Considered Both Products	Pixabay Verified User Chose Pixabay We selected Pixabay due to its affordability, clear licensing, and vast range of imagery that fit our needs. Unsplash and Pexels were on par for affordability and licensing, but we felt Pixabay had a broader range of content. Shutterstock and Getty were coat prohibitive for our … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay In my opinion, stock photos are kind of all over the place, depending on how specific of an image you're looking for. I think Pixaby is on the higher / more positive side of the scale -- there are definitely sites that are not offering as polished of photos or the variety that … Incentivized Helpful? Rory Larkin Development chef in Sales at Lactalis (Food & Beverages, 10,001+ employees) Chose Pixabay Pixabay is a far more legit and easy-to-use free stock photo platform than the others I have listed above. Before using it I made sure that I was abreast of certain issues within the rules and systems that need to be followed by the letter. If you do not do this you will have … Incentivized Helpful? Jordan Marturano Marketing Director in Marketing at ProGrin Dental (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 51-200 employees) Chose Pixabay I think that Fotor is my favorite because of the way it allows the easy editing and collection of pictures. Pixabay is really not as well suited for photo editing but it is still like great resource for free pictures. Shutterstock has better images, but is more expensive. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay I use Pixabay in 2 scenarios. The first is when I've done a bunch of searching on iStock already and can't find anything. You wouldn't think Pixabay could show up then, but sometimes it hits. The other time is when I'm in a rush and just doing general Google searches for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay Canva has many more options for pictures available on their pro platform. For my business, it is easier to justify the cost of Canva as it includes other features like photo editing and graphic design. Pixabay does have pictures, and videos, and expanded into gifs but can be … Incentivized Helpful? Giovana Ramos Biologist at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Pixabay I selected Pixaby because with it's easier to find free images with excellent quality. Also, in Pixaby the indications for free or paid images is more clear than in the other platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Hayden LeMaster Owner/Operator in Professional Services at LeMaster Graphics (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Pixabay Pexels is free and fully licensed for commercial use, as is Unsplash to a certain extent. I generally open all 3 to search for free stock images for budget-sensitive clients; that being said, I always find myself searching Pixabay first. They have the best user interface of … Incentivized Helpful? Samira Islam Resmi Assistant Professor at Atish Dipankar University of Science & Technology (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Pixabay Pixabay gets around the language barrier by being available in more than 20 different languages. The website doesn't have any ads. They do have "sponsored images" from Shutterstock, but I really like that there are no other ads. When I download an image, I can choose from a … Incentivized Helpful? Shelby Bass Creative in Marketing at Gus.biz (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Pixabay Pixabay is free, easy to use, and has images, videos, vectors, illustrations, music, and sound effects—basically everything you need to make content on a budget. Getty only licenses images and videos, so I'd have to go elsewhere to find music and sound effects (and likely pay a … Incentivized Helpful? Josh Bender Managing Editor in Marketing at Travel With Bender (Leisure, Travel & Tourism, 1-10 employees) Chose Pixabay Pixabay has a few key features that stand out. The search results load fast, with an easy user interface and advanced filtering options. I often travel as I work, and at times my internet connection can be slow or unstable. Even on a slower connection, the search results are … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay Overall, I really like Pixabay as the quality of images has never let me down. On top of that, I really love the community/creators as they're very supportive. I would say that you will have not many problems or complaints when you use Pixabay and will definitely help in your … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay The filtering system is a little bit better on Pixabay and I use that lot. Some of Unsplash's photos can be a little higher quality Incentivized Helpful? Amar Shekhar Blogger in Marketing at Trekkerpedia (Leisure, Travel & Tourism, 1-10 employees) Chose Pixabay I have not used the artist much yet but I have a heard lot about Artlist from other travel videos maker in the community about how good this website is. Based on my little experience of using Artlist, I would say Pixabay has a lot fewer sound effects and music selections … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay Pixabay is a very user-friendly site, and feels less 'business' orientated and approachable. The graphic designers that used it got to grips with it very quickly and found a decent range of stuff. However, there were occasions when we needed to go somewhere else to find the … Incentivized Helpful? James Miller Director of People Enablement in Human Resources at CommentSold (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose Pixabay Pexels is very high quality but has a less professional collection of images. Most of the images in Pexels feel like they would be more at home in a local coffee shop or Millennial hangout. While Pexels' image offering is stunning, the images do not fit in alongside data sets … Incentivized Helpful? Winona Harrod Graphic Designer in Marketing at Lumi Global (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Pixabay Pixabay is adequate but needs to up its image game in order to compete with other free stock sites, which have more extensive and better quality imagery available. I personally moved from using Pixabay to other free image sites due to the quality and range of images not … Incentivized Helpful? Tara Brueske Vocal Workshops and Voice Development in Social Media at Tara Brueske Music (Music, 1-10 employees) Chose Pixabay The thing I like about Pixabay over Canva is the music available and the photos are not the same ones that Canva has. Sometimes I feel like Canva is so much more well-known that everyone uses them and then their social media posts start looking the same. It doesn't help you … Incentivized Helpful? Nina Ritchie Planner, Consumer in Marketing at Grey Group (Marketing & Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Pixabay Being a user of this image bank is really useful since if we need different illustrations for a wide variety of contexts, we have images at hand. It is an indispensable tool for companies and individuals, every day at least five new high-quality photos appear. Its main function … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay We also looked at Adobe Stock and Freepik. Adobe Stock has a better breadth of images available on their site, but they can be expensive depending on your needs. Sometimes, if Pixabay doesn't have an image that matches what I need I may use Adobe Stock or Freepik. Freepik is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay iStock doesn't offer free options. Hence we use Pixabay more often, especially with a tight budget. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay Pixabay is my starting point for any image search as it provides cross-over/reference to other sites but isn't so overwhelming with images. I feel with the other sites I could get lost in the endless pages of stock imagery, especially when they seem so similar. Incentivized Helpful? Philippa Schwarzkopf Digital Product Manager & Content Coordinator in Product Management at Tone Networks (E-Learning, 11-50 employees) Chose Pixabay Pexels is the closest competitor to Pixabay and I did sometimes use both. However, I found that Pixabay overall had better moderation of its content and therefore I was able to find a better range of results with higher quality than what I would typically find on Pexels. And … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pixabay Pixabay provides better images and a variety of search results. The filter options are really good. It's very easy to use and find what you are looking for. Incentivized Helpful?
