Doodle Ipsum

In plain words

Doodle Ipsum is a free illustration tool that automatically generates placeholder illustrations for developers using a single line of code. Powered by Blush, it works similarly to Lorem Ipsum but for images instead of text. The tool is designed to help developers and designers quickly populate mockups and prototypes with illustrations during the development process without needing to source images manually.
