# Kadence Blocks Pexels Integration

In Kadence Blocks 3.1.16 a new feature was added that allows you to easily search and download images from [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/) (a popular free image source) within your WordPress media library. If enabled you can open the media library modal, and you will see a new tab next to the media library for pexels. Features of our Pexels integration include:

1. Search Pexels image library
2. Single or multi-select images to download
3. Images sized for web
4. Images downloaded with better file names for SEO
