About

Today, SmugMug and Flickr help photographers of all kinds protect, share, and sell their photos. From casual smartphone shutterbugs to professional portrait artists, we provide the essential tools that photographers need to grow their skillset, their following, and their profits. We want to help people make their photos available to the people who matter to them. Maybe they want to keep a blog of moments captured on their cameraphone, or maybe they want to show off their best pictures or video to the whole world in a bid for web celebrity. Or maybe they want to securely and privately share photos of their kids with their family across the country. Flickr makes all these things possible and more! To do this, we want to get photos and video into and out of the system in as many ways as we can: from the web, from mobile devices, from the users' home computers and from whatever software they are using to manage their content.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Wide international membership; significant (but declining) proportion of photographers vs. just viewers; organisation of photos into subject-interest groups, set up and controlled by members; inclusive of NSFW photos; availability of stats on viewing of your photos (but recently become unreliable); still some community spirit; generally helpful and responsive admins.

Cons

  • Slow and fluctuating loading of pages, especially "notifications"; shift towards it becoming a photo storage rather than exhibition / discussion site; poor layouts requiring scrolling through almost full-size images rather than quickly-loading thumbnail pages; bizarre decision to charge contributing photographers rather than "consumer" viewing members with no on-site reward for successful / popular images; resulting from this, a growing commercialisation and use by professional glamour / porn photographers to market their work elsewhere rather than by amateur enthusiasts who would be delighted with small rewards by the site to recognise their work. (I understand this shift in business model is based on advertising / marketing but it is a big negative from the site experience point of view)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I see that most People reviewing Pixabay are the artists themselves. Apparently, they are trying to get people to come and donate to them. OK, this is my story. I am a Graphic Artist. I was one of the top illustrators on Pixabay. Canva purchased a website where I have approximately 11,000 images where people can download and pay me donations (I receive around $50-300 a day). I have been a member since 2017. Usage of my images as of Jan. 2019 is to add more graphics and text for use. Canva purchased Pixabay in 2019 but when they became very popular in the US, around 2021, they started using our images to give to their website users without asking the artist's permission. They never notified the users in any way. I found my 11,000 of my images this year of 2022 on Canva. I tried to contact Canva via email and they told Pixabay that I was harassing them. I told Pixabay that I would pursue any action I could take legally and they warned me they would inactivate my account. As of May 25, 2022, they deactivate my account without contacting me or taking all my images down. Perhaps what they are doing is legal, but morally they are wrong. They are charging people to use my images without my consent and they are making money off my artwork which many I painstakingly drew. This is a terrible way to treat a small business. So BOYCOTT PIXABAY AND CANVA.
  • Free - Community backed content. Royalty free images, music and videos. Large collection of images. Available online and as smartphone app.
  • I like that they've expanded beyond stock photos to include illustrations, vectors, music, and sound effects as well. The quality of their images are great.

Cons

  • I am not writing pros and cons, just read the bloody review.
  • 0 cons - it is probably the best collection which has surprisingly high quality content for free.
  • There is no good search feature or filters on the pages of their photographers, that would definitely increase the ease of use. Though their images are great, they sometimes they lean a bit more on the artsy side from their photographers versus practical for things like e-commerce, but regardless still great quality.
