# How to Add a Slide From Pixabay

MetaSlider lets you add a free photo, illustration, or vector from Pixabay straight into your slideshow, without leaving the slide editor.

## How to Add a Slide From Pixabay

1. Open the slideshow you want to edit, then click 'Add a new slide' above the slide list. In the window that opens, click 'Pixabay Library'.

2. Use the search box, or the type dropdown ('Photos', 'Illustrations', 'Vectors', 'All types'), to find an image, then click one to select it.

3. On the right, set the 'Title', 'Caption', 'Alt Text', and 'Description' for the image, and choose its 'Quality' — 'Preview', 'Medium', or 'Large'.
