Let’s dive into this list of website with free images you need to bookmark in your browser for the next time you need the perfect image without spending a dime. It acts as a digital record for my business. This ensures I have a record of where I got the image from, in case the image was not supposed to be free, which potentially could happen in rare cases. For example, I have a folder on my computer called “Unsplash” where all my photos sourced from Unsplash go. I recommend when you download an image from any of these sites, you check the license to see how you may use it and save the image into a folder on your computer specific to that site. Or a royalty free site, where you don’t need to pay royalties to the owner of the image every time you use it, but you may pay a one-time fee to download. Or use an image within the public domain, which means copyrights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable. Instead, you can source an image from a site that uses creative commons license which ranges from allowing any type of use with no mention of the source, to allowing only certain uses and crediting the source. And you certainly can’t do take random photos from the internet if you plan to put it onto something for sale. I’ve heard horror stories of bloggers charged fines up to $5,000 for using an image without a license. You also don’t want to steal images from social media sites. Those images may require a copyright license to put on your site or social media. We created this list of free resources, because you should never source images from a random online search engine under the “images” tab. □ Art | □□ BIPOC | ♿ Disabled | □️□ LGBTQ+ | ✨ Plus-size | □ Research List of Websites with Free Stock Photos I’ve included some emojis to help you scan for what you’re looking for.
