My Favorite

I love this app and website. This is a place for real photographers. I love downloading photos off Pexels for wallpapers, cause it's a safe place to download real photos from real people. No ai photos allowed, but they use ai ethically to auto-tag your uploaded photos. It's easy to upload photos too. Pexels is helping me get back into my photography hobby by having standards, and being completely for photographers unlike social media. It's a great opportunity for photographers to get recognition too, and maybe even get hired for bigger jobs! I would recommend to anyone into photography, anyone who wants great wallpapers, and anyone looking for truly free stock images and videos for anything from building websites to making videos without ai!! I'm a supporter!!
