Copyright Friendly Images with G Suite Add-Ons



Pixabay.com is a popular website for copyright friendly images.  If you've used it before you know it's a go-to source for finding images...but there's a little work involved:  1) open Pixabay.com in a separate Chrome tab; 2) Enter your keywords in the search box; 3) Click on an image to select;        4) Click the free download button; 5) Click Download; 6) Click the 'I'm not a robot' box; 7) download the image to your device; 8) upload the image to your project.  That's a lot of clicking for one image, especially for younger students who are developing their keyboarding skills.

But there's an easier way!  Pixabay is available as a Google Add-on. Open Google Docs, Click on Add-Ons >Get Add-ons > Enter Pixabay in the Search Box and Select it to make it an Add-On.  Now it will always be in your Add-On list.

2) Enter keywords in the Pixabay search box.



3) Select an image and it pops into your doc along with the image link URL.


And we'll call that DONE!
