Pixabay is a website that offers royalty-free images, videos, and music. It was founded in 2010 by Hans-Peter Winkler and Simon Waldherr. The platform provides a large collection of visual and audio content that can be used by individuals and businesses for a wide range of purposes, including commercial projects, without the need for attribution or payment.

The content on Pixabay is uploaded by a community of artists and contributors. Users can search for specific subjects or browse through various categories. The website operates under a simplified Pixabay license, which allows for free use of the content without requiring permission from the creator or Pixabay. This license is generally permissive, allowing for modification, distribution, and commercial use.

Pixabay is a popular resource for designers, marketers, bloggers, and anyone needing visual assets for their projects. The platform aims to democratize access to high-quality creative content. In addition to images and videos, Pixabay also offers illustrations, vector graphics, and sound effects. The website's interface is designed for easy navigation and searching, with options to filter results by orientation, size, and color. Pixabay is owned by Christian Reber, who also owns the stock photo agency Unsplash.
