What do you like best about PixaBay?

It has a great filter which I can refine my searches not only by keywords but also by size, orientation, color, among others. And no matter whether I'm looking for images, sound effects or videos for my university presentations, there's always something perfectly suited for the purpose. The visual quality of the files offered by Pixabay is amazing and there's a selection of copyright–free resources to use with peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

It's possible that some images or videos are found in third party projects, detracting from the exclusivity of the materials but considering that Pixabay is free this is a minor observation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PixaBay solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Pixabay on a regular basis to nourish my educational materials, from presentations to visual resources in classes and research projects, and it doesn't take me long to find the materials I need so I can optimize my time and spend fewer hours searching.

What do you like best about PixaBay?

Getting a huge library of stock photos and videos on one website is one of the best features that I liked about Pixabay. Also, they have their software available on the Play Store which makes the accessibility of content even faster and easier and these all stuff can be handled from any corner of the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PixaBay?

Mainly they have no integration with some of the premium photo editing platforms like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator so it becomes a leanthy task for us users to download the photos from Pixabay and then export them to other editing platforms to get desired results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PixaBay solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used multiple stock photos websites but the quality of photos and videos with pixbay has is out standing and you will never get such a premium collection of videos content and high definition imgaes anywhere in other platforms that to free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
