About Pexels

Pexels was founded in 2014 by Bruno Joseph and Ingo Joseph in Germany with a mission to make beautiful, diverse photography accessible to everyone. The platform stands out for its human-curated approach — every uploaded photo is reviewed by the Pexels team before being published.

Canva acquired Pexels in 2019 alongside Pixabay, cementing both platforms as pillars of the free stock media ecosystem. Today Pexels hosts over 3 million photos and videos and is widely used by designers, marketers, and content creators who value quality and inclusivity in their visual assets.
