7 BEST PLACES TO FIND FREE STOCK PHOTOS

By Abubakar Mohammed
Published 3 days ago


There are millions of free stock photos if you know where to look for them


Readers like you help support Android Police. When you make a purchase using
links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Read More.

Whether it's wallpapers for your Android phone or pictures for marketing
professionals and new website owners who don't have the time to click great
images, stock photo websites contain all kinds of images. However, many stock
photos are expensive to license, which could be difficult to deal with if you're
just starting as a content creator or establishing a business. There are many
alternatives to paid stock photo websites. In this roundup, let's look at some
of the best places to find free stock photos.

The websites mentioned below offer free, unlimited stock photos licensed under
CC0 (Creative Commons Licensing). However, keep an eye on the details of the
images while browsing websites other than the ones mentioned below, as some may
require you to give image attribution or may not be free for commercial usage.

OUR TOP PICKS FOR FREE STOCK PHOTOS

From nature to street photography, food, fashion, and technology, these websites
have you covered. If you're a photographer, you can upload photos to showcase
your portfolio.


1. PEXELS



Pexels is the go-to website for everything stock photos and videos, where you
can download free, unlimited high-resolution stock content without signing up.
Although, it might be a good idea to create an account to like or collect your
favorite images for later use. Also, if you're a photographer, you can
contribute and showcase your work for free.

Overall, Pexels' vast library of photos and the platform's simplicity make it
one of the best places to find free stock photos. The platform is available on
Android, iOS, web, as a Chrome extension, and more. Besides, all photos on
Pexels are free to use and don't require attribution.


2. UNSPLASH



While Pexels is better for individuals and small businesses, Unsplash is geared
toward more serious companies and individuals wanting to establish their online
identity. For starters, the search filters help you find the exact form factor
and color you're looking for in an image. Besides, Unsplash's premium membership
Unsplash+ gives you access to more stock photos and, more importantly, enhanced
legal protection for $4 a month, billed annually.

Like Pexels, Unsplash also has collections to save your favorite images and
allows you to upload pictures to show off your portfolio.


3. PIXABAY



The image library at Pixabay may not be as comprehensive as the websites
mentioned above, but the platform makes up for it thanks to music, GIFs, sound
effects, and vectors categories. It has a few more filters than Unsplash, such
as the ability to sort by published date and image size.

All images on Pixabay come under the CC0 license (Creative Commons license),
meaning they're free for personal and commercial usage, and no attribution is
required, although appreciated. Overall, if you're a YouTuber or in a marketing
team that makes pretty vectors using GIFs and text, Pixabay will make your work
easier.


4. KABOOMPICS



If you're a minimalist, we're sure you'll like Kaboompics. While the website is
absolutely eye candy, its photo library is limited. The image categories are
listed below the search bar, and the orientation options are located in the
search bar. Plus, the website allows you to sort by newest, featured, and oldest
pictures.

There's also an option to filter images by a dominant color, which could be
great for finding images that complement your website's UI or content.


5. STOCKSNAP



Like other websites in this article, StockSnap has a decent collection of stock
photos, all with a CC0 license. The top section of the website houses categories
and trending images to help you browse and pick the right photo for your needs.

While StockSnap's photo library isn't as comprehensive as Pexels or Unsplash,
you could treat it as a place to find photos that may not be available on other
platforms.


6. NEGATIVESPACE



The name may give off a negative vibe (no pun intended), but NegativeSpace is an
excellent platform for exploring stock images. It has, by far, the most number
of categories out of all platforms on this list, and the photo library is quite
broad compared to StockSnap.

However, if you're a photographer, you're out of luck because the website
doesn't allow you to sign up and start uploading your work quickly.


7. FREEPIK



The filtering options at Freepik make it one of the easiest platforms to work
with. However, one of the biggest cons is that you need to credit Freepik, even
when the platform explicitly mentions that the images are free for personal and
commercial use.

Apart from free stock images, you'll find free vectors, icons, fonts,
illustrations, and templates for social media, making it an excellent platform
for people working in social media marketing.





SAVE TIME AND IMPROVE VISIBILITY USING FREE STOCK IMAGES

Starting a website, creating content, or copywriting is easy. What's not easy is
finding pictures that grab people's attention and make them click and read your
content, and that's where great stock images come to the rescue. A great stock
image from one of the websites mentioned above can garner people toward your
work for free.

While most don't require attribution, if you have a knack for photography,
smartphone cameras have become so much better over time that it's easy to take
awesome photos with your smartphone with a few tricks. Likewise, editing brings
out the best in photos, and many great photo editing apps can help you achieve
great results.
