About this project
This started as a tiny random-photo redirect. It is now a small photo library with city galleries: practical imagery for mockups, prototypes and editorial pages, without a sign-up.
Photos come from Unsplash. They stay the property of their photographers, and every image on this site links to its author and to the original photo page.
For developers
Point an <img> tag at
https://random.danielpetrica.com/api/random
and the server answers with a 303 redirect to a random image. Add
?format=raw|full|regular|small|thumb|small_s3 to pick a size, and
?format=regular is the default.
City galleries are plain HTML and indexed with structured data, so they are easy to link and crawl. Read the API guide for examples.
