# Stock photos from Pexels

> How teammates find stock photos for articles, with no key and no setup.

Teammates find stock photos for articles on Pexels. Troopy searches Pexels with its own key, so a workspace connects
nothing, and a search costs you nothing.

## How it works

- A teammate searches Pexels with a few words. The words of each search go to Pexels.
- Each search takes the first photo that is new to the task.
- The photo goes on the task as a file, with the name of the photographer.
- An article with stock photos gets one line of credits at its end, which each save makes again.

The x-article skill puts photos in its draft. The Content writer puts photos in its blog articles too. See
[Write articles for X](/docs/x-articles).

## Limits

| Limit                          | Value     |
| ------------------------------ | --------- |
| Photos of one search           | 4 at most |
| Photos of a workspace in a day | 60        |

The limit of the day keeps the key of Troopy under the hourly limit of Pexels.

## Where to see it

**Settings** > **AI** > **Images** shows **Stock photos**. It is on when Troopy has its Pexels key, with a link to
Pexels, as its guidelines ask. When it is off, it says "Off. This Troopy has no Pexels key yet."
