It generates a specialized URL (e.g., `https://picsum.photos/400/300`) that tells the image provider to return a random image of those dimensions.
Are these images free to use?
Yes, they come from royalty-free sources like Unsplash/Picsum, but you should always check the final license if you use them in a real product.
Why does the image change on refresh?
It's a 'random' generator! If you want a static image, you'd need to save it or use a service that supports specific IDs.
Can I choose the subject?
Yes, typing 'cat' or 'city' usually helps the provider find relevant photos.
