For when you need a little more Keanu in your life (always)

How to use this lifechanging service

Simply paste a link in this format, wherever you need him:

https://placekeanu.com/[width]/[height]*/[options]*

* optional

If you don't specify a height, you'll get a square Keanu...

...shape-wise, that is, because Keanu is always mindblowingly awesome.

Available [options]

Young Keanus only: y

Grayscale: g

Note: Some Keanus are grayscale by default.

Some examples

If you, for instance, need a little more Keanu in your website projects, you can include him with an <img>:

<img src="https://placekeanu.com/350/500/y" alt="">

How does it work?

When you send a valid request to this website, a random photo of Keanu Reeves is displayed.

The photos are cached on your end for 1 day, which is why you don't get a new Keanu on every page load.

While some placeholder image websites dynamically create new images, this service is SVG-based. For this to work properly, all photos have been encoded to Base64.

Missing something? Found a bug?

Tweet at me (@alexandberg) and let me know! Would love to add some more features, if you've got any ideas.

The service itself is open-source, and you can find the source code on GitHub.
