Find free, high quality photos for your edits, without ever leaving Photopea.
On Photopea, go to Window -> Plugins and search for Pexels. Once installed, the Pexels icon will appear in the sidebar at the right of the window.
A complete guide to installing Photopea plugins can be found on the Lunal Graphics blog.
By default, the plugin will display 50 photos curated by the Pexels staff. Show more photos by scrolling to the bottom and pressing Show More. To add a photo to your document, click on its thumbnail, select a size, and press Add to Document.
To search for photos, type a topic into the searchbar at the top of the plugin window. Search by pressing Enter, or by clicking away from the searchbar.
To view a photo on Pexels, click on the thumbnail, then click on the photo itself.
Contributions are welcome! I have only two conditions:
- If you just want to change the aesthetic of the plugin, make your suggestion in Issues rather than making a Pull Request.
- If you want to make a change which compromises or removes an existing feature, ask me in Issues before making a Pull Request.
- Make sure you continue to adhere to the Pexels API guidelines.
Thanks so much to Pexels for providing the API!
