We've made it easy to show your gratitude.
After you download a photo or video, you'll notice a "Say Thanks!" window where you can do any or all of the following:
- Donate to the creator
- Follow the creator on Pexels
- Follow the creator on social media
- Copy the format to give the creator credit wherever you use the photo or video
If you miss this window or decide you want to thank the creator at a later time, you can visit their Pexels profile to donate, follow, or even send them a nice "thank you" message.
For your convenience, the creator's username is always included in the filename of the photo or video you downloaded from Pexels.
Giving credit to a photographer when you use their work is always appreciated, but not required.
Donations you send go directly to the creator* and are not handled by Pexels.
*Payment platform fees may be applied.
