Hauptfunktion(en): Image banksEinzelarbeitTeacherStudentWebsites/andere Nutzer*innen
Pixabay is a platform that provides over 4 million free stock photos, illustrations, vector graphics, and videos for personal and commercial use. Users can search for and download high-quality images and other visual content without worrying about copyright restrictions, typing keywords, or browsing categories. Once they find the desired image, it can be downloaded in various sizes and formats for their projects. Pixabay images can be used for different purposes under different licenses and are available immediately without having to ask for author permission. It is free to use and does not require signing up or having an account to download images, but creating an account allows users to contribute to the platform by uploading their own content. Pixabay was developed by Hans Braxmeier and Simon Steinberger. Other similar options are Pexels, Freepik, or Unsplash, but we especially recommend Photos For Class since it is specifically designed for classroom use.
Bewertung: Pixabay is a useful tool for finding suitable pictures, illustrations, graphics, and videos for different purposes.
Kosten: Free without registration.
