About
With the Pixabay plugin, you can search millions of free, high-quality images and videos on Pixabay and add them to your slides.
Everything from Pixabay is royalty-free, so you don’t have to worry about who owns the rights. Photos and videos you find on Google or elsewhere on the internet may be protected and therefore not free to use. Pixabay works like Unsplash and Klipy.
Get Started

Options
Options for Photos
- Layer – Move your image or photo up or down your layers
- Rotate – Change image rotation on the canvas
- Position – Change the position of the image
- Opacity – Change image transparency
- On click jump to – Assign a slide that is played when the user clicks or taps on the image. It works like the Button plugin.
Options for Videos
- Set slide duration – Change the slide duration according to the video length
- Muted – Plays video without sound
- Always on top – By default, the video will be rendered on top of other elements for smoother playback.
- Yes – This option is recommended for all entry-level players as they can struggle when having to render the entire canvas for every video frame.
- No – Video will respect the layers and other elements can be moved on top of the video. This requires a mid-level player as the entire canvas has to be rendered for every frame of video.
- Yes (native) – This option will be the default for 4K videos. On Android devices it launches Android’s native video player at the position of the video; non-Android devices behave the same as with the Yes option.
- Positioning – Change the position of the video (or simply drag and drop it)
FAQ
What content do I find on Pixabay?
Pixabay offers free stock videos and images. In videos, you will find short movies (called films), usually under 60 seconds long, on many themes. You will also find animations: short animated videos made from photos, drawings, etc. In images, you will find photos, illustrations and vectors.
My Pixabay video is showing a striped image instead.
If Pixabay servers have trouble loading the thumbnail for the video in the editor, they return a placeholder image instead. Don’t worry: the actual video will still play in the preview and on your player. Only the video’s thumbnail did not load, and the thumbnail is only used in the editor.
