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.

Interesting... the size option could be useful. lorempixel seems to be limited in terms of keywords to a certain pre-fixed set though.

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

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

Awesome. Now I can browse cheezburger without all of the popup spam.

anandvc 14 years ago |

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

folkster 14 years ago | |

Because I am the creator. :p Thanks for reminding me, I am adding the list to the about page now.

What's the license for these images?

wavephorm 14 years ago | |

Looks like it's a front end to Google Image Search, so use at your own risk.

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

As a note, the "safe" filter is completely off for these searches. Results may not be as intended. Consult a doctor for details.

      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.

melps 14 years ago |

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

liampmccabe 14 years ago |

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!

gsa 14 years ago | |

IMDB is blocking image hotlinking, opening the img source works fine.

BerislavLopac 14 years ago | | |

Well, if it's possible to upload own picture, perhaps it might make sense to cache images in the cloud, at least when hotlinking is disabled.

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. :(

city41 14 years ago | |

That one works for me, but http://puppy.jpg.to/ doesn't work for me (brings up a broken image that is a link to http://www.myfreewallpapers.net/nature/pages/beagle-puppy.sh...). So it looks like the "proxy" nature of this service will lead to failure at times.

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

folkster 14 years ago | |

Google Image search too :)

anandvc 14 years ago | |

Very cool! :) Can you filter the punctuation marks? It shows broken images for things like question marks and periods.

minikomi 14 years ago | | |

Unfortunately, escaped characters aren't allowed as subdomains so you'll have to hardcode them as a switch/ifelse chain which returns appropriate searches (eg . => "fullstop.jpg.to")..

Feel free to fork and do so though :)

Just curious: why are you importing so many fonts?

folkster 14 years ago | |

They would be useful when I further develop the site. Now I think I should just "comment" them away.

tripzilch 14 years ago |

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

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

ssharp 14 years ago |

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

Obligatory try:

If a broken image is found, you can upload your own image to replace it :) http://jpg.to/upload.php
