Really convenient, simple, and powerful tool for web developers.
This is a programmer's resource - _a web programmer _ to be precise. There are no images to browse and select from because this service sources it's images from Unsplash.
While this service is of great utility and convenience to specialists, if you're just looking for an image or few for your presentation, publication, post etc, be prepared to be able to code your request to fetch what you need.
It is definitely not an alternative to Unsplash, Pixabay, Pexel or other such repositories of freely usable stock images.
