We all know how hard it is to get good free images on the Internet.
A simple Google search hardly guarantees the desired quality, since many images come with the wrong size or have watermarks.
After facing this problem several times, I decided to give you the list with the 11 best sites to get free images. Some of them have free and paid options, while others are 100% free. There are sites to suit all tastes. You just need to check out our list and choose the one that best suits your needs.
Table of Contents
1. PicJumbo
We started our list with this site for two reasons. The first is because his design is really fantastic. The second reason is that the history of this site is quite interesting. It was created by WebDesigner Viktor, who created the site to help his fellow WebDesigners find good images. The site was so successful that it turned out to be a business.
You can use the images of the site for all kinds of situations: presentations, templates, backgrounds, among other options. Despite being completely free it has a paid version, which has a cost of $ 6 per month. With the premium version you receive directly in your email some exclusive images.
2. Freeography
Another site with a simply fantastic design! Every week new images are added that are free of any Copywriting, ie they can be used without any problems. Obviously after that it is important to mention the website from which they were withdrawn …
3. Pixabay
Pixabay has excellent navigation, a search bar and is available in several languages. This same search can be done by “publisher”, by “last photos” or by “most wanted”. In addition to the photographs, Pixabay also has vectors and designs that can be downloaded for free.
4. Compfight
This site does not have the photos hosted on your server, as opposed to all previous options. Compfight does a search for Flickr and Shuterstock to find images related to your search. It’s a bit difficult to find free images on this site, but they do exist, it’s all about persistence.
5. Photopin
Like the previous option, Photopin also allows you to do an intense search on Flickr. However, it is a bit simpler to work with than the previous one, as well as not requiring the user to log in at the time of downloading the image. When doing a search, be aware that the first images are usually paid and have a link with the Shuterstock. Nothing against, but as our focus here are free images, I advise you to always search the second or third line to find free images.
6. MorgueFile
You have some interesting images and they are all free of copyright, which turns this site into an interesting option. However, many of the images do not have the desired quality, and searches are usually returned with a reduced number of options. A website to consider only as one of the last options.
7. Unsplash
Built on Tumblr, this site promises to reveal ten new photos every ten days. The user can subscribe via email to know the news. If you do not want to do so, just go to the website every ten days to stay up to date. The site is very clean and has only one column, where you find the photos and under the author’s name and the download button.
It has no restrictions on use: you can use the images as you wish and well understand.
8. Little Visuals
Another rather minimalist site that has only one subscription bar and one column with the images. Unlike the previous one, which promises ten new images every ten days, Little Visuals will guarantee seven new images every … seven days. Each image also has some associated hashtags. It is a pity that it is not possible to do a search on the site itself for a certain amount. This would help new users, for example.
Either way, it’s worth the experience. Not any copyright limitation.
9. New Old Stock
I believe that after clicking on the link that is in the title you were also amazed by the quality of this site. The New Old Stock has several Vintage-style images and is an authentic relic for those who enjoy this type of photography. We can find images of military, cars and old habits with a quality to envy any iPhone!
This site was created by designer Cole Townsend and has no copyright limit.
10. Death To The Stock Photo
A rather strange website, but its concept is very simple: register your email and every month receive a package with several images to use in your blog, your Facebook posts or anywhere else.
However, the uploaded images are excellent and well worth the subscription!
