What Slate is
Slate, at slate.fleeq.net, is a free library of large photographs. It searches several image sources at once, merges the results into one feed, and shows only images that are big enough for a desktop wallpaper, a banner or a hero image.
Where the images come from
Section titled “Where the images come from”| Source | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Pexels | photography of every kind, from Pexels’s photographers |
| NASA | space, Earth and astronomy imagery from NASA’s image library |
Results from each source are interleaved into one feed, so one search covers them all. Each image keeps its source’s license — see Licensing.
Only large images
Section titled “Only large images”Slate shows only images at least 3,000 pixels wide. Anything smaller is left out of the feed, whatever its source. Downloads are the original file at full resolution: no thumbnails, no recompression, no watermark.
Made for your screen
Section titled “Made for your screen”Choose a display ratio — 16:9, 21:9, 27:9 or 32:9 — and the feed shows only images whose shape is close to it, so what you pick fills a standard, ultrawide or super-ultrawide screen without awkward cropping. See Display ratio.
No account
Section titled “No account”There’s nothing to sign up for. The images you like and download are remembered in your browser only — see Likes & downloads.
