PicFindr For Mac

Stock image websites are great resources, but they are not without faults. Some include photos that require payment or at least attribution, and they can all be difficult to browse, often requiring an account for accessing some features.

PicFindr is meant to help you find the right stock images without having to browse the websites themselves. It supports Pexels and Pixabay, which only offer royalty-free content. You can instantly search both sources, and then download images or add them to collections.

While you could just use the search functions on the Pexels and Pixabay websites, why do the same thing twice when you can get away with a single query? PicFindr searches the two sources at the same time, and results from both are previewed in the same window.

If you’re trying to reduce the time it takes to find the right stock image, this is a good way to cut out an unnecessary step. You may even prefer the desktop interface, as it’s more minimalistic and has support for Dark Mode.

There are a bunch of categories available for quick searches, and you can even filter images by emotions, which can be useful if you’re looking for something that matches an article’s tone or subject, for instance.

Images can be previewed before downloading, added to collections, and favorited. When it comes to downloading, you can choose between .png and .jpeg, as well as select the preferred resolution. However, it would be nice if we could see the actual dimensions that correspond to a small, medium, or large image, just like we can see on the Pexels and Pixabay websites.

If your job involves finding and downloading lots of images from stock photo sites, PicFindr has the potential to be very useful. It can save some time and help with organizing items, but it’s not an essential app by any means. It all depends on whether the extra convenience is worth the price.
