--- name: unsplash-asset-images description: Use when you need to pick high-quality Unsplash images for product/design assets (avatars, headshots, portraits, large website backgrounds, and abstract wallpapers) and output real Unsplash URLs plus practical instructions for producing the right resolutions and aspect ratios (1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16). --- # Unsplash Asset Images (Avatars, Portraits, Backgrounds, Wallpapers) Goal: quickly grab *good-looking* images from Unsplash and deliver them in the **right size + ratio**. ## Output rule For each recommendation, output: 1) **Unsplash page URL** (canonical) 2) Suggested **ratios + sizes** for the use case If the user wants a file, instruct them to use the **Download** button on Unsplash and then crop/resize in their design tool or image pipeline. ## License / safety (keep it simple) - Unsplash images are generally free to use, but **avoid Unsplash+** images unless the user explicitly wants them. - Don’t present the photographer name as “required attribution” (Unsplash doesn’t require it), but it’s good practice to include. --- ## How to deliver the right size + ratio 1. Open the Unsplash photo page and use the **Download** button. 2. Resize/crop to the target ratio in your design tool or image pipeline. 3. Keep faces centered for avatars/headshots and preserve horizon for wide backgrounds. Note: do not include Unsplash source or secondary image links; keep only the main photo page URLs. --- ## Curated picks (5 each) ### 1) Avatars (1:1) Pick images with clean face framing + simple backgrounds. 1. https://unsplash.com/photos/man-wearing-black-shirt-aoEwuEH7YAs 2. https://unsplash.com/photos/grayscale-photography-of-man-wearing-crew-neck-shirt-jmURdhtm7Ng 3. https://unsplash.com/photos/grayscale-photography-of-woman-with-two-hands-on-her-face--Keh6vLM7w0 4. https://unsplash.com/photos/man-in-black-crew-neck-shirt-QWa0TIUW638 5. https://unsplash.com/photos/man-wearing-black-denim-jacket-near-building-2RFwLL-YX44 Suggested deliverables: - 1:1: **256×256**, **512×512**, **1024×1024** ### 2) Headshots (4:5 or 3:4) Aim for shoulders-up framing, neutral backgrounds, “professional but human”. 1. https://unsplash.com/photos/mans-grey-and-black-shirt-ILip77SbmOE 2. https://unsplash.com/photos/man-facing-on-left-side-co2Nn11OP3k 3. https://unsplash.com/photos/woman-with-blue-eyes-and-black-hair-VLJV46hPLSM 4. https://unsplash.com/photos/woman-with-blonde-hair-and-red-lipstick-8f3yvMdkWJI 5. https://unsplash.com/photos/a-young-woman-poses-with-hands-near-her-face-bF6wuOivk2M Suggested deliverables: - 4:5: **800×1000**, **1200×1500**, **1600×2000** - 3:4: **900×1200**, **1500×2000** ### 3) Portraits (editorial / candid) Use these when the vibe is “human story”, not “corporate headshot”. 1. https://unsplash.com/photos/woman-holding-vintage-camera-to-take-a-picture-O_UK4X6ekgI 2. https://unsplash.com/photos/man-wearing-a-straw-hat-and-maroon-shirt-Rd2UXAg8Zc0 3. https://unsplash.com/photos/brPuA0a0Uuk 4. https://unsplash.com/photos/Plii16U9bOU 5. https://unsplash.com/photos/man-leaning-on-wall-silhouette-2trSyEqR0pA Suggested deliverables: - 3:4: **1500×2000** - 4:5: **1200×1500** - 1:1 crop for social: **1080×1080** ### 4) Large backgrounds (website hero, banners) — 16:9 Pick wide shots with clean negative space and readable gradients. 1. https://unsplash.com/photos/landscape-photography-of-mountains-twukN12EN7c 2. https://unsplash.com/photos/a-black-landscape-with-mountains-in-the-background-X93tlrlx5kI 3. https://unsplash.com/photos/a-landscape-with-trees-and-mountains-in-the-background-96mTBTH9MEw 4. https://unsplash.com/photos/mountains-and-a-blue-sky-create-a-picturesque-landscape-fgCR4Yj3CLs 5. https://unsplash.com/photos/landscape-with-milky-way-night-sky-with-stars-on-the-mountain-long-exposure-photograph-with-grain-Vt7Se0uqEpA Suggested deliverables: - Desktop hero: **1920×1080**, **2400×1350**, **2880×1620** - Social banner: **1500×500** (3:1) — consider manual crop ### 5) Abstract wallpapers (desktop/mobile) Use when you need “brand-safe”, non-specific visuals. 1. https://unsplash.com/photos/an-abstract-purple-background-with-a-black-background-5Q9Gf0WSyLk 2. https://unsplash.com/photos/abstract-layered-shapes-with-a-gradient-orange-color-5q4zsTaVN4I 3. https://unsplash.com/photos/abstract-organic-shapes-with-blue-and-yellow-gradients-c0B1HYG6ZK4 4. https://unsplash.com/photos/blue-waves-form-a-soft-abstract-gradient-dYksH3vHorc 5. https://unsplash.com/photos/abstract-purple-waves-on-a-dark-background-ZQSPIiFEMoU Suggested deliverables: - Desktop: **2560×1600** or **2880×1800** - Mobile: **1080×1920** (9:16) --- ## Quick “which ratio do I use?” cheatsheet - **Avatar**: 1:1 - **Headshot card**: 4:5 (great default), 3:4 (taller) - **Website hero background**: 16:9 - **Mobile wallpaper / story background**: 9:16 If the user asks for “best image”: - prefer clean negative space - avoid busy backgrounds - ensure face is not cropped awkwardly (use `crop=faces` on production URLs) --- Source attribution: MengTo Original project: https://github.com/MengTo/Skills License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Gabriel Moreira Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
