These look very nice thanks, hope it can be expanded. Interesting I wonder how does web devs handle transparency? There must be a better way than pngs.

Thanks! Yeah, expanding the collection is the priority right now.

Re: transparency - PNGs are still the most universally supported. WebP has better compression but inconsistent support in design tools (Photoshop, Figma, etc.). SVGs don't work for photographic specimens.

Could potentially offer WebP alongside PNG for modern browsers, but PNG is the safe default for now.
