Beautiful Photos
I can always find what I’m looking for to create beautiful memes for my FB business page.

Disappointing
No instructions, downloads keep failing
2021-05-18
Pexels is fantastic
Better than the rest.
2021-05-09
Love Pexels.
I follow their website but never thought they had an app until I needed to do something with my phone. I needed some pictures to use but downloading from the site wouldn’t give me that nice quality I want since I am using a phone. I tried the AppStore and luckily found it. It’s really inspiring app. No competitor for this app. I wish I could give you the Milky Way instead
2021-04-27
Easy to use!
There are some talented people out there. Here is where you’ll find some of them. Thanks to all who share their work.

2021-02-27
I love Pexels
I write regularly for my blog and it’s so wonderful to have access to so many great photographers and images. I like supporting them too and knowing I can give feedback of how much I love their work.
2021-02-18
Great for content
I Found great content to use to help my brand and music
2021-02-13
Great App
Easy to use him quick beer on your iPhone and I can build stores straight on my phone
2021-02-08
Update isn’t all that great
It used to be easy to download photos to the phone’s photo library—one tap and that was it—you could select the image and set as wallpaper. But now you have to choose the size and no matter which one, the download stops at 83%.
UPDATE: I managed to download a photo to my phone, but where is it? It’s not in my photos, where downloaded images from Pexels used to go.
2021-02-02
Working fine
Problem fixed😉
2021-02-01
Awesome App
This app is really amazing it don’t harass you like other apps with ads or try to make you pay money you can really download a lot of cool backgrounds for free
2021-01-30
Love the new look!
I have to say, wow. I am in love with the new design. I have been using Pexels for quite a while now and I have had zero issues. I don’t see myself leaving Pexels anytime soon, keep up the great work!

Updating original review
Photos now show up in the feed. New layout is still great.
2021-01-27
Love Pexels, but upgrade rendered it useless!
App is now completely unusable as the picture previews won’t load. I have to click on each picture just to see what it is. Restarted iPad Pro, deleted and downloaded the app again. Still not working.

Muy buenos vídeos y muy hermosos sólo buscó mas vídeos con audio bendiciones

Pexel
I am enjoying creating beautiful and meaningful stories by using amazing pictures and videos from Pexel. Awesome contribution from creators and photographers. Very happy to use them in my vlog Pot’s & Prams😊♥️
2021-01-01
Love the concept app update please!
Love the options and search ability,. However there seems to be a issue on app and adding to my wish list it’s not letting me add to my current or new wishlist.

Fantastic
Fantastic content but the app keeps force quitting lately
2020-12-19
Not for me, uninstalled
Sure there were some decent, realistic images, but mostly I found many images trending as:
Too lusty.
Too weird.
Too gross.
Maybe it’s the submitters, but I like other free photo apps better.
2020-12-14
Amazing
I’m starting a course online and needed some stock photos that work well with the content I’m creating. Pexels is great at providing just the photography that captures the right kind of attention!
2020-12-05
I love Pexels!
I’m so thankful for this site and the outstanding artists that submit their photos. The only thing that seems to be missing from the app is the ability to add to collections. It was working and then it’s stopped.
2020-11-24
Love this site and the app
It’s so easy to use, I don’t use anything else. It works perfectly ever time and huge selection for my needs.
2020-11-02
Great photos
Great work!
2020-10-25
App is Crashing
Love the content but the app is crashing whenever I go into an artists collections.
Please research the issue.
2020-10-16
Infuriating
This app would be perfect if it didn’t crash all the dang time! Try to download a video, then CRASHES, try again and it crashes again. Very infuriating to constantly deal with this, hopefully the developers are gonna fix this, seeing reviews very similar to mine going back a year.
2020-10-13
Love Pexels but the app crashes constantly
On an iPad Pro, app crashing every minute or so
2020-10-11
5 stars tool
Maravillosa herramienta
2020-10-11
Too much crashing
I love the vast range of photos available but the app crashes so frequently (once every few minutes) that using it is so incredibly frustrating. If this issue was resolved, I would give 4 or 5 stars.
2020-10-06
Great reference photos
Great reference photos for artists, easy search tool.
2020-09-26
I wish there was Dark Mode support
Great app. I just wish that it supported iOS Dark Mode.
2020-09-22
Amazing
The best app I have used in a long time.
2020-09-17
Overlapping
There is a lot of overlapping with the category titles. And when I try to sign in the screen is half off the screen and I can’t scroll up. So I think something’s wrong with Display positioning.

Me encanta

Dang
Nice royalty free pics and vids

Love it
LOVE THIS APP
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WORK

Great resource, app needs work
The pictures are great, but the app quits constantly during searches. It’s pretty annoying to use, gonna go back to using the desktop site instead.
2020-08-09
SO MUCH POTENTIAL
I came on here to confirm my assumption that this app has a terrible rating and I’m shocked to find that it doesn’t. It has such a wealth of amazing reference pictures but it is so difficult to make your way through them and I am constantly frustrated by the amount of swiping I have to do just to get through a few pictures. FIX UR UX!!! I should be able to click on a photographer and see their most popular photos not just chronologically it’s really frustrating to see 80 pictures of a man in a tracksuit before I get to anything else for the really talented photographer. LOVE the concept hate the execution!!💖🤍
2020-08-04
Amazing- but with one major issue
I love that I can download images and videos straight to my phone to use- it’s like a dream come true! However, the app is super finicky and sometimes it works great, sometimes it crashes about 30 seconds in every time I open it. It can be VERY frustrating but at the same time I love Pexels and the ease of which I can use the media I find there when it isn’t crashing 🤷🏻♀️
2020-07-25
I found the glitch
It is fixed
2020-07-19
Can’t stay logged in
I’ve created multiple accounts, tried Facebook login, etc. Nothing will let me stay logged in. I have time to see a photo or two and then it logs me out and when I try to log back in it will tell me “user not found” or just not do anything at all. Big bummer.
2020-07-03
App Crashing Problem
I love this app! The photo variety and search option makes its easy to find a unique image for your marketing or personal social media. My only problem with this app is that it crashes every few minutes and it makes it really frustrating. Can you guys fix this bug please?!
2020-05-26
Best photography
I live the pics and they help with start ups on a budget! Thanks so much for your service!
2020-05-12
Love that this is an app now
I’ve used the desktop version for years. Only qualm here is that you cannot edit/delete collections. Other than that I love that you can choose size and download directly to your phone. This is my favorite place for stock photos.
2020-05-08
Constantly crashes
Can’t download anything without crashing besides that it seems like it has major potential!
2020-04-24
Awesome!
So i was just trying to find some pictures that were free and boom I found it right in front of me! It is such a great app to get! TRUST ME!!!
2020-04-12
Has a huge democratizing impact on the field of photography
Pexels has the same social, democratizing impact on the field of photography as a Khan Academy has had on worldwide education. Thanks!
2020-04-09
Could be great
I really love Pexels. I was glad to find it. However it's a mess. This app is garbage. It barely works. It crashes constantly and you lose where you were in the search so that once you come back you have to rescroll through all the photos you already saw to get to where you were. Which brings me to the next issue. Half the time it just stops loading. There's no way a broad search like portrait, face, person, has only about 100 photos and then hits a no more to load bar. This app seriously needs work. I never review stuff but man is this a dream come true and nightmare all in one
2020-03-03
Excellent App
Highly recommended it’s an awesome app where you can find great high quality images for free....Thank you for doing this Pexels!
2019-06-27
Artist out there, USE THIS!
I feel like this app has a lot of pictures that would be really cool to draw so I really recommend this app for artists so they get references that they can draw and it’s a really great app and website!
2019-06-16
bug
My device is iPad mini5 and I really like pexels. However, the updated version always quits when searching. It makes me unhappy.
2019-06-15
Latest version fails
Love the app. The latest version allows you to view maybe view a couple dozen photos and then closes down, every time.
2019-05-03
Great resource
Great selection. I especially like the ability to save pics into collections. Very helpful feature.
2019-04-28
The best
This is really the best free photo site there is. Also, the app works perfect and it allows you to access all the main features. I wish there was a way to sort by landscape or portrait!
2019-04-26
Endless uses!
I use this app daily when I’m short on social media content
2019-04-21
Perfect app for photographers and artists!
Perfect app for photographers and artists for exposure, users for beautiful high-quality photos. I have been using Pexels for various art projects and it's easy to access to artist's info so I can leave their info when I use their works. However, since two days ago, Pexels app began to crash when I try to view the photo, it enlarges and turns into complete white screen and I can't interact with an app anymore. Please fix this bug for next updates otherwise, I can't use Pexels anymore now :(
2019-03-29
Doesn’t save
Every time I exit out of the app I lose all the photos I saved and all my collections. I love the website thought great photos.
2019-03-16
Worth the time!
Yes it will take a min to search but free is free! Thanks to the app! Keep the photos coming!
The only downside is not having the video function download. Only for P.C. makes it harder. 5 star once video and photos are available.
2019-03-06
Great place to get out there
I am a photographer and I like to upload my photos on here because it really does help photographers get out there and let others see their vision and what they see. Would recommend for anyone who is looking to get their photos out there!
2019-02-24
Best!
There are plenty of places online to find images but this one has proven to be the best.
2019-02-07
Love!
I love Pexels. I’m grateful that I can get high quality photos for free. I enjoy using them for wallpaper on my phone or laptop.
2018-12-28
Love!
I love this app. Super easy to use and absolutely the best way to get beautiful backgrounds that are free to use. I also use it with my students so they can get professional images for projects without a big hassle.
2018-10-31
Love Pexels, app needs work
I love using the web version of pexels - it’s always my go-to for stock photography but the app is pretty glitchy. The pages don’t scroll fluidly and downloading an image either doesn’t work at all or takes a very long time. Hoping they make some improvements because I’d love to use the app.
2018-09-27
IOS 8 compatible!!!
Thank you for making a free app. Thank you for free copyright version of Flickr! Thank you for being supportive or our work! I love you.
2018-09-26
Great App
I am a frequent user of Pexels and I love to use it for photo manipulation and it’s exactly what I need now that I have an iPad Pro with Affinity Photo. This is honestly the best app to use for beautiful free photos. Love it and use it DAILY!
2018-09-17
Love!!!
Love Pexels! I’ve been using the website for years and I’m very excited that they now have an app. The app is beautiful. Simple and minimal. Easy to use.
2018-09-17
Great Quality Pictures!
If you're looking for great quality picture this is the app you need.
