Free Stock Images
As any graphic designer will tell you, some projects are not complete until they have a decent photo. Photos of people in different situations or cityscapes can add something extra. Here are our favorite free image sites to browse and enjoy. But designers, make sure you keep a record of where you got each image from for future reference.
1. Nappy
Offering a mix of “beautiful photos of black and brown people” for free, Nappy was founded to appeal to traditional photo sites that were once lacking in diversity. An essential resource for any creative person, all Nappy images are licensed under the Creative Commons Zero Agreement, giving you peace of mind.
2. Moose
Moose promises a “film-scale crew” shooting and brings choices of people, ethnicity, style, fashion, and more. A handy category list and search box help you narrow down what you need. We especially like the background images – lots to choose from.
3. StockSnap
One of the originals and still one of the best, StockSnap continues to expand its most excellent line of free images. It’s always interesting to see which photos are “trending”. At the time of writing, it seems that anything related to beauty and nature is gaining popularity among the creative community.
4. Pexels
A standout feature of our favorite is Pexels, which offers free, royalty-free photos shared by other creators. We love checking the leaderboard to see which users have had the most views of their photos and videos in the last 30 days. This site has a real community, so add it to your list today.
5. Unsplash
Another photo site was developed by a friendly community of photographers, all of whom upload free photos for you to download and use. There are some good options through Unsplash. This might just be our favorite.
6. Free Images
Royalty-free photos by subject, photographer, or even camera – all completely free to download and use for personal or commercial use.
7. Burst
Super feature courtesy of Shopify, Burst brings high-resolution images to your projects for free. From categories like fitness and beauty to business, sign language and nature, textures and backgrounds are also available, so there’s plenty to play with.
8. New Old Stock
This does exactly what it says on the tin: old photos from the public archives, free from known copyright restrictions and to recapture history. You never know when you’ll need a 100-year-old black and white cityscape or portraits from another era.
9. Free Natural Stock
Another royalty-free CC0 resource with a particular focus on nature is photos and videos. Created by Adrian Pelletier, a self-taught graphic designer, and front-end developer. Bring us mountains, beaches, and lakes galore!
10. ISO Republic
Promising thousands of free high-resolution images and videos, ISO is a one-stop-shop for all your visual needs. Have fun browsing the different sections from people and food to travel and animals.
