Have you ever needed sample images for your FileMaker solution for a demonstration, training, or marketing? Whether for showcasing a new product or just experimenting with data, having a tool built-in into your file will make the process much easier.
Our video shows you a simple way to generate a selection of high-quality, random images directly in FileMaker using a free online resource called Lorem Picsum.
You’ll learn the step-by-step process of generating professional-looking sample images from their site and using the Insert from URL script step. Or if you can, get started immediately using our downloadable demo file.
In the video, you’ll see how the PCI Image Generator is able to:
- Connect to the Lorem Picsum website to generate free stock photos.
- Insert images from URLs into FileMaker container fields.
- Dynamically specify the width and height using URL parameters.
- Add a grayscale or blurring effects.

What’s particularly beneficial is that you don’t have to start from nothing. The video equips you with practical steps and a demo file, so you can immediately begin implementing these techniques in your own FileMaker solutions. This approach not only saves time but also ensures consistency and professionalism in your work.
