Overall Satisfaction with Pexels

I use Pexels to find stock imagery for marketing such as our website, blog, and social media as well as for internal presentation decks. We need a selection of imagery and have a subscription with another stock photo provider but find it's important to have the variety that Pexels offers in addition to the other subscription. We like that Pexels has more variety and more creative imagery than other stock services. We also like how it constantly updates and allows us to support new photographers and artists. We find the diversity to be strong within Pexels' library which is very important to us.
  • Search is very easy

  • Constant fresh content added regularly
  • Diverse results and diverse artists and photographers
  • Different from other stock services
  • The ability to request specific photos or commission projects from photographers would be interesting
  • Image compression with the cropping and resizing options would be great (optimize file size for web)
  • More metadata would be great
  • Search and filtering
  • Constantly fresh content
  • Featuring artist and photographers
  • Creative content
  • Different from other stock libraries
  • Cropping and resizing prior to download

  • New content regularly
  • Faster to find imagery we like
  • Option to download for free or support artist with donation
Pexels has more original, creative imagery from new and emerging photographers from all over the world. Pexels constantly adds new content so there's more variety and less likely we'll use the same stock image as others - we get to stand out as original. Supports photographers and creatives. Search and filtering makes finding what we need easy and there are lots to choose from.

Pexels is great for creative and non-typical stock imagery for marketing and social media. As a B2B company we use imagery to convey emotion, aesthetics, and trust (rather than to showcase a particular product) so having a variety of imagery and constantly fresh imagery to choose from to help us stand out is important to us. Pexels is an excellent resource in addition to other stock photo services to keep our content engaging and different from our competition.

Using Pexels

2 - The users of Pexels at our organization are mostly in Marketing, but we also sometimes use stock images in internal communications and presentations. We have a small marketing department and a couple of employees that volunteer with marketing in their free time to provide subject-matter expertise. We mainly use Pexels for our blog and social media.
