PlaceKeanu
Resizable Keanu Reeves placeholder images with grayscale and young Keanu options.
About PlaceKeanu
PlaceKeanu is a placeholder image service that returns photos of Keanu Reeves for use in web development projects. Images are requested via a URL pattern specifying width and optional height (https://placekeanu.com/[width]/[height]), and can be embedded directly with an img tag.
The service supports two optional parameters: "y" restricts results to photos of a younger Keanu, and "g" returns grayscale images. If no height is specified, a square image is returned. Images are SVG-based, with photos encoded to Base64, and are cached client-side for one day, meaning repeated requests to the same page will not return a new photo each time.
The tool is aimed at developers who need placeholder images for website or app mockups. It is open-source, with source code available on GitHub, and was created by Alexander Sandberg.
