Pixabay 1.0 – Import Free Stock Images into WordPress
Description
Pixabay is a WordPress plugin that helps you find and import free stock assets directly from your dashboard. With access to over 1.6 million photos, illustrations, vectors, and videos, it reduces the time spent searching the web for usable visuals.
Instead of downloading files and uploading them manually, you can search Pixabay using keywords, then import selected items straight into your WordPress Media Library. This streamlines your content workflow in WordPress, Elementor, and other page-building setups.
