Lorem Picsum - The Lorem Ipsum for photos

Lorem Picsum is a simple and versatile tool for generating placeholder images for your projects. Whether you need random images, specific ones, grayscale, or blurred variations, Lorem Picsum has got you covered. This README provides an overview of how to use Lorem Picsum and its various features.

How to Use

Easy to Use, Stylish Placeholders

Just add your desired image size (width & height) after our URL, and you'll get a random image.

• To get a random image of size 200x300:
  

  https://picsum.photos/200/300
  

• For a square image, just add the size:
  

  https://picsum.photos/200
  

Specific Image

Get a specific image by adding /id/{image} to the start of the URL.

• Example:
  

  https://picsum.photos/id/237/200/300
  

Static Random Image

Get the same random image every time based on a seed by adding /seed/{seed} to the start of the URL.

• Example:
  

  https://picsum.photos/seed/picsum/200/300
  

Grayscale

Get a grayscale image by appending ?grayscale to the end of the URL.

• Example:
  

  https://picsum.photos/200/300?grayscale
  

Blur

Get a blurred image by appending ?blur to the end of the URL. You can adjust the amount of blur by providing a number between 1 and 10.

• Example with default blur:
  

  https://picsum.photos/200/300/?blur
  

• Example with custom blur (e.g., blur=2):
  

  https://picsum.photos/200/300/?blur=2
  

Advanced Usage

You can combine any of the options above. For example, to get a specific image that is grayscale and blurred:

• Example:
  

  https://picsum.photos/id/870/200/300?grayscale&blur=2
  

Requesting Multiple Images

To request multiple images of the same size in your browser, add the random query parameter to prevent caching:

<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/300?random=1">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/300?random=2">
<!-- Add as many images as needed -->

File Formats

• To get an image with a file ending (e.g., .jpg):
  

  https://picsum.photos/200/300.jpg
  

• To get an image in the WebP format:
  

  https://picsum.photos/200/300.webp
  

List Images

You can get a list of images by using the /v2/list endpoint.

• Example:
  

  https://picsum.photos/v2/list
  

The API will return 30 items per page by default. To request another page, use the ?page parameter. To change the amount of items per page, use the ?limit parameter.

• Example with page 2 and limit 100:
  

  https://picsum.photos/v2/list?page=2&limit=100
  

The Link header includes pagination information about the next/previous pages.

Image Details

Get information about a specific image by using the /id/{id}/info and /seed/{seed}/info endpoints.

• Example to get info about image ID 0:
  

  https://picsum.photos/id/0/info
  

• Example to get info about a seed:
  

  https://picsum.photos/seed/picsum/info
  

You can find out the ID of an image by looking at the Picsum-ID header or the User Comment field in the EXIF metadata.
