeholdji.val.run/💎/
Use trailing slashes!

Fallback Colors

The browser/server may render a single-color symbol from the font instead of an emoji. A color string can optionally be provided in the URL to be used by the font.
