Pikwizard focuses on free content for both images and videos, with over 1 million assets in total. It has quite a large supply of free assets. You can download the content without having to signup which is a nice feature. You can also download the image straight from the search results with only a single click, so it’s quick to download multiple images.
Account Features
Creating an account gets you access to the template editor. This takes you to a separate site (DesignWizard.com). You will need to check your emails as you will need to set up your account on this second site before you can edit the templates. DesignWizard offers a free and premium subscription. With the free subscription, you can make limited edits such as changing the text and size of the templates. There appear to be no additional benefits of creating an account. You do not get a history of your downloads and there is no way to mark images as favourite images, which are some of the most basic features you get with micro-stock accounts.
Limitations
One annoyance with the site is that there is no way to filter search results. This means that there is no way to remove the ‘Premium’ results that are disbursed through the search results. The site clearly makes money through affiliate links as all the premium content takes you to Adobe Stock. This is the compromise you must make to get free content through this site.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a low-cost solution and can live with no way to filter search results to narrow down the content you are after, then it is worth a quick look to see if it has the content you need.
