Stock photos, videos and GIFs

Search free Pixabay photos and videos or GIPHY GIFs and add them to a post from the editor.

If you don't have a photo or video for a post, search for one without leaving the editor. Photos and videos are free and come from Pixabay; GIFs come from GIPHY.

Add a photo, video or GIF

In the post editor, go to Media and press Add.
Choose Stock photos, Stock videos or GIFs.
Type what you're looking for. The results change as you type. Press More at the bottom to see more.
Click what you want to use. Each pick gets a number showing its order.
Press Add. Coolposts downloads the file and puts it in the post as if you had uploaded it.

Search better

Photos and videos are easier to find with English words.
For photos and videos, pick the orientation: Portrait, Landscape or Any shape.
For photos, filter by colour with the coloured circles.
Hover over a result to see who made it. Videos also show their length.
If you open GIFs without typing anything, you see what's trending.

How many you can add

You can pick several photos at once, up to the 10 files a post can hold. Videos and GIFs are added one at a time.

GIFs are posted as video

Instagram and TikTok don't accept GIF files, so Coolposts adds each GIF as a short MP4 video. In the post it looks and plays the same.
