About Pexels
Pexels is a website for free stock photography and stock footage. It was established in 2014 by the two German entrepreneurs Bruno and Ingo Joseph. Currently, this firm is a subsidiary of Canva. It goes under the name Pexels GmbH, and its headquarters are located in Fuldabrück, Germany.
Pexels offers free pictures and video clips for those who seek some easy-to-find visual materials. This firm has such services as Pexels Stock Photos, Pexels Stock Videos, Pexels Mobile App, and the Pexels API. These resources are utilized by designers, bloggers, content creators, and common individuals who require free visual images and videos for any business or non-business purpose.
The characteristic of this resource is that it provides people with royalty-free images and videos under the custom Pexels License, and attribution is unnecessary. Also, it has been integrated into the Canva design tool due to the acquisition of Pexels by Canva in May 2019. Pexels exists as a free public website that gets revenue from ads and referral commissions from databases of paid stock content.
Pexels operates worldwide and in many languages.
