FAQ

Questions Pixabay owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I filter specifically for illustrations or vector graphics instead of photos?

    Yes! When using the search_images capability, you can set the image_type parameter to 'illustration' or 'vector' to narrow down your results to specific artistic formats.

  • 02

    How do I ensure I only get the highest quality images recommended by Pixabay?

    You can set the editors_choice parameter to true in both search_images and search_videos capabilities. This filters the results to show only assets that have received the Editor's Choice award.

  • 03

    Is it possible to search for videos and animations as well?

    Absolutely. Use the search_videos capability to find video clips. You can further filter by video_type to choose between 'film' (live action) or 'animation'.
