Pexels is a free stock photos and videos platform that provides access to a large library of high-resolution images and footage. Its core purpose is to offer copyright-free visual assets donated by a global community of photographers, fitting into the design workflow during stages like mood boarding, prototyping, and final asset integration for websites, apps, presentations, and marketing materials. As part of the stock-photos-videos category, Pexels operates on a completely free pricing model with no subscription required for downloads.
Pexels serves designers, developers, marketers, and content creators needing quick access to free, high-quality stock photos and videos for personal or commercial projects. It suits freelancers handling small budgets, agencies producing client visuals, and in-house teams building digital assets, particularly those at beginner to intermediate experience levels working on web design, social media graphics, or video production workflows. Users can track downloads and engage with the contributor community for ongoing inspiration.
