So, they're partners of SS and presumably also AdobeStock? I checked some obscure subjects I have on iS and happily they're not there, but the ad which popped up said,
"Didn't find the right image on Pixabay?
[AdobeStock logo]
For a limited time, Pixabay users get 30 days of free access to Adobe Stock."
FWIW, I hate these parasite sites too.

Agree on that...see lately how low payments and downloads? Read some post of big contributors dropping IS ND go SS exclusively...seems that for them is a good choice...payments started to grow

Look at this topic not as a new contributor but as a long term contributor who has problems with copies. There is a forum here called Image Sleuth. Read that for a while and consider what it means for a long time contributor (you eventually and hopefully) who wishes to protect his work/copyright and not have it stolen by some newby that copies or slightly alters your personal income pieces. How will you feel when somebody copies your work and tries to make the money instead of you? Maybe somebody takes your work, that took hours to create, and puts it on Pixabay for free! http://www.microstockgroup.com/image-sleuth/

Agree with you. I am a new contributor, I want to develop my skills. My post was a questions related to a discussion on a dinner with other contributor friends. My portfolio is mostly photos....but I found d out t that illustrator is a great program ...developing my skills I can illustrate all my dreams, fantasy's...etc...

I do not agree with solen other contributor work...I do not encourage that ...my question was only a transcription of the discussion with my friends...

Anyway...in a long term, developing and creating a thematic and big portfolio is the key to success..

Having a dilema.
I want to download a vector file from pixabay-free to use in any comercial way, modify it, add some content, and after that submit it to Shutterstock or istock as stock file.

Is this legal?

P.S. sorry for my grammar mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker.
