Is this legal? I would expect image libraries prohibit this type of usage in ther TOS. Why would they do all the hard work and then let someone else build a similar service on top of it? Pixabay for example prohibits distributing their content "on a Standalone basis" which seems to be what you are doing when you offer to download the images: https://pixabay.com/service/terms/ https://pixabay.com/service/terms/

  I don't think you can download full resolution Pixabay images from Bing or Google.

    Oh wow, yeah, that is pretty egregious. I thought it was just another indexing/search thing, but there's not really any attribution or anything, just a download button. Yikes.
