FAQs About Random Image Generator
Are the images free to use?
Lorem Picsum images are designed for development and testing. For production, check licensing requirements.
Can I get the same image twice?
Each request returns a random image. Use the specific image ID if you need consistency.
What's the maximum image size?
Technically any size, but very large images take longer to load. We recommend staying under 4000px.
Can I use these in commercial projects?
For placeholders in development, yes. For final production images, source appropriately licensed content.
