Are you looking for free stock photos for your Instagram feed? Photos you can use when you don’t know what to post? Or when you need to fill a gap in your Preview feed?

That’s what the “Explore” feature is for.

Preview App now integrates the fantastic community of photographers from Unsplash.

How does it work?

  1. Select “Explore”
  2. Search by category
  3. Search by keywords
  4. Add a photo in your Preview feed

1. Select “Explore”

  • Tap the “+” button
  • Select “Explore”

You will see the latest photos that have been uploaded by photographers from all over the world.

2. Search by category

You can search photos by categories.

There are 6 main categories: buildings, food & drinks, nature, objects, people and technology.

  • Tap a category to see the photos in that category

This is a broad way to search for photos.

3. Search by keywords

If you’re looking for something very specific, type in your keywords in the search bar.

For example: pink sunset.

4. Add a photo in your Preview feed

To add a photo to your Preview feed:

  • Select the photo
  • Press “Add”
  • And “Done”

The photo will be added to your Preview feed.

Quick tip: You can continue to browse and add as many photos as you want. When you are done, simply tap “Done”.

2 quick tips:

Select the arrows icon to see the full photo before you add it to your feed.

Tap on the photographer’s name to see other photos he or she took. You might like other photos taken by the same photographer and add them to your feed too.
