Images Search

brave/brave-search-skillsOfficial

This wraps Brave's image search API for quick visual content retrieval. You get up to 200 images per request with thumbnails, titles, source URLs, and dimensions when available. SafeSearch defaults to strict (no moderate option like web search), which is honestly a good default for most use cases. The thumbnails are Brave-proxied at around 500px width for privacy, and you get both a low-res placeholder URL and the original full-size image link. It's straightforward if you need bulk image sourcing or want to enrich content with visuals. Just note that some images won't have dimension data, so build your layouts accordingly.
