There’s one question we get asked quite often: Where can you find free images that are high quality and cleared to use for your blog posts or social media content?
In this post, I’ll share top 5 Sites for Copyright and Royalty-Free Images that you can use in your website, blog, social media accounts or presentations etc. Also these websites not required any login or signup.
1.) Unsplash
Unsplash provides over 1 million free high-resolution images brought to you by the world’s most generous community of photographers.
Unsplash was born from the pain we had in finding great, usable imagery. And we weren’t alone. Which is why, today—millions of creators from around the world have downloaded over 1 billion Unsplash images to create presentations, artwork, mockups, and more.
Is it really free? Yes.
Unsplash is a platform powered by an amazing community that has gifted hundreds of thousands of their own photos to fuel creativity around the world. So sign up for free, or don’t. Either way, you’ve got access to over a million photos under the Unsplash license—which makes them free to do-whatever-you-want with.
2.) Pexels
Pexels is a free stock photo and video website and app that helps designers, bloggers, and everyone who is looking for visuals to find great photos and videos that can be downloaded and used for free. If you see a photo or video you like, simply download it for free (no strings attached!).
All photos and videos on Pexels are free for commercial use. You can use them on your commercial website, blog, product, or anywhere else.
Are the photos and videos on Pexels really free?
Yes! Pexels offers completely free, no-strings-attached photos and videos. If you're impressed with the high quality of the imagery available, it's 100% thanks to the generous contributions from our talented community of photographers.
3.) Pixabay
Pixabay is a vibrant community of creatives, sharing copyright free images and videos. All contents are released under the Pixabay License, which makes them safe to use without asking for permission or giving credit to the artist - even for commercial purposes.
You can copy, modify, distribute, and use the images, even for commercial purposes, all without asking for permission or giving credits to the artist. However, depicted content may still be protected by trademarks, publicity or privacy rights.
4.) Burst
They say something works well when you hardly notice it at all, and that’s exactly what Burst provides. In the same vein as Unsplash, Burst not only provides a sleek interface to explore but a very wide selection of images and categories to choose from as well.
Better yet, it provides both low- and high-quality images without copyright, depending on whether you’re adding images to a website or using images for graphic design.
If you need a vast online repository of free high-quality images, bookmark Burst immediately.
5.) KaboomPics
KaboomPics is a legitimately impressive undertaking. From the UI design to the vast reservoir or stellar images, you will find yourself combing through images you don’t even need.
If it was just about royalty-free images, KaboomPics’ selection would already be top of the class. But it also features both a color picker search engine and color palettes for images as well.
Photos from Kaboompics appear on sites like BBC, CNN, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Yahoo, iSpot, BuzzFeed, Hubspot, The Huffington Post, Lifehacker (Polish: Onet, WP, Eska, Polskie Radio, Antyweb).
Kaboompics is one of the most popular source of free images for lifestyle, interior design and specialized bloggers in World.
Following are the some more websites that provides free images:
- Flickr
- Reshot
So you have many websites options but, I recommend focusing on the one site that most appeals, and browsing the range of copyright-free images available until you find something that appeals.
Thanks!
