Latest update needs work

By silentwisher on August 12, 2022

Sadly the latest update creates a dashboard message that you can't get rid of regarding usage data submission.

Easy access to thousands of pictures

Finding royalty free pictures can't be easier than this way. Highly recommended.

Works Excellently

By aviket on January 6, 2021

Works excellently and smoothly

Did not see that coming!

By john4jcgm on December 2, 2020

Such a perfect, well thought(how do i say this, the lightbox work you did), fast and simplest plugin 🙂 just a suggestion: I wish there be one like this for unsplash too (or can be incorporated to this) & yes option for size too.

Excellent plugin and responses to suggested modifications

What a great plugin and I don't see any others like it. Since I use this with students in school I asked developer to add the SafeSearch option to the latest release and he did it! Now my students can safely search for images on PixaBay for the featured images I require of them on their posts. Wow!

Do not use with DIvi

By shadra on July 27, 2020

This plugin breaks the divi builder. It took hours of testing to determine this plugin was the culprit, but as soon as I deactivated it, I could once again use the divi builder to build pages on my website.

Worked great!

By brettbum on May 20, 2020

Simple and easy plugin to use. Would like to see an easier to identify 'download' button. This isn't bad, but doesn't look like a button nor a link. Like the auto setting of the title and alt tag, too. (Didn't see it in the documentation but this comes from the image creators details, so if you don't want/like that it will be something that needs to be manually updated/changed later in the media library for each image. Not a complaint, just a heads up.)

Works great - thank you for this

By Kenny Moore (bygosh) on February 25, 2020

I was using a different Pixabay plugin but it stopped working and is apparently no longer supported. I switched to this and it works great. Thank you for saving me! Favoritted.
