Pros
In general, it is an easy-to-use application, it optimizes my work in creating arts, the images and videos are of great quality, I recommend it to everyone.
My overall experience with pixabay is good. I have completed many video editing and photo editing project free of cost with best quality.
The most appealing thing about Pixabay for me is the clean and user-friendly interface. I also love the vast selection of high-quality photos, illustrations, and videos.
Cons
The mobile version of the website is even worse it lags every time it opens and sometimes shutdown by itself.
An Overwhelming Amount of Content, Quality Can be Questionable, Annoying Ads.
Even though the desktop version shows to buy the premium to download a few images it is really frustrating.

Pixabay is one of the best free stock media.

Reviewed 2 years ago

Pixabay is one of the best websites where you will get royalty-free images, videos, and media. It can be a great asset to any tech-savvy person like freelancers, content writers, social media marketer, designer or video editor. It is easy to use.

Pros

Pixabay is the first choice for my daily stock media library. The media library of pixabay is really great. It offers millions of photos, videos, illustrations, vectors, sound effects, music, and GIFs and it's completely free. If you are looking for copyrighted free media or stock photos, then pixabay is the option for you.

Cons

The downside of pixabay, you wouldn't get stunning quality media all the time. It's okay with me because it's free.

I love Pixabay high quality free videos

Reviewed 10 months ago

Overall Pixabay is the best platform for free images, videos, music and sound effects. I use their videos everyday and I edit them, and I use some of their music and I make sure to read copyrights as some platforms doesn't allow copyrighted music.

Pros

I love the fact that I can download videos and sound effects for free and I can use them for anything as long as I edit them not put them out there as they are.

Cons

The best videos are on IStock and IStick is very expensive, Pixabay should stand on their own without IStock. You have to make sure to read copyrights and now Canva owns then which we can't use certain images the way we want. Canva and IStock are hoarding good quality products from Pixabay and it is not fair.

Mediocre at best

Reviewed a month ago

My experience has been mediocre. Although I enjoy the free photo options, they're limited and of poor quality overall.

Pros

The free options are a nice feature for low income businesses.

Cons

The free options are minimal and usually poor quality.

stunning photo+video bank

Reviewed 10 months ago

Great software, positive experience! Thank you Pixabay!

Pros

Love the options, the pricing is reasonable, its easy to navigate and find just the photo that you are looking for.

Cons

The istock photos are from a third party site, but they "tease" you and show them first. and its a different site and payment plan to get those.
