Pixabay

Pixabay is one of the world's largest free visual asset libraries: over 5 million photos, illustrations, vectors, videos, music and GIFs, all released under the Pixabay license that allows commercial use without attribution.

Pixabay is an online community and library that collects and distributes free visual content: photographs, digital illustrations, vectors (SVG), videos, music and GIFs, all uploaded and shared by community members. Search happens by keyword, category, color, orientation and content type, with filters for size and format. The Pixabay license allows free use of any resource for personal and commercial purposes, modification and use in finished products, without needing to credit the author or pay royalties — provided the content isn't resold as stock as-is or used for offensive material. Download happens directly from the site, often without needing an account (though registration unlocks higher resolutions). Pixabay has a historical relationship with Shutterstock, which in search results often shows paid sponsored content alongside the free resources — it's useful to keep this distinction in mind while browsing the catalog. It's part of the Canva group like Pexels.

For designers, marketers, bloggers and developers looking for free images, videos and vectors for personal and commercial use, without worrying about copyright or attributions.

Pixabay is completely free: all assets are downloadable without subscription, with a license allowing commercial use and modification without attribution. Shutterstock sponsored content also appears in search results, which is paid: it's easy to distinguish by the present label. There are no Pixabay-specific premium plans.
