Overall Satisfaction with Pexels

I discovered Pexels about 4 years ago and have been using it religiously since then. Pexels is a very useful stock image service/website. When we don't have any custom/business-related images or need some simple background filler images I turn to Pexels for their big library of stock images.
  • Large library of stock images
  • Decent size library of stock videos
  • Search feature is simply
  • Great website layout
  • Could expand stock image library.
  • Definitely could expand stock video library.
  • Update stock library in-general (newer images and videos).
  • Offer site exclusive stock library.
  • Offering stock images
  • Offering stock videos
  • Consistently reliable
  • Low investment for a large stock image library.
  • Low investment for a decent sized stock video library.
  • Might not always have something that fits your needs.
I've used both Adobe Stock and Shutterstocks's services for my projects and for the most part find Pexels more useful - but this is only due to Pexels being free in most cases. However, if you're looking for more specific and larger libraries, I would still recommend the other mentioned companies.

Would you buy Pexels again?

Yes

I personally think that Pexels would be suited for most occasions, but if I needed to pick it apart I believe that Pexels would be well suited for situations where a small business is just starting up and doesn't have a ton of images. Pexels helps fill that void with its large library of stock images. If you're a giant corporation using stock images probably will make you look a little amateurish.
