Aura Asset Images (Unsplash-style)

Aura has a big searchable asset library at:

Use it like Unsplash: search by tag, pick 5 strong candidates, and return direct image URLs.

How to search (fast)

  1. Open: https://www.aura.build/assets
  2. Use the search box or URL query:
    • https://www.aura.build/assets?q=<tag>&order=popular
  3. Tags that work well: background, abstract, architecture, portrait, headshot

URL formats (what to return)

Aura thumbnails commonly look like:

https://hoirqrkdgbmvpwutwuwj.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/assets/<UUID>_800w.jpg

Higher-res (recommended)

Many images support a larger variant by swapping:

  • _800w → _1600w

Example:

  • 800w: .../<id>_800w.jpg
  • 1600w: .../<id>_1600w.jpg

If a _1600w variant 404s, keep _800w and instruct the user to open the asset page and download/export.

Ratios (what to crop to)

  • Avatars: 1:1 (square)
  • Headshots: 4:5 or 3:4
  • Website heroes / large backgrounds: 16:9
  • Mobile wallpapers / stories: 9:16

Cropping tip:

  • For faces, keep eyes ~1/3 from the top; avoid cutting chin/forehead.
  • For backgrounds, preserve horizon lines and keep 30–50% negative space for text.
