Realistic media, grouped by subject

The rest of the catalogue is organised by format, which answers “I need a WebP” and not “I need a photograph of someone at work”. These 918 files are the same library sorted the other way: by what the picture is of.

Every plate here is AI-generated and depicts no real person, place or event. Each of the 153 subjects ships as a lossless PNG reference, four JPEG quality grades and a WebP, so the reference is the answer the compressed copies are measured against rather than just another file.
