Pexels

Pexels is an online service that provides access to thousands of royalty free images licensed under the Creative Commons Zero license. They can be used for any project, even commercially.

The Pexels desktop application offers an alternative method of browsing this vast image library. It enables you to search for interesting photos, like or download them, and it features a very intuitive layout.

There is no shortage of images in the Pexels library, and this program allows you to access them without the use of a web browser. Once you have launched the application, you can either view the most recent photos to be added or see most popular items in the database.

Of course, you can also use the search function to find images based on keywords, and images that you have liked, either in the app or on the website, will be displayed in the Likes tab.

As soon as you find an interesting image, you are probably going to want to save it locally or use it in one of your projects. Thankfully, Pexels allows you to download them with a single mouse click, and you can also send them directly to the clipboard.

However, it would have helped if the application allowed you to view a larger version of the image before downloading it. Also, some users may have wished to set these pictures as their wallpaper instantly.

In a nutshell, Pexels is a well-designed program that you should certainly try if you frequently search for royalty free stock photos on the web. It lets you access the extensive online Pexels library from your desktop, manage your favorites and download images.
