Every ingredient,
ready to plate.

Browse the names, aliases, categories, SVGs, raster sizes, and restricted motion paths used by PickedPlate. No API key. No tracking. No ingredient search leaves this page.

SVG motion lab

From paths to a moment

The same catalog drives a small selection bloom, path-by-path assembly, and a ranked ingredient montage. Reduce Motion is honored automatically.

Now animating Tomato

Selection bloom

The image arrives into a reserved slot, so a recipe row never jumps while loading.

Loading motion paths…

Path assembly

Restricted M/L/C/Q/Z commands rebuild the sanitized SVG without parsing arbitrary markup.

Ranked montage

Up to twelve ingredients begin loading together, then settle into a staggered lineup.

Static API documentation
