Dragula

If your work usually involves working with stock photography sharing services, then you may already know all about Unsplash, one of the best websites of this type boasting impressive numbers in regards to both contributing photographers and actual high-quality photos within its database.

If you’re a fan of Unsplash, then you will want to check out what is probably the best Unsplash stock image tool for Windows, Dragula. In short, Dragula (named after the world’s famous vampire), is a cross-platform free stock image tool that brings Unsplash images directly to your computer’s desktop.

Once installed, the application unobtrusively lives in a minimalist GUI right above the taskbar, on the lower-right side of your computer’s screen (by default). The application looks and feels like a modern tool should, with a very stylish controls, and smooth-looking transition effects between menus and options.

You can search for images by simply entering the desired keywords in the search bar, and export them anywhere on the desktop (or in other apps such email clients, browsers, Adobe apps, Microsoft Office apps, etc.) via intuitive drag and drop gestures. To toggle between multiple random pictures associated with the defined keyword, simply click the refresh button located on the extreme bottom left side.

The application also provides you with the option of either using a cropped, landscape image or that of downloading the full version of the image with just a few mouse clicks. From the lower right side of the app’s GUI, you can also copy the image as Markdown to your computer’s clipboard.

There’s a Settings section that allows you to select the position of the app’s compact GUI (you can choose either one of your screen’s corners), the picture’s general quality (low, medium, or high), as well as choose from either Markdown or link for the clipboard pasting action.

Taking everything into account, Dragula is a very rare and very good application that allows both Windows and Mac users to quickly grab high-quality pictures for Unsplash and use them anywhere on their computers. The app is easy to use, modern-looking, and requires very few resources to do its job.
