A video project can call for anything from clips for a commercial production to footage intended for editorial use. Stock video websites differ in how clips are bought, the permissions attached, and the technical limits available. Compare commercial licensing and editorial footage with license type and maximum resolution to check suitability for your intended use. Buying model, monthly downloads, free-plan availability, and paid-from pricing add access and cost context; API access may be relevant to integrated workflows. Pixabay, Pexels, and ProductionCrate are among the entries, with Adobe Stock and Coverr also named. Weigh the listed terms and specifications against your project’s needs.
26 stock video websites ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
