Random Image / Picture Generator, FAQ

Where do the random images come from?
Images are served by Lorem Picsum (picsum.photos), which hosts photos from Unsplash. Each click requests a new random photo in the size you choose.
Is this an AI image generator?
No. It does not create images with AI. It shows real photographs chosen at random.
Can I use the images as placeholders?
Yes. Copy the image link and use it in mockups, websites or design files. The size you pick is part of the link.
Can I get black and white images?
Choose "Black & white" in the Style menu. You can also choose "Blurred" for soft background images.
Can I generate several images at once?
Set How many up to 12 to get a grid of random photos.

Set your options if you like, then press Generate. You'll get a random photo instantly, ready to copy. Sensible defaults mean you can also just hit Generate.
Is the Random Image / Picture Generator really random?
Yes. Where available, Toolssy uses the browser's Web Crypto API, far stronger than a basic Math.random() call, so your random photos are genuinely unpredictable and unbiased.
Is the Random Image Generator free, and do you store anything?
It is free with no account. Toolssy stores nothing; the photos themselves are loaded directly from picsum.photos when you press Generate.
