A short companion for SVG Placeholder: when it is useful, what it expects, and what to check before using the result.
What it does
Create a placeholder image as an SVG: pick the size, background and text colour and get a small vector file to drop into a layout while the real image is being produced.
Use the tool
Open SVG Placeholder, add the input the tool asks for, run it, and check the output before using it elsewhere.

Questions
Why SVG rather than a PNG?
It is a few hundred bytes, stays sharp at any size and can be edited in a text editor. There is no reason to ship a bitmap for a solid rectangle.
