Unlimited Photos is a Gutenberg block plugin that integrates into the core image block, providing a way to view, search, and import over 3 million free-to-use* photos, images, and digital art.
To use it, when adding a block, search for ‘unlimited photos’ or add an image block and press the blue camera icon.
NEW: Search for images from the media tab (WordPress 6.3+).

Search AI-generated images built from platforms like stable diffusion, Dall-E, Midjourney, and more.

<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
This plugin can connect to external services in two ways:
Option 1 — Managed Service (default, no setup required)
By default, this plugin routes requests through our secure API server for AI-powered content analysis and image matching. Content is processed in real-time and is not stored permanently.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: https://smart-image-block-production.up.railway.app</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://swellapps.ai/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://swellapps.ai/privacy-policy/</a></li>
</ul>
Option 2 — Your Own API Keys (Settings → Swell AI Image Block)
You may instead enter your own API keys. In this case, your WordPress site calls the APIs directly and no data passes through our server.
Our managed server and the direct-key mode both communicate with:
