  Tons of portraits in there, but I see no mention of signed releases?

  Very slick, and fast. But how do they pay for the site? There are no ads and no monetization I could find. The claim 4 billion image views a month, that has to cost them some bandwidth...

    (I work for Canva). Pexels has affiliate ads (to paid stock sites) in specific locations; as an example, when your search returns zero Pexels results. Pexels content is also syndicated to Canva, where it is free to use (under the same license) by several hundred million users. This helps us provide a better Canva user experience, while giving more exposure to work on Pexels.

      Ah. And Pexels is in fact owned by Canva, as is Pixabay. (What is it with Germany and picture-sharing sites?)
