**Generate image placeholders of Statamic assets for smoother lazyloading.**

[![Example image placeholders](art/example-placeholder.png)](art/example-placeholder.png)

Low-Quality Image Placeholders (LQIP) improve the perceived performance of sites by showing a small blurry placeholder image while the high-quality version is loading and are often used in combination with progressive lazyloading.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Create blurry image placeholders for assets
- Choose between ThumbHash, BlurHash, and Average Color placeholders
- Generate placeholders on upload, or optionally on demand
- Console commands for batch generation

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The addon ships with a **Placeholder Image** fieldtype and will automatically generate a small blurry placeholder image for each asset with this fieldtype in its blueprint. In your frontend views, you can access the image placeholder as a data URI string to display while the high-quality image is loading.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

1. Install using `composer require daun/statamic-placeholders`
2. Add a `placeholder` field to your asset blueprint → `assets.yaml`
3. Display placeholder data uris using the `{{ placeholder }}` field inside an `{{ asset }}` tag

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Read the [documentation](./DOCUMENTATION.md) for a detailed guide to setting up and configuring the addon.
