Best Stock Video Sites 2026 - Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best free stock video sites?▾
Pexels and Pixabay offer large free stock video libraries under permissive licenses with no attribution required. Coverr specializes in free website background videos. Videvo has a mix of free and premium clips. Free libraries have limited selection in specific niches — premium sites (Shutterstock, Pond5, Artgrid) are necessary for comprehensive footage needs in specialized subjects.
What resolution stock video should I download?▾
For web and social media use, 1080p (Full HD) is sufficient and has smaller file sizes. For broadcast, film, or any content that may be displayed on large screens, download 4K (3840x2160) footage and downscale for output as needed. Always download the highest available resolution in case project requirements change — you cannot upscale lower-resolution footage effectively.
What is editorial-use-only stock footage?▾
Editorial footage can only be used in news, documentary, educational, and non-commercial contexts — not in advertising, product promotion, or any commercial application. Footage containing recognizable people, trademarked logos, or private property often has editorial-only restrictions if model and property releases were not obtained. Always check licensing before using footage in commercial projects.
