Unsplash
I also wanted to add this website. Unsplash is pretty good for getting photos if you don’t have the money to spend or don’t want to spend the cash at the time. It has a nice amount of photos to choose from. However, this site is for photos only. Most of the time you can find something close to what you want. The pictures on this site are professional and copyright-free and you can use them for commercial use.
Pexels
Another site you can get FREE copyright-free images is Pexels. Pexels has an okay selection of photos to choose from. Usually, if you can’t find the photo you need on one website you can just switch to another. These free photo websites are great, they offer professional pics just like the paid site. The only drawback is they have a limited selection to choose from but they are still noteworthy.
Freepik
Another one to mention when it comes to copyright-free pics is Freepik. You can find over 4,000 plus graphic resources here. its a fine place to start if you’re looking for free graphics. They offer PSD’s, vectors, and photos to download for your commercial and personal use. This is one site you might want to bookmark with the rest of the free choices if your just starting out.
Pixabay
Pixabay is a staple for online marketers. It’s slightly different from the other free photo sites, this place offers not only photos but videos, music, and illustrations as well. Pixabay has 1.9 million stock images and videos choose from. Out of all the previously mentioned free asset websites, I would start with this one first.
