We should specify that width and height are in pixels.

Please update the tests so the dont fail anymore.

@Devdre1909 May I go ahead and fix these things to get this merged or do you wish to do this yourselves?

Hi @Devdre1909 ,

it seems to me that site does not exist anymore

[matthewmayer]

See #2477

While the homepage of the site now promotes am unrelated business the images appear to continue to work for now.

It seems that the via.placeholder.com images API is not longer active. placeholder.com is still alive; however, via.placeholder.com does not resolve. Image URL within the test JSON are no longer valid.

Thanks for the report. We have deprecated it:

• refactor(image): deprecate urlPlaceholder #3341

The deprecation will be released in a few days.

• chore(release): 9.4.0 #3362

As a workaround, you can use:

faker/src/modules/image/index.ts

Line 307 in bddce72

proposed: 'faker.image.url() or faker.image.dataUri()',
