## What it is
An iOS photo search and picker library that lets users find and select images from providers like 500px, Flickr, Instagram, Giphy, Google, and Bing Images. It mimics UIImagePickerController's UI and includes a minimalistic image cropper with square, circular, and custom crop guides.

## Use cases
- let users pick photos from Flickr or Instagram in an iOS app
- search stock or web images inside a mobile app
- add an image picker with cropping to a profile photo flow
- crop selected photos to a circle like the Contacts app
- filter image search results by Creative Commons license

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or cross-platform frameworks
- you need modern Swift-first or SwiftUI integration
- you require actively maintained support for the latest iOS versions and current provider APIs
