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 license, which generally allows the free use of the material with some restrictions.[1][2][3] You can use the site's content for free without attribution, and modify or adapt it into new works. You cannot sell or distribute the content as is, use it commercially if it contains recognizable trademarks, or use it 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 number of images and other creative assets is around 2 million in 2024.
