Pixabay.com is a free stock photography and royalty-free stock media website. It is used for sharing photos, illustrations, vector graphics, film footage, stock music and sound effects, exclusively under the custom Pixabay Content License, which generally allows the free use of the material with some restrictions.[1][2][3] The site's images are allowed to be used for free without attribution, and allowed to be modified and adapted into new works. Pixabay does not allow users to sell or distribute the content as is, use it commercially if it contains recognizable trademarks, or use photos in immoral, illegal, misleading, or deceptive ways.[4]
The overall quality of the photos on the service has been described as "mediocre for the most part"[5] and "variable", but covering a "wide range of subjects."[6] The total number of assets is over 5.1 million as of November, 2024.
