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.
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.
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.

My experience has been mediocre. Although I enjoy the free photo options, they're limited and of poor quality overall.
The free options are a nice feature for low income businesses.
The free options are minimal and usually poor quality.

Great software, positive experience! Thank you Pixabay!
Love the options, the pricing is reasonable, its easy to navigate and find just the photo that you are looking for.
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.

Ease of use, no costs and it is integrated with all Affinity programs out of the gate. There is nothing to not like about their platform. The best stock from any cost free provider with none of the "you must pay" garbage the others always try and pull!
I find with SOME assets i look for theres not a ton of options, but for the most part it gets the job done!

My overall experience with pixabay was great as I do a lot of designing work for my business and always need different types of HD image content. All thanks to pixabay that every time I get something useful to continue my work and it never disappoints me. I will recommend it to others also if they are looking for some quality content.
The best thing about this platform is that it provides a huge range of photos of different domains. You can use these high-definition images for multiple purposes like wallpapers, poster making, image editing etc. Pixabay works fine and gives you premium image, video and audio content in just a few clicks that too free of cost.
The website has bugs sometimes when you search for something related to some particular domain on the website it will show that no results are found. The mobile version of the website is even worse it lags every time it opens and sometimes shutdown by itself. Even though the desktop version shows to buy the premium to download a few images it is really frustrating.

I've always found myself quite happy, and between free and premium images I always find the perfect value for money
For years I have been using pixabay to download images to use for my articles and create various projects and creativity on tools like Canva. I almost always find what I'm looking for and I can choose from millions of images and videos
I would like to find more video formats than the current ones, especially for certain specific niches such as the technology and travel sectors

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.
I use the pixabay image bank daily to create art for my company, the application is easy to use, it has many free images, but the paid plan is great value for money
I believe that more free images could be made available, the options are few. Increase free trial time

my overall experience with pixabay is good. I have completed many video editing and photo editing project free of cost with best quality.
Free Photos, Free Videos, Free Illustrations & Vectors, Free Music & Sound Effects
An Overwhelming Amount of Content, Quality Can be Questionable, Annoying Ads

A much needed resource to add value and give you that extra boost to elevate your game up a few notches.
You have a choice to use Pixabay with or without a paid subscription and still be able to find and use quality assets.
The Watermarks - like all other sites. A paid subscription would take away all issues relating to this, other than that, there is nothing to say when everything you need can be found here.
