Pexels Heroes
The club for people who make Pexels, well, Pexels
Got big creative energy? Ambitions to reshape visual culture? A profile full of pretty work? You’ve come to the right place. Pexels Heroes exists for creators like you who are ready to go further.
Why become a Hero
You share your best photos and videos on Pexels. We see them turning up in billboards, classrooms, and campaigns worldwide. Heroes is the inner club for people powering all those ideas, making the world look really good.

So, how do you become a Hero?
There are two levels to our inner club. Hero gets you through the door. SuperHero is the invite-only next level for creators who embody the creative spirit of Pexels like no one else.
Be consistent
To keep your spot, upload something great once every 60 days.
100 is the magic number
Getting featured means our curators saw your upload and thought, "Oh, that’s good". Do that 100 times and the badge is yours.
Keep the good stuff coming
Share original, thoughtful photos and videos that feel like you. Want to know what catches our curators’ eyes? We made a guide.
