Yay! This is a super handy plugin:

This is fantastic, the Unsplash photography is beautiful. Installed.
I also recommend Content Generator plugin, great for generating profile pictures, fill in text, etc (https://github.com/timuric/Conte...), and Sketchsquares, which fills layers with images from Instagram (https://github.com/abynim/Sketch...).
Edit: you guys should install the Sketch Toolbox if you haven't already. Search, install and manage Sketch plugins: http://sketchtoolbox.com
Hey, thank you @chrismessina for hunting the plugin :)
This was actually a very quick way to scratch a personal itch, as they say, but I'm really, really glad it turned out to be useful for the community ! Thank you guys
Quick question, does anyone use the + Options version?
@manuelecapacci Hmm. On the fence with that one. I have used it, but very rarely, but it is handy. Grrr. Not sure :)
@manuelecapacci What would be a cool feature, is an option to search for more specific images via tags? Like on the Unsplash page itself?
That's super useful!
I'd second @pddro's comment about Sketch Toolbox, it makes installing any plugin a breeze: http://sketchtoolbox.com
On a similar note this can also be done on the web via URL query with either of these:
https://source.unsplash.com/ (official unsplash) or https://unsplash.it/
Hey @chrisunderdown , the pictures are taken from unsplash.com and they are all very high resolution (and very high quality). For optimization sake, the plugin retrieve a picture that is exactly the size of your shape layer. If you enlarge that shape layer later it would be better to run the plugin again.
This is a great plugin for building screenshots for Mac AppStore when you want to show a desktop :) Awesome!
Btw, I've created a very similar plugin, but for artworks from Last.fm: https://github.com/mmth/sketch-a...
@drikerf My fork allows you to do just that. We're debating keeping the current options functionality or the search functionality. Can't do both. https://github.com/nolastan/Unsp...
yo @manuelecapacci, just a tip. It should load double resolution images on retina displays.
@jurajivan good call! It will probably depend to the "Retina Canvas" switch in the app settings, but it's a check that will be included for sure in the next update. Thanks!
Amazing! Only thing is, I wish the images were higher res, these seem quite pixelated.
From all designers, thanks @chrismessina to hunt it and thanks to @manuelecapacci to made it!
