Frequently Asked Questions
- Where do the images come from?
- Images are sourced from picsum.photos, a free placeholder image service powered by a curated collection of high-quality photos from Unsplash. A random image is selected each time based on your specified dimensions.
- Can I make the same photo appear every time?
- Yes — picsum.photos supports pinning a specific image by ID. Add /id/NUMBER to the URL path (e.g. picsum.photos/id/42/800/600) to always use the same photo. Browse the picsum photo list at picsum.photos/images to find image IDs.
- What image formats are supported?
- The default output is JPEG. To get a WebP image, append .webp to the URL (e.g. picsum.photos/800/600.webp). WebP is smaller in file size and supported by all modern browsers.
