Free stock photos and videos for commercial use
Introduction
Pexels is a free stock library for both photos and videos — its free 4K footage (aerials, slow-mo, lifestyle scenes) is the biggest differentiator for creators. Chinese-language search and a friendly interface make it, alongside Unsplash, one of the twin titans of free stock sites.
