What’s a website without good, quality images these days? Not everybody will read your website content, but they will surely see the images you use.
This doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune on good commercial images. There are many sources of free images that you can use for business purposes.
I’ve compiled a long list of reliable sources of royalty-free images you can use commercially:
It will be nearly impossible not to find that one image that goes well with your blog post or website page.
1. Pexels
They are offering a set of free download images, which you can use freely for personal and business purposes.
2. Unsplash
Not only that they offer many free images for you and your business website, but they have categorised them into different sections, such as architecture or current events.
3. Pixaby
Pixaby is taking it to a new level offering not only professional images for free commercial use, but also illustrations, vector graphics and yes, videos!
4. Burst
Burst boasts more than hundreds of professional free images. What more could you want? You can find many unique photos to make your website stand out.
5. Stocksnap.io
They are offering a large number of free images. The photos look very professional and you don’t have to pay a dime!
6. Canva
If you know me, you know that I have to mention Canva when it comes to content marketing!
Canva is like a simplified, drag-and-drop Photoshop. They also provide hundreds of very good, high quality images which you can also edit straight into the browser.
7. picjumbo
Images on PicJumbo are impressively unique and don’t look much like stock photos. To make it even better, they are neatly organised in collections, such as a Valentine’s collection.
8. Google Advanced Image Search
Accessible to anyone, Google Images search lets you use search filters, to only find images you can use freely for your business.
How to: Search the desired keyword in Google ( Eg. ”cake”) -> select the Images Tab -> Click on Tools button -> Choose ”Labeled for reuse” from the Usage rights drop-down menu.
