2022 Q2 : Trending keywords

Hello everyone! If you’re familiar with our monthly keyword curation guides, we have an announcement that we would like to update you. Moving forward, we will be posting our keyword curations on a quarterly basis instead of monthly updates.


This means rather than 3 keywords per our usual monthly guide, you will now get all 9 keywords at once from our quarterly post! This gives you an advantage as content preparations and uploads can begin early; hence, increasing your chances of catching download trends.


As an added bonus to our announcement, enjoy these 9 popular topics especially curated for our quarter 2 on the house! *winks

Sandy Seaside

(sand, sandy beach, beach sand)

Not every summer related content needs to be filled with bright multiple colors and maximalist designs. There is a time and place for simple textured backgrounds as well, especially when designers want their content to stand out. Examples of minimalistic summer designs can include a top view photo of soft uneven beach sands, foamy waves reaching the shore, close up of grains of sand and much more.
