Add free stock photos and videos

For: all plans

You can add free photos and video clips to any scene, without uploading your own.

1. Open a scene, and add a picture or a video layer (or click one that's already there).
2. Next to Upload a picture, click Stock photos & videos.
3. Type what you need, like "dentist office" or "plumber at work", and click Search. A picture layer shows photos, and a video layer shows videos.
4. Under the photo or video you like, click Add to scene.

To see more, click More results. To search only one library, click Pexels or Pixabay at the top.

Stock photos and videos are free. They don't use any credits.

Who took it: each photo or clip shows who made it, like "Maria Lopez on Pexels". Click the name to see it on Pexels or Pixabay. The note under the results, like Photos provided by Pexels, links to the library itself.

The credits stay with your movie, too. The movie page lists each stock photo or clip it uses, like "Photo by Maria Lopez on Pexels", under a line like Photos and videos provided by Pexels and Pixabay.

Using them for clients: they're free to use in the videos you make, including videos you sell to clients, and you don't need to credit anyone. Three things to avoid:

• Don't sell or give away a stock photo or clip on its own.
• Don't use a recognizable person in a way that suggests they recommend the business.
• Logos, brands or artwork that show up in a photo aren't covered. Pick another photo if you see one.

The full rules are the Pexels License and the Pixabay Content License.

If it doesn't work: if you see "Stock photos didn't load just now", wait a moment and try again. If a search finds nothing, try a simpler word.
