Pexels

Royalty-free photos and videos served by your AI agent, powered by Pexels

Your team or customers need high-quality visuals for presentations, blog posts, or social media. Your AI agent searches Pexels' library of millions of free photos and videos, filters by color, orientation, and size, and delivers the perfect asset within the conversation. No stock photo tab-hunting required.

Chosen by 800+ global brands across industries

A visual library inside every conversation

Your AI agent searches, filters, and delivers high-quality stock photos and videos from Pexels, making visual content discovery as easy as typing a message.

Search Photos

A designer asks for nature photos with a blue tone. Your agent queries Pexels' Search Photos API with the keyword, applies color and orientation filters, and returns a curated selection with direct download links. The perfect shot found in seconds.

Search Videos

Your content team needs a short clip for a landing page. The agent searches Pexels' video library by topic, filters by orientation and size, and delivers video files with multiple resolution options. No separate stock video subscription needed.

Browse Curated Photos

When there is no specific search term, your agent fetches Pexels' curated photo feed, updated daily by their editorial team. Fresh, trending imagery delivered directly to the conversation for inspiration or quick use.

Explore Featured Collections

Your agent retrieves Pexels' featured collections, themed groups of photos and videos selected by their team. Ask for 'holiday collection' or 'workspace photos' and get a gallery of related assets organized by theme.

Get Photo Details

Found a photo you like? The agent fetches full metadata including dimensions, photographer name, multiple size variants (original, large, medium, small, tiny), and direct URLs. Complete asset information for proper usage and attribution.

Get Video Details

Your agent retrieves detailed video metadata from Pexels, including duration, dimensions, videographer credits, and all available file versions with different quality levels. Choose the right resolution for your use case directly in the chat.

Use Cases

Visual content delivered on demand

See how teams use Pexels through their AI agent to find photos, videos, and curated collections without leaving the conversation to browse stock photo websites.

Blog Post Imagery Found in One Message

A content writer finishes a blog post about remote work and asks the AI agent for a header image. The agent searches Pexels for 'remote work laptop' in landscape orientation, returns the top 5 matching photos with download links and photographer credits. The writer picks one, adds proper attribution, and the blog post ships. Image sourcing that used to interrupt the writing flow now takes 10 seconds.

Social Media Video Clips on Demand

A social media manager needs a background video for an Instagram Reel about technology. The agent searches Pexels for vertical tech-themed videos, filters for portrait orientation suitable for Stories and Reels, and delivers multiple options with resolution details. The manager downloads the clip without ever leaving their workflow chat. Content creation stays in flow.

Presentation Visuals Gathered During Planning

A marketing manager is planning a quarterly review presentation and needs several themed photos. They ask the AI agent for images across multiple topics, including teamwork, growth charts, and product development. The agent runs separate Pexels searches for each, returns a curated set of images with licensing information, and the presentation deck fills up from a single conversation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the content from Pexels truly free to use commercially?

Yes. All photos and videos on Pexels are free for commercial and personal use under the Pexels license. You do not need to purchase a license or pay per download. Attribution to the photographer is not required but is appreciated and encouraged. The agent can include photographer credits automatically for proper acknowledgment.

Can the agent filter photos by specific color?

Yes. The Pexels Search Photos API accepts a color parameter that accepts standard color names like 'red' or 'blue,' or hex codes like '#FF5733.' Your agent can find images matching your brand palette or design requirements. This works for photo searches only; video search supports orientation and size filters.

What are the API rate limits for Pexels?

Pexels allows 200 requests per hour and 20,000 per month on their free API tier. Each photo search, video search, or detail fetch counts as one request. The agent manages pagination efficiently so that a single user request typically uses just one or two API calls to deliver relevant results.

Can the agent search for photos in specific orientations?

Yes. Both photo and video searches support orientation filtering with 'landscape,' 'portrait,' and 'square' options. Ask for 'vertical photos of mountains' and the agent adds the portrait orientation filter automatically. This is especially useful for social media content that needs specific aspect ratios.

Does Tars store the photos or videos retrieved from Pexels?

No. The agent returns Pexels URLs pointing to the images and videos hosted on Pexels' servers. Tars does not download or cache the media files. When a user clicks a link, they access the content directly from Pexels. Your conversation log retains the URLs but not the files themselves.

What image sizes are available through the Pexels API?

Pexels provides multiple size variants for each photo: original (full resolution), large2x, large, medium, small, portrait, landscape, and tiny. The agent can present all available sizes with dimensions so you choose the right one for your use case, whether it is a website hero banner or a social media thumbnail.

Can the agent access my personal Pexels collections?

Yes. The Pexels API includes a My Collections endpoint that returns all collections you have created in your Pexels account. The agent can list your collections, browse media within a specific collection, and suggest assets from your curated galleries. Pre-approved brand imagery is always within reach.

How are video file formats and resolutions handled?

Each Pexels video comes with multiple file versions at different resolutions, from SD to full HD. The agent retrieves all available versions with their dimensions, duration, and file type. You can request the specific resolution you need, and the agent provides the direct download link for that version.

“Powerful tool - and there's so much more still to explore!”
I love the flexibility of the TARS chatbot design tool. The ability to drop in a new gambit and easily de-link and re-link gambits before and after it saves HOURS of time lost if I had to regenerate from scratch. TARS stands out for its flexibility, consistent performance, and outstanding support.

“Best in class for lead generation”
TARS is an essential tool within our lead gen strategy. I started to use it a couple years ago, and the platform evolved to focus on results. You can integrate your Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and AdWords conversion tag to track results and measure your campaign. You can also integrate with Zapier, which opens a lot of possibilities.

If you are building chatbots, you cannot go wrong with TARS. I have been with this company since their beginning. Seen how they have grown. I have tested a lot of bots, but this one is still the best out there. We use WhatsApp a lot for our business. And what I like best is that I can have 1 chatbot for website and for my WhatsApp. I especially appreciate their support team as well. Whenever I am stuck, they quickly reply to my questions.
