Pixabay is one of the best free stock media.

Pixabay is one of the best websites where you will get royalty-free images, videos, and media. It can be a great asset to any tech-savvy person like freelancers, content writers, social media marketer, designer or video editor. It is easy to use.

PROS

Pixabay is the first choice for my daily stock media library. The media library of pixabay is really great. It offers millions of photos, videos, illustrations, vectors, sound effects, music, and GIFs and it's completely free. If you are looking for copyrighted free media or stock photos, then pixabay is the option for you.

CONS

The downside of pixabay, you wouldn't get stunning quality media all the time. It's okay with me because it's free.

Reasons for switching to Pixabay

It's offers free and premium quality media library.

I love Pixabay high quality free videos

Overall Pixabay is the best platform for free images, videos, music and sound effects. I use their videos everyday and I edit them, and I use some of their music and I make sure to read copyrights as some platforms doesn't allow copyrighted music.

PROS

I love the fact that I can download videos and sound effects for free and I can use them for anything as long as I edit them not put them out there as they are.

CONS

The best videos are on IStock and IStick is very expensive, Pixabay should stand on their own without IStock. You have to make sure to read copyrights and now Canva owns then which we can't use certain images the way we want. Canva and IStock are hoarding good quality products from Pixabay and it is not fair.

Reasons for switching to Pixabay

IStock was too expensive and I had to pay per video like give credit to the artist and the price was too high. You have to pay the subscription and the artist separately.

Pixabay is a must for your creative projects looking to save on your marketing budgets

Pixabay is just a really useful platform for commercial free images, video, music, and vector art. We often use it to create thumbnails for our videos without it eating into our production or marketing budgets. It's a must use really.,

PROS

Pixabay is free. We use it all the time on our ad campaigns and video production to save costs on licensing similar commercial images or vectors from subscription only platforms.

CONS

Pixabay is limited with their archive and sometimes what they offer isn't quite as good as their rivals. BUT, it's free so we can't complain too miuch.

A license free solution for your digital marketing

I'm tasked with managing social media handles and digital marketing side of my company. Therefore I need to create a lot of contents for various digital platforms. I get a lot of my contents from google search but sometimes some contents are licensed that's when pixabay comes in handy. There are a lot of high quality options available in pixabay that can be used for editing and development of your digital contents. Even though the library is not as vast as google it is still an amazing platform for free contents. Getting images in different formats really helps when I need the same image for different purpose.overall a really good option for anyone who is not willing to spend a lot on premium services.

PROS

1. it's license free therefore no hassle of purchasing or dealing with watermarks.2. All the contents are in high quality and downloadable.3. Images are high resolution and available in different formats like PNG, SVG, JPEG

CONS

1. Library is limited sometimes you can't find what you are looking for.2. Videos are only available in 1080p, no 4k quality.3. Audio is only available in MP3 format, other formats like WAV, AAC are missing.

Reason for choosing Pixabay

canva is premium a lot of it's content requires money otherwise you will be left with watermarks. pixabay is license free and it saves a lot of money.

Love the options, the pricing is reasonable, its easy to navigate and find just the photo that you are looking for.

CONS

The istock photos are from a third party site, but they "tease" you and show them first. and its a different site and payment plan to get those.

Reasons for switching to Pixabay

Wide Variety Of Images

We have really enjoyed creating our content using Pixabay because of the HUGE variety of images, videos, and music. Honestly, we would not have been able to do what we do without Pixabay.

PROS

We have been able to use so many images from Pixabay for our content creation. It's been a difference in how our content is perceived. Last year, we discovered they offer videos as well as music. It just makes it easier for us to do what we love to do.

CONS

When downloading an image, they offer 4 options as far as image dimension sizes. It would be great if they offered a blank one so we can choose our own image dimensions.

A fantastic place for stock images covering various industries

For someone that works in marketing and has clients in a wide range of industries, Pixabay is a great platform to find high quality, royalty free stock images that make for great additions to the work I produce for my projects. Most of the time I am presented with plenty of brilliant options.

PROS

Always spoilt for choice with options of high quality images. Great that I can download an image to a custom size so that it suits my application

CONS

On the rare occasion I cannot find an image it would be good if there was a feature that enables users to request certain types of images.

Pixabay has a great selection of design images that can be used for a variety of works

Pixabay is an amazing stock photo website that I have had a lot of success with in the ecommerce niche. The quality of the photos is amazing and there is a wide variety of photos to choose from. I have found that the customer service is excellent and they are always willing to help with anything I need. I would highly recommend Pixabay to anyone looking for high-quality stock photos.I had a great experience with it. I found a lot of great ecommerce banners for special discounts and promotions. The selection was great and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. The process was easy and I would definitely recommend Pixabay to anyone looking for make your e-commerce offers attractive.

PROS

Pixabay is a great site for IT and Graphic Design. The content is top notch and the design is clean and modern. The site is easy to use and navigate, and the search function is great. Overall, Pixabay is a great resource for IT and Graphic Design.The most appealing thing about Pixabay for me is the clean and user-friendly interface. I also love the vast selection of high-quality photos, illustrations, and videos.Pixabay is a great resource for high quality, royalty-free images. As a graphic designer, I appreciate being able to find images that I can use in my designs without having to worry about copyright infringement.

CONS

I liked everything about Pixabay! But maybe, the least thing I liked about was that it was a little difficult to find specific types of images, specially royalty free.

Reason for choosing Pixabay

here are a few reasons why I chose Pixabay over alternatives like Pexels. First, Pixabay offers a much wider selection of photos, illustrations, and videos than Pexels does. Second, Pixabay's search function is more user-friendly and allows you to easily find the type of content you're looking for. Finally, Pixabay offers a higher quality of content overall than Pexels does.

The best platform to download free HD Images

My overall experience with pixabay was great as I do a lot of designing work for my business and always need different types of HD image content. All thanks to pixabay that every time I get something useful to continue my work and it never disappoints me. I will recommend it to others also if they are looking for some quality content.

PROS

The best thing about this platform is that it provides a huge range of photos of different domains. You can use these high-definition images for multiple purposes like wallpapers, poster making, image editing etc. Pixabay works fine and gives you premium image, video and audio content in just a few clicks that too free of cost.

CONS

The website has bugs sometimes when you search for something related to some particular domain on the website it will show that no results are found. The mobile version of the website is even worse it lags every time it opens and sometimes shutdown by itself. Even though the desktop version shows to buy the premium to download a few images it is really frustrating.

Using Pixabay

This library of free and royalty free images is absolutely huge and it would be difficult to believe that an image fitting my needs could not be found. The image search works really well, and within a couple of minutes of searching and scrolling I can usually find what I need. This is a superb resource. I have to create online learning materials and Pixabay is one of my goto resources for finding high quality images. I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and have done so a number of times.

PROS

The vast amount of free and royalty free images available on this easy to use website.

CONS

Just occasionally I select an image that perfectly fits my needs, only to find out that it is not actually a free image but an iStock image that needs to be purchased. I just wish it were more obvious when this was the case rather than getting to the point of downloading the image to find out it is not free.

Tutto in un solo posto

La mia esperienza generale con Pixabay è molto positiva, è un servizio che utilizzo molto frequentemente, magari integrandolo anche con altri simili, ma in effetti trovo quello che mi serve e mi è molto utile per la creazione di contenuti e media in generale per le pagine social della mia attività e non solo.

PROS

Mi piace di questo servizio il fatto che sia ricco di elementi di diversa natura, è una libreria di immagini, video, file vettoriali e audio, indispensabili per chi deve creare contenuti per i social, per siti e per documenti e impaginazioni di varia natura.

CONS

A seconda delle esigenze specifiche di ognuno, potrebbe esserci una quantità limitata di immagini in determinate categorie, a volte ho riscontrato che per determinate ricerche l'offerta non era proprio ricchissima.

Best for free photos

I enjoy using pixabay for my stock photos and reference photos, and it's free without the need to credit, although you can if you want. There's are options to download smaller or larger file sizes.

PROS

I always use pixabay whenever I need a stock photo for something, or even if I just want a reference of something to use for a new drawing or to get ideas because it's free and there are usually quite a lot of good options for most searches. You can also search by category of illustrations, photos or vectors.

CONS

There isn't anything I don't like, especially considering it's free! There are sometimes better photo options with Shutterstock and you will see those options as ads on the pixabay page, however it depends what you're looking for and if you want something free you can always find something!
