Overview

The Pexels API is a powerful tool for developers who want to create applications and services with stock photo and video content. It provides access to millions of professional-grade, high-quality images and videos from over 60,000 contributing photographers and videographers. With the API, you can quickly access Pexels' database of images and videos, search for the right content to suit your specific project needs, and add the media to your own application.

The Pexels API provides a great opportunity to create projects that include visuals, and here are some examples of what you can do with this API:

  • Build websites and applications with a more engaging look and feel that appeal to your visitors.
  • Create educational content such as tutorials, webinars, online courses and more.
  • Create ad campaigns and graphics for social media.
  • Create eye-catching presentations.
  • Create custom artwork for blogs, magazine covers and other publications.
  • Create digital products such as video games, e-commerce sites and theme parks.
  • Create movie effects and animations.
  • Create dynamic film and animation projects.
  • And many more!

No matter what kind of digital creation you’re looking to build, the Pexels API is there to support your project!

Anyone with a Pexels account can request an API key, which you will receive instantly.
