The Dreamstime plugin enhances your WordPress workflow by allowing you to download royalty-free and public domain images directly from Dreamstime’s database of millions of free stock photos and commercial Royalty-Free images from within the WordPress Add Media tool. All images are model released and properly attributed so they are 100% safe to use without ever having to worry about model or photographer claims. **NEW in Version 5.0: Full Block Editor Integration!** The plugin now features a dedicated “Dreamstime Image” block that seamlessly integrates with WordPress’s modern Block Editor (Gutenberg). Simply add the block, browse Dreamstime’s library, and insert images directly into your content – all within the familiar block editing experience. **Two Ways to Use:** 1. **Dreamstime Image Block** – Add the custom block from the block inserter for a streamlined experience 2. **Classic Media Modal** – Use the “Add Dreamstime Media” button for the traditional workflow For current Dreamstime users, the plugin is linked to your existing account so if you’ve already purchased an image prior to installing the WordPress plugin, you won’t have to purchase the same image again. New users can quickly sign up a free account at Dreamstime.com. Dreamstime contributors can add their own images to their blog articles without having to pay for them. You can also make money with the automatic Dreamstime referral program integration. Using the automatically generated referral links you will receive 10% of all sales and uploads made within the first 3 years for each user you refer! **Features:** * **NEW: Native Block Editor (Gutenberg) Support** – Dedicated Dreamstime Image block for modern WordPress * Over 357,000,000 free and Royalty-Free stock photos and illustrations to choose from * Insert images and illustrations directly into your posts or pages with ease with seamless Dreamstime account integration * Works with both Block Editor and Classic Editor * 100% safe, model-released images * Image attribution automatically added * Earn 10% referral commissions with automatically generated referral links * Thousands of free stock photos and public domain (CC0) images available * REST API endpoints for advanced integrations ## Screenshots [⌊Editors' Choice Images view⌉⌊Editors' Choice Images view⌉[ _Editors’ Choice Images_ view [⌊Search view⌉⌊Search view⌉[ _Search_ view [⌊Image download view⌉⌊Image download view⌉[ _Image download_ view [⌊Insert into post view⌉⌊Insert into post view⌉[ _Insert into post_ view [⌊Post with image downloaded from Dreamstime view⌉⌊Post with image downloaded from Dreamstime view⌉[ _Post with image downloaded from Dreamstime_ view [⌊Login / Create Account view⌉⌊Login / Create Account view⌉[ _Login / Create Account_ view [⌊Logged in view⌉⌊Logged in view⌉[ _Logged in_ view [⌊Previous downloads view⌉⌊Previous downloads view⌉[ _Previous downloads_ view [⌊Own images view⌉⌊Own images view⌉[ _Own images_ view [⌊Previously downloaded image view⌉⌊Previously downloaded image view⌉[ _Previously downloaded image_ view ## Installation 1.

I have a Dreamstime account and when I first logged in to the plugin page from the blog post that I was writing, the screen it showed wasn't exactly friendly. I tried a search and clicked on a chosen image and nothing happened. There were no details about the image and I wasn't sure what was to happen next. So I exited. I started to rate this plugin rather badly but then decided I should test it again and see what an image looked like on my page, even if it was just one I had previously purchased. This time, I'm guessing because I was already logged in, a slightly different screen appeared. The layout was better and when I chose a new image it actually took me to a screen similar to how it looks on the Dreamstime website. Selecting the image was fine, I could choose the size and see the number of credits it would charge. And after selecting the image the plugin acted very similar to adding media. What I liked most was how the copyright information was added for me. This is always a pain when doing it manually. So, a rating one went to four. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/70ee2a9d5ffa2702d72f58786a707813783f64f3a1baac64986f8d106469697d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[no free images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-free-images/)󠁿 [slawa19](https://profiles.wordpress.org/slawa19/) 17 May 2018 only paid images, requires account ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e43849a580c8572ccc47b8a4d0c240a9a9aca980e96b4a3b68603830b45ee721? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great addition for me](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-addition-for-me/)󠁿 [ferrykirosawa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ferrykirosawa/) 6 September 2017 This is such a wonderful tool.
