Every URL is an image.

Stock image thumbnails

Preview images for stock-media assets, keyed by source site and asset id. The optional -{size} suffix resizes to that width.

Example: /shutterstock/2148156765-600.jpg — Shutterstock asset 2148156765 at width 600.

Supported sites

• Audio sources return a waveform placeholder image.
• Unknown or unavailable assets return a labeled placeholder — never a broken image.
• Successful renders are cached at the edge for one year, keyed by full URL.

Text to image

Renders an SVG image from arbitrary text — handy for placeholders, Open Graph fallbacks, and quick banners.

Contribute an icon

Found a symbol that only shows a placeholder? Submit the missing icon here — contributions are reviewed before going live, usually within a day.

Guidelines

• Only submit images that are publicly available and appropriate to represent the symbol — official logos, identification use only.
• Square aspect ratio works best; SVG keeps it crisp at every size.
• Submissions are moderated — approved icons replace the placeholder at the matching URL.
