FAQPage Schema
How do I download placeholder images for frontend UI prototyping?▼

Download placeholder images for frontend UI prototyping by running a Bash script that uses curl to fetch random images from Lorem Picsum at configurable resolutions directly into your assets directory.

Can I fetch multiple placeholder images at custom resolutions like 4K?▼

You can fetch multiple placeholder images at custom resolutions by specifying the desired quantity and applying standard presets like --4k or custom --size arguments when executing the Bash download script.

Does downloading sample images with curl require any special setup?▼

Downloading sample images with curl requires having the curl dependency installed within a Bash environment to execute the script, which retrieves images directly from the picsum.photos web service.

What is the best way to get grayscale or blurred images for wireframes?▼

The best way to get grayscale or blurred images for wireframes is to pass optional effect flags in the Bash download script, fetching modified sample images directly from Lorem Picsum.

Are there limitations to fetching random images for design mocks?▼

A limitation of fetching random images for design mocks is that the script retrieves arbitrary visuals from Lorem Picsum, meaning you cannot specify exact image content or subject matter for your UI layouts.
