How to efficiently use filters

When the results for your keyword are too many, filters help narrow down the selection, while making results more relevant. And when you don't know yet exactly what you're looking for, you can start by applying different filters instead, without using any keywords. This allows you to find new inspiration on your journey towards the perfect image.


1. Activate filters

To display the filter selector, you first need to carry out a search (with or without keywords). To make a blank search, place the cursor in the search bar and press Enter.


2. Combine, add and remove

You can combine multiple filters in the same search. You can also add or remove filters along the way, to further refine your search as you go. In order to refresh the search results, after removing an applied filter, you have to go back to the search bar and press Enter anew.


3. Broaden your horizons

Try more abstract filters such as Concept or Imagery to broaden your views on how to communicate your message! Keep applying different filters and watch the results change, this way you can find the combination that works best for your needs.

What filter options are there?

Photographers

See images from a specific photographer. Great if you've found one with a visual language you like.


Main categories

Are you writing about business, nature, people or perhaps technology? Find images that fit your project by filtering on the subject matter.


Concepts

Are you looking for an image that communicates balance, humour, mystery or curiosity? This is where you filter on more abstract concepts, such as emotions and expressions.


Age

Find pictures of people in a certain age range.


Location

Filter by geographical location.


Numbers

How many people, animals or objects would you like to depict?


Colors

Find images that contain specific colors or have a certain background color. Helpful if you are looking for images that match a graphic profile.


Photo technique & viewpoint

Filter for close-ups, aerial shots, backlit images or images with extra copy space (and much more)!


Color

Choose between color pictures or black and white.


Format

Landscape, portrait, square or panorama - find what suits the project or media channel.
