“A picture is worth a thousand words” is a popular saying that truer now than ever before. This is why if you’re a content creator, you’ll most likely need FREE stock photos at one time or the other.
Yes, there’s the option to buy, but stock photos can be pricey, especially if you need more than just a few.
Fortunately, there are several places you can legitimately get FREE stock photos. These FREE stock photos can be used on your website, blog, social media posts, and other contents.
Whether you are a Self-Published Author, or a business owner; stock photos help make your message more engaging.
In addition, many sites also offer stock videos, icons, vectors, templates, fonts and much more, for free.
I have listed some of such websites below. You can use these stock photos commercially and with no attribution required. However, some require attribution.
Please read and abide by their requirements. Remember to include the necessary photo credits in your work/blog.
I will be adding more from time to time, as I discover new places. So feel free to check back often. If you know of other places too, please share in the comments below.
Hope you find these helpful.
