Search Stock Media is photoaicompany's doorway to millions of free stock photos and videos on Pexels: type a keyword like “mountain sunrise” or “espresso pour”, choose photos or videos, and get real results with photographer credit — ready to drop onto any canvas with the add-image tool.
Current status: not configured yet. This site preview has no Pexels API key, so the search can't run here. The feature is fully registered and the form below is the real one — but submitting it shows an honest “not configured” panel instead of fake sample results. Nothing on this page pretends to be stock media that isn't.
Once a Pexels API key (free at pexels.com/api) is added to the photoaicompany deployment, this page lights up with live results: thumbnails, photographer attribution, and one-click placement onto your designs. Your own uploads work today on the upload-asset page.
How it works
Type search keywords — the more specific, the better (“golden retriever puppy” beats “dog”).
Choose photos or videos.
Click Search stock.
Today you'll see the honest not-configured panel. With a key in place, results appear with photographer credit and one-click add-to-canvas.
Tips
Pexels licenses are free for commercial use, but photographer credit is good practice — results will include the attribution.
Specific multi-word queries return far more usable results than single generic words.
Need imagery right now? Upload your own files on the upload-asset page — no key required.
What it costs
Free on this site — and it can't be metered. Search Stock Media uses no AI and runs entirely in your browser: no usage counters, nothing sent to our servers to bill. When credit metering arrives in the app, local operations like this one will never consume AI credits — only server-side AI generations will.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't the search return results?
It needs a Pexels API key, which isn't configured in this site preview. The tool reports that honestly instead of showing fake results. The key itself is free at pexels.com/api.
What will results include once it's live?
Real Pexels photos and videos matching your keywords, with photographer credit, preview thumbnails, and a direct path to place them on a canvas via add-image.
Is Pexels content free to use commercially?
Yes — Pexels media is free for commercial use under the Pexels license. Attribution isn't required but is appreciated.

Search Stock Media techniques that look professional
Four field-tested techniques, each shown on real photography. Steal them all.
Steal structure, not style.Borrow the layout logic you admire, then dress it in your own voice. Keep this in mind every time you open Search Stock Media.
Finish means exported.A design in the editor is a draft; shipped is the only done that counts. Inside Search Stock Media, this single habit pays off fast.
Document the decisions.Note why the palette, type, and layout were chosen — future-you inherits the reasoning. Make it part of your Search Stock Media routine.
Design the system, not the page.Styles, spacing, and components that repeat become a language — speak it fluently. Search Stock Media rewards this discipline more than most tools do.
Avoid the traps
Three mistakes to avoid with Search Stock Media
✕
Centered paragraphs
Centering suits headlines; long centered paragraphs tire the eye. Fix: left-align anything over two lines.
✕
Five fonts in one design
Every extra typeface dilutes the message. Fix: one family, up to three weights — restraint reads as confidence.
✕
Everything emphasized
Bold, color, size, and underline on the same words cancel each other out. Fix: pick one emphasis per element.
