Browse Source 
Covers generated images, their 1-1000 ?i= range, the separate 100/day
limit (each new i counts), and the main site's AI fallback past the
last working image.

- `https://free.direct-img.link/<query>` returns only images marked public domain or CC0, from Openverse, then Wikimedia Commons. No credit is needed. It has far fewer images than the main host.
- `?src=openverse` or `?src=wikimedia` limits it to one source. `src` and `i` combine in any order.
## AI images
- `https://ai.direct-img.link/<query>` generates an image instead of searching, so it never comes up empty.
- Images are 512px, soft and painterly: the right colors, setting and mood, but often not the exact object, and faces come out distorted. Use it as a fallback or for abstract/mood images, not when the exact thing matters.
- `?i=N` (1–1000) gives a different image of the same query. `?src=auroraimg-6m` is the only (and default) source.
## Rate limit
- `direct-img.link`: 35 new searches per day per IP
- `free.direct-img.link`: 100 new searches per day per IP
- Only new searches count. Cached URLs keep loading after the limit is hit.
- A search's results are kept for 1 hour, so other `?i=` values of a query searched in the last hour don't count either. If an image is wrong, try `?i=2`, `?i=3`… right away before rewording the query, since a reworded query is a new search.
