Find Any Photo

Find Any Photo finds real public-domain photographs for a video script, article, book or presentation. Describe the picture you need, such as "a breadline during the Great Depression", "the Wright brothers' first flight" or "an astronaut on the Moon", and it returns matching historical and archival photos from Library of Congress collections and US government photographers (through their copies on Wikimedia Commons) and from NASA's Image and Video Library. Each photo comes with its date, its archive, the reason it is public domain in plain words, a credit line and a link to the full-size file. Nothing is AI-generated: every result is the archive's own photograph.

Tools:

• search_photos finds photos matching a description, with optional decade, archive, photographs-only and safest-licence filters.
• get_photo shows a photo's full archive record, the licence evidence, the credit line and a download link.
• credits writes the credit lines for a set of photos, with the reason each one is public domain.
• my_usage and whoami show the signed-in account, its plan and searches used.

An account is created the first time you sign in (email or Google). 50 searches a month are free; photo details, downloads and credit lines are always free. A Pro plan with 2,000 searches a month is described at findanyphoto.com/pricing.

Licences: only photos whose archive record carries a public-domain or CC0 licence are indexed, and files that also carry a Creative Commons BY/BY-SA or GFDL licence are left out. Search text is kept for 31 days to improve the index; the connector doesn't read your conversations, memory or files.
