"One solution for all digital needs."
4.5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

Pixabay is a digital platform that provides lots of high definition images, posters, and illustrations free of cost. It works on the web version and can also be used on Android devices through its own app. The platform has a huge variety of photos belonging to different categories, which is the best part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

I have noticed that the app developed for the platform doesn't work as smoothly as the web version and even sometimes it gets closed by itself. I have also noticed that Pixabay lacks photos of a few categories, which is a little disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing collections of images"
5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

Pixabay has an amazing collection of images in HD. It has various categories. I can find anything here. We have integrated Pixabay with our tool, CloudSocial, which helps the client to find images of each and every situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

As of now I didn't have any excuse for disliking Pixabay but I have a suggestion for Pixabay, it's better if they also provide an editing option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform to download some HD wallpapers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

Pixabay is one of the best platforms to download some of World class HD photos and wallpapers of almost any domain. The best part is it gives you everything free of cost and doesn't charge a single penny from you. All the photos are mainly used for animation and designing and you can use them for any purpose you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

There are some types of photos which you won't get on pixabay then you might have to take the help of another platform. As it has good stuff but you will not get everything on this platform. They have also an app for the platform which doesn't work well and stuck while working. They need to remove some bugs of the app as the web version is better then the mobile version.

"Don't pay for photos."
5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

It's so perfect because I can just use any photos for websites that catch my eye for free. I also use Pixaby for the wallpapers of my PC and the thing that excites me is that there are hundreds of thousands of Photos to choose from. And the UI of Pixaby is so much eye comforting.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

I don't like anything about Pixaby because it's perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time-saving image searches"
5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

PixaBay is a great resource, for those who upload their work to get their name out there and for users who need royalty-free content that can be used for commercial and editorial purposes. There are of course other similar websites for sharing and getting media, but what stands out about Pixabay and what I like about it is that I can customize my image search options. I can choose to search for photos, vector graphics, illustrations, or search all of them by selecting images. Depending on my design style I often specifically need a photo or an illustration. If I need an illustration I will not have to scroll through photos that I will not use. Thus Pixabay saves me time when looking for images by allowing me to specifically select to search through only what I need and not everything else. Other categories that one can choose to search include videos, music, sound effects, and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

There is nothing that I dislike about Pixabay. The only thing I picked up having used Pixabay for about five years now is that some pictures don't stay on the site forever? This is not a big issue because chances are you'll find what you need in the available pictures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pixabay is such a great source for images and video"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

The upsides are that when you look for free images, you find things different than what you find on Canva or simply googling free images. The photos and videos themselves look much more professional, which most people want for their business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

That the free version only lets you do certain photos. Sometimes when I put in a category, there is nothing in the free section and then I have to look further on the web to find the exact niche photo I'm looking for. It seems like the free version could be more, especially if the creators are not charging anything for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High Definition photos for official use"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

The platform is great for downloading high-definition photos which can be used for multiple purpose projects like poster making, graphics designing etc. The best thing about pixbay is that it is free of cost and supports Android devices with an app and also works great on the web version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

Although the platform is great but the app developed for pixabay is full of bugs and needs to be improved a little bit. Sometimes the images which you will search on pixabay will show no results found which is a bad experience for the user. Also, the app version crashes by itself and stops working after every one week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Place for Royalty-Free Illustrations, Vectors, Videos and Audios"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

When it comes to finding high-quality, royalty-free media like Audio, Video, Illustrations, or Vectors, Pixabay is what you need. It also has a lot of free stock images so that's a plus point too. I love that it is an open community and that everyone is allowed to upload their own media and this is why you can never run out of high-quality media to use in your social media posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

The userbase is a bit smaller than other free stock photos sites like Pexels but since Pexels doesn't have royalty free music, videos and illustrations, Pixabay makes up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best portal for Free Graphics Stocks"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PixaBay?

The best thing about Pixabay is that it is Free! It offers millions of stock graphics free for personal and commercial requirements. Along with the Stock graphics, they also provide soundtracks and stock videos as well. Pixabay offers a diversity of stocks, as their contributors are distributed around the globe, so we could easily find some of the relevant stock graphics or videos. Last but not least, its portal and apps are straightforward to use and integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

Pixabay considers focusing on professional graphics instead of just random photos. It is not guaranteed that stock relevant to our requirements would be found here. They might also consider working a little bit more on their search algorithms as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
