Tier: Core polish · Order: 28 of 35 · Effort: M · Impact: med

What

Search your uploads, pull free Unsplash/Pexels photos in the editor, and set a focal point so crops keep the subject on every screen size.

Why

Squarespace, Wix, Duda and Hostinger all have in-editor stock photos; Squarespace has focal points.

Today

Upload/list/delete; crop ratio and cover/contain only.

Design notes

Focal point = object-position. Stock API calls go through the backend so no key ships to the browser; picked photos become normal assets.

Depends on

None


From the 2026-10-07 site-builder research (competitor review, user sentiment, code audit, Fable prioritization). Roadmap: https://claude.ai/artifact/QpQcSCk21z6SN7LPSm8tKE · id media-library-stock-focal
