unsplash-it-sketch's Introduction

Unsplash It Sketch Plugin

A plugin to quickly include great looking images from Unsplash in your Sketch projects. Because being able to quickly iterate on UI is important but also having great photography as placeholders is not that bad.

Demo

Updates

1.4

Fixed all the compatibilty issues with Sketch 4.

1.3

Switched to the Unsplash Source API.
You can now specify tags, between square brackets, in the layer name. ( e.g. [bird, sea] ). If no image is available for the search tags you choose, you get a default image with "We coulnd' find that photo" on it.
Removed options, since to blur and desaturate the image is fairly easy to do using default Sketch tools.

Next iteration

With the layer selected, being able to navigate to the picture page URL on Unsplash.

Installation

With Sketch Toolbox

Look for "Unsplash It" in Sketch Toolbox
Click on "Install"

Manual

Download Zip and Extract it to a folder
In Sketch app Plugins > Reveal Plugins folder...
Place the extracted folder directly to the Plugins folder

Usage

Create one or more shapes and select them
Run the plugin from the plugins menu or you can use the shortcut cmd + shift + u
That's it, your shape(s) will become beautiful placeholder images

optional

Name your layer according to the content of the image you need, using tags in square brackets. e.g. a layer named "Rectanlge [food]" would only fill with images of food.
