Overall Satisfaction with Pixabay

We use pixabay to save money purchasing stock photos. We use their free arsenal for our marketing material. It gives our brand a professional look to have nice, color coordinated photos. It’s neat how each website has their own set of free pictures that you can scavenge through, and pixabay has a pretty good collection.
  • It has an easy to use interface. The web page is very easily navigated.
  • It is one of the most reputable for free pictures and widely known
  • It is best of all free for a lot of pictures!
  • It could offer more free pictures. I often have to look across multiple sites to get what I want.
  • It could be more variations of pictures rather than one photo shoot.
  • It could offer some kind of artist collective where artists are able to post their pictures.
  • The free photos
  • The ease that you can see pictures on the website
  • The various groups of photoshoots
  • Better branding on our website
  • Higher quality images than we could take
  • Saves us having to do a photo shoot
I think that Fotor is my favorite because of the way it allows the easy editing and collection of pictures. Pixabay is really not as well suited for photo editing but it is still like great resource for free pictures. Shutterstock has better images, but is more expensive. They're all competitive.

Yes

Are you happy with Pixabay's feature set?

No

Did Pixabay live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Pixabay go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Pixabay again?

Yes

If you are trying to save money and have more in your hands, then pixabay would be more appropriate. If you were trying to save time, not money. It takes a long time to find the pictures you need. I would recommend Adobe stock if you are looking to find a picture faster.
