Overall Satisfaction with Pexels

Pexels provides a diverse range of high-quality, free stock photos. The scope of our use case is mostly for internal documents, as we use professional photography and models with signed releases for public materials. The business problems this addresses help illustrate ideas and concepts in internal presentations to stakeholders more effectively and in a way that will make more of an impact.
  • Search function
  • Budget friendly
  • Diverse selection
  • Support independent creators
  • Surface photographers new to the platform.
  • Better compensation of content creators.
  • More business-friendly photos (less lifestyle/aesthetic).
  • Diverse range of subject matter
  • Easy search
  • High quality photos
  • Better engagement of internal presentations
  • Faster asset decision making
  • Alternative would have been no imagery
Really similar offerings, and we actually use both Unsplash and Pexels. Pexels has a nicer user interface to search through photos, but Unsplash isn't bad, either.

Yes

Would you buy Pexels again?

Yes

It's perfect for internal documents - it helps illustrate the points you're trying to make and helps make things like user personas feel real. I would stay away from using Pexels for any materials that are meant for public/external use since the photographers are not compensated for the usage of their photos.
