Pexels FAQ
Is Pexels free?
Yes, Pexels is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Pexels legit?
🤔 The Pexels app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I’ve used Pexels’ web site on my pc to download videos before and love it. Since I travel a lot, today I thought that maybe I’ll search the App Store if they have an app. They do! But for some reason I’m unable to download anything, gotten errors and it would not work with Canva through the app itself. Seems like I’m not the only one having download issues.
Great app
10/10!
Stopped working
Great app until downloads stopped working. Gets stuck on 96% and says “download failed try again.” Major bummer.
I tried uninstalling and redownloading to no avail.
Love the app otherwise just wish it worked.
Doesn’t Actually Work.
It’s not possible to download anything. I’ve tried 4 or 5 videos in a number of different sizes and it just acts like it’s going to download and fails. I think it’s a scam app!!
Love
Best copyright free footage that I ever ever seen
Hi everything is excellent, but there are not many videos of bee-eater birds flying in the sky

Download link broken on iPad
The iPad download link does not work on the iPad. What’s the point in using this app?
Quality photo but Poor search result & Buggy app
I really like what Pexels offer both photographers and viewers. But Pexels app for iPad is terrible for a few things: 1) Download is broken as of May 2024; 2) Search results are not comprehensive & when you search for more than one word, the result shows contents of one or the other keyword, never both, despite being very generic keywords (ex. summer night) or using + between keywords; 3) Suboptimal UX - If you do searches one after another, you have to back out of *every single search results page* before you can get back to the homepage. Also, if you press a photographer to browse more of their contents via finding one of their works on general search result, then select another work of theirs from the photographer’s page and go back to browse more of that photographer’s page, it will just take you back to the general search content. This means you have to click on the photographer’s name AGAIN, go to their page AGAIN, then continue browsing.
Great app
App is great
Inappropriate
The fact that I just seen some inappropriate things being searched and browse from this app made me feel very disgusting made me feel the wrong way. It made me think really really badly of this app. I want to report.
