= Is this free? = |

Yes, the stockpack account has a free plan and the plugin is free. |
| 72 |

= When will my favourite provider be supported? = |
| 74 |
We are aiming to support all providers that give us api access. However that takes time and we prioritize based on request. Open a support ticket for your provider if one doesn't exist and we will take that into account. If a ticket exists already, add a comment there so that it gets more priority. |
| 75 |

| 76 |
= Can I load images from my own source? = |
| 77 |
We are considering adding Google Photos, Dropbox as well as Amazon S3. Please create a support forum request so that we can see how much demand there is. If you already find a thread for that, please comment on it. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
= Does this work with Gutenberg? = |
| 80 |
Yes, the plugin is linked directly to the media library, so anywhere you could have uploaded an image from the media library before, the plugin will work. However we are going to implement even more direct integrations with Gutenberg, as well as Elementor, Visual Composer, or the like. |

To use it in gutenberg you just use the image block and select the Media Library. |
