Using Stock Images From Pixabay

This feature available on All Plans

 

When you need a stock image for an Image Widget, the background of a container, or anywhere else in your campaign, ShortStack provides you with access to a library of stock images from Pixabay, integrated directly into the Media Selector.

In this example, we’ll walk you through selecting an image to use in an Image Widget. The process will be the same if you’re using the Media Selector for other purposes.

Getting There

To access the Pixabay stock image library:

  1. Click the Image Widget icon in the Add Widgets Panel to add a new Image Widget to your campaign.
  2. In the widget settings window that pops up, click the Select Image icon to open the Media Selector.
  3. At the top of the Media Selector window, click the Pixabay tab to enter the Pixabay stock image library.

You’ll now have access to all the images Pixabay has to offer. Hover over any image to see a tooltip with its dimensions (in pixels) and file size.

If you want to adjust the size of the preview thumbnails, use the slider bar on the right.

Searching for Images

Finding the right image in the Pixabay library is simple:

  1. Use the search box on the right side of the Media Selector.
  2. Type a keyword (e.g., "puppies") and press Enter/Return on your keyboard.
  3. The results will display all the images related to your search term.

Using an Image

Using an image from Pixabay is quick and easy:

  1. Select an Image:

    • Click on the image you’d like to use.
    • You can select up to five images at a time.

  2. Save to Media Library:

    • Click the blue Save to Media Library button in the bottom-right corner.
    • This saves the selected image(s) to your Media Library.

  3. Add to Widget:

    • Click the Media Library tab to switch back to your saved media.
    • Select the newly added image and click the blue Use Selected button in the bottom-right corner.

  4. Finalize:

    • Click the blue Save & Exit button to complete the process.
