Considered Both Products	Pexels Luiz Alexandre Viana Magno Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Research & Development at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Pexels Pexels is more simple. The alternative options give no good search/selection experience. For example, you are limited to searching just one characteristic or the results are not always accurate. For example, your search for A and get B. Finally, I also note that the user does … Incentivized Helpful? Ashley Schwartau Operations Specialist, Learning and Development in Human Resources at OpenReel (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Pexels I would put Pexels library up against Unsplash. iStock and Shutterstock are both SUPER pricey, and I haven't used either of them in YEARS simply due to the fact that they remain to be cost-prohibitive. Pixabay is fine, but the quality seems far less curated or just like more … Incentivized Helpful? Amy Highland Brand and UX+UI Designer at Wiro (Design, 11-50 employees) Chose Pexels Pexels has a great search function behind it and is very compatible with the other leading brands. One of the main benefits in comparison is that it is free to use and promotes creativity with its photographers. It has fewer 'stock looking' images as opposed to Adobe or Shutters… Incentivized Helpful? Mehak Chawla Senior Marketing Associate in Marketing at Growth Natives (Marketing & Advertising, 201-500 employees) Chose Pexels Pexels provides a plethora of videos to choose from and you can get the right size. The platform is free and if you use great keywords you can easily find what you are looking for. Users can also contribute to the community and it has challenges which I think are great … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pexels Pexels has video's! That's the main differentiator why I go to Pexels now. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pexels I know Pixabay and Unsplash and both are similar to Pexels. All of them have similar features in regards to searching, filtering, or collections. But if I am not wrong, only Pexels has the option to download an image in a customised size. Incentivized Helpful? David Mynář Head Of Online Marketing in Marketing at Fresh Services, s.r.o. (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Pexels Pexels have by far the biggest database for our needs, 9 out of 10 pictures we find is from Pexels. Incentivized Helpful? Josh Bender Managing Editor in Marketing at Travel With Bender (Leisure, Travel & Tourism, 1-10 employees) Chose Pexels Pexels has a few unique features that stand out, the most important being a 1-click download from the search results. No need to navigate to another page to find a "download" button. This reduces the time required to find and download an appropriate image. The search results … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pexels Pexels is very affordable, and has a decent range of free-to-use options. Images have a wide arrange of people and places represented. Incentivized Helpful? Winona Harrod Graphic Designer in Marketing at Lumi Global (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Pexels Overall, Pexels is a really helpful and easy site to use to get royalty-free imagery. It has been highly beneficial to me in all my design projects obtaining dynamic and natural images that some large-paying stock sites can not provide. Sometimes you can find more variety at … Incentivized Helpful? Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter in Marketing at Making Science (Marketing & Advertising, 501-1000 employees) Chose Pexels Pexel images are more inspiring, aspiring, creative, and artistic than the usual stock images. We work with Pexels because it is free and we really admire the fact that some photographers or creatives around the world are happy to share their work in such a kind and generous … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pexels Pexels is one of my favorite stock image tools. The quality is top-notch and the search capabilities/filters really help you find what you want. Incentivized Helpful? Allen Eshmoili President/CEO in Corporate at Premier Spine and Sport Rehabilitation & Wellbeing (Hospital & Health Care, 1-10 employees) Chose Pexels I just found Pexels more simple to use and easy to navigate. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pexels Really similar offerings, and we actually use both Unsplash and Pexels. Pexels has a nicer user interface to search through photos, but Unsplash isn't bad, either. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pexels If you're looking for a particular type of image or searching for a specific term, you're most likely to find a ton of results with Unsplash. However, Pexels is generally more user-friendly when collaborating with teams or clients. You can find images for your stories using … Incentivized Helpful?	Unsplash Verified User Chose Unsplash for Brands Pexels is my second favourite license-free photo service. However, is easily bettered by Unsplash. This is because of Unsplash’s superior search functionality. When searching for more than one word on Pexels, it usually focuses on the more popular, keyword out of the two. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unsplash for Brands There is one obvious major advantage to Pexels (and Unsplash really) in that the images are royalty-free. We can use them without fear of being sued afterward, and we don't even have to create an account, just download the image and it's ready to go. When it comes to Pexels' … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Unsplash for Brands Stacks up well offers another option for finding copyright-free images and is directly a part of our program so I don't need to go to an external site to find other photos. Makes it extremely worthwhile to use! Also easy to teach others how to use which makes my job easier. Incentivized Helpful?
