Security Considerations

While pixabay.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

File Hosting

pixabay.com allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.

User-Generated Content

pixabay.com hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
