  You can join the options using a "+" character. e.g. http://cat.jpg.to/r+l+gif is a random large cat gif image. options available:

  "jpg" "gif" "png"

  "face" "photo" "clipart" "lineart"

  "black" "blue" "brown" "gray" "green" "orange" "pink" "purple" "red" "teal" "white" "yellow"

  "huge" "xxl" "xxlarge" "xl" "xlarge" "l" "large" "m" "medium" "s" "small" "xs" "i" "icon"

  "r" "random"

  Made three requests following links in this thread, all three times request policy indicated off-site content.

  Looks like a hot-link generator to me :(

  http://lorempixel.com/ - does something very similar, but you can tell it the size of picture you're looking for and all the images are creative commons.

      http://www.placenoun.com/<keyword>/<width>/<height>/
  

  http://www.placenoun.com/unicorn/600/700/

  Actually usable for placeholder images since it returns an actual picture, not an html page with an image tag.

  Is there a documented list of all the parameters somewhere? How did you know about /random+large+gray?

• by eli on 2/21/12, 2:08 PM

  What's the license for these images?

  Why is http://man.jpg.to creepy/NSFW?

      function jpgto(){
        local jptkeyword=$1;
        local jptpath=$2;
        curl -silent -F keyword=$jptkeyword -F file="@$jptpath" jpg.to/finish.php >> /dev/null;
        echo "http://jpg.to/$jptkeyword";
      }
  
  
      [you@home]$ jpgto kittay /path/to/cat.jpg
  

  jpgto bash function! Now with no error checking for worry free performance!! :p https://gist.github.com/1878588

  EDIT: it outputs the vote link because we don't know if you have the top img for that tag.

  I think it just gets the first image from google images with your given keyword. You can also get the second, third, etc by doing http://kittens2.jpg.to, http://kittens3.jpg.to

  You can also do http://kittensgif.jpg.to. Queue http://headexplodegif.jpg.to

  Potentially very useful. It would be even more useful if you could add width and height parameters. Assuming you are the creator of course.

  http://natalieportman.jpg.to/ Doesn't work!

• by TomAnthony on 2/21/12, 2:53 PM

  Is there an advantage to having the keyword in the subdomain rather than the query string?

  Also - http://dinosaur.jpg.to/ doesn't work unfortunately. :(

  I think using the same technique as http://motyar.info/love/cats Which web API you are using? I am using Google Image search.

  Just curious: why are you importing so many fonts?

• by tripzilch on 2/21/12, 2:27 PM

  This is so awesome. Super simple idea but I'm already grinning like a maniac coming up with ideas of what to use it for

• by adamtmca on 2/21/12, 6:57 PM

  Well, I am impressed.

  ROFL this is awesome! Not sure why my buddy comes up when I type in my name though...

• by reedcat on 2/21/12, 3:47 PM

  Click 'Go' w/o typing a keyword and you get an application error :(

• by ssharp on 2/21/12, 2:41 PM

  This is cool, but I'd much prefer something with free-use licenses.

  Obligatory try:
