# Aura Asset Images (Unsplash-style)

Aura has a big searchable asset library at:
- https://www.aura.build/assets

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.
