# Dataset Card for TextureCan Textures

## Dataset Summary

This dataset contains 4,037 texture images from texturecan.com. It includes textures of various materials such as brick, paper, fabric, metal, wood, stone, and other surfaces. The original archives were downloaded, unpacked, and images were compressed using PNG optimization and JPEG quality compression (90%) to reduce file size while maintaining good quality.

## Languages

The dataset is monolingual:
- English (en): Texture titles, descriptions, and tags are in English.
