FAQ
- Q: What is Lorem Picsum?
- A: Lorem Picsum (picsum.photos) is a free placeholder image service that serves real photographs at any size. It is widely used in prototypes and mockups as a drop-in alternative to custom placeholder graphics.
- Q: How do I get a consistent image every time?
- A: Use the "Image ID" option to pin a specific photo, or use "Seed" to generate a reproducible random image. Both guarantee the same image appears every time the URL is requested.
- Q: Can I generate multiple different image URLs at once?
- A: Yes. Set the "Batch count" to generate multiple URLs in one click. Each URL uses a different seed or ID so the images vary.
- Q: What is the difference between PNG and WebP output?
- A: WebP is a modern image format with smaller file sizes at equivalent quality. Use WebP for web performance testing; use PNG/JPG when your target environment does not support WebP.
- Q: Does this tool send my settings to a server?
- A: No. URL generation is done entirely in the browser. The generated URLs point to picsum.photos (a third-party service), but no settings or data are sent from this tool to any server.
