    I don't know if I'll ever use this but that "Infinite View" is a lot of fun, I just lost 20 minutes before snapping myself out of a trance. Some really cool pictures in there.

    Does anyone know how easily you can do "copyright clearance" for these supposedly public domain images?

    For example, the page for the first image I clicked on said:

        Date
        1833
    
        Underlying Rights
        Public Domain Worldwide
    
        Digital Rights
        No Additional Rights
    
        * Source states “no known restrictions”

    with a link to: https://pdimagearchive.org/reusing-images/

    If, for example, you design the cover of a self-published book around such an image, is Amazon KDP going to reject it, because they don't accept that screenshot as sufficient proof of rights?

      Just contact the original author. You may need to pay extra for the Medium.

    I do not know how this site managed to break mousewheel scrolling so badly, but I am quite impressed.

      I haven’t tried it on desktop but on mobile, the “infinite” view is quite nice.

    Would've been more relevant before genAI

    Now I can generate any realistic photo/cartoon I want
