Overall Satisfaction with Pixabay

I use Pixabay primarily when working with blogging. We strive to have at least 1 image in every blog, but that can get extremely taxing on both your time and your wallet. When I can't find what I want, Pixabay has a fairly good hit rate of getting me something close to the content. Basically, Pixabay is a great resource for images!

  • iStock and from Getty Images
I use Pixabay in 2 scenarios. The first is when I've done a bunch of searching on iStock already and can't find anything. You wouldn't think Pixabay could show up then, but sometimes it hits. The other time is when I'm in a rush and just doing general Google searches for images. Pixabay is regularly on those result pages and gets picked.

Would you buy Pixabay again?

Yes

Pixabay is great when you need an image quickly but don't have access to a premium subscription service. Or, a less likely alternative, you just can't find what you're looking for on stock, and you're looking for one last shot somewhere before coming up with a new idea. It's less appropriate as a primary source of images if you're going to be doing a lot of publishing.
