Pixabay image URLs don't work on external sites."<br /><br />Every time someone loads one of your blogposts that has a Pixabay image on it, it fetches the image from the Pixabay server. This takes up bandwidth that, as a free service, Pixabay probably cannot afford, which explains why they have that rule. I have read on other sites that it is courteous to not "hotlink" images from other websites unless it states specifically on the website that you are allowed to do so.<br /><br />You can download images from Pixabay and uploaded them to blogger to post them. Pixabay shouldn't have a problem with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
