UNIVRSLL Image Vault
====================

Search millions of free and premium images from multiple sources, preview them,
and download only the ones you want.


INSTALL
-------
1. Unzip this folder anywhere on your computer.
2. Double-click  UNIVRSLL Image Vault.exe
3. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click "More info" then "Run anyway".
   (The app is not code-signed yet, so Windows shows this warning for any
   new publisher. Nothing is installed and nothing runs in the background.)

Nothing else is needed. Python is NOT required - everything is bundled.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
An internet connection for searching and downloading


SOURCES
-------
Works out of the box with these free sources:
  Openverse, Wikimedia Commons, NASA, Library of Congress

Optionally add your own free API keys for:
  Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash

Add keys under  Settings / API Keys  inside the app. Keys are stored only on
your own computer.


WHERE FILES ARE SAVED
---------------------
Images are saved to the folder you choose. Alongside them the app writes an
attribution text file recording where each image came from and its licence -
keep it if you plan to publish the images anywhere.


NOTES
-----
Licences differ by source. Free does not always mean unrestricted, and some
images require credit. Check the attribution file before commercial use.

For more search variety, ask for more images than you need - search for 50-80
and pick the best 10.
