2 Free Digital Tools To Find Quality Stock Photos
A picture's worth a thousand words... Find some great ones you can use for free.
Hello!
It’s an every-other-Tuesday. You know what that means? Free Digital Tools!
Know anyone who might appreciate what we’re doing here? Invite them to join us! As you know, we’re all really nice, and cool, and we all LOVE free digital tools!
Unsplash
Tool type: Website
Need a high-quality stock photo for social media, a blog post, a landing page or… whatever?
Head to Unsplash and start searching.
They have loads of photos and graphics you can use for free.
Once upon a time, everything on the site was free to use. Then they got bought by Getty. I braced for the worst.
Getty does try and sell you photos through the site (that is, after all, their business model). But there’s still plenty of quality free stuff to choose from.
I’m not a lawyer (like, sooooo not a lawyer), so I recommend reading their terms of service closely before using anything in their database.
But for their free artwork, they request (but don’t require) you to give credit to the artist.
And that’s it. Grab your perfect shot and go.
Here are a few fun ones I found while pulling this together:
So many to choose from!
Enjoy.
FREE or FREEmium: FREEmium
Like I said, lots of free stuff to use. Or you can subscribe to Unsplash+ and get access to a whole lot more. Price is $7/month if you pay for a year upfront, or $20/month if you pay as you go.
Round Up Of Diverse Stock Photo Sites
Tool type: Blog post
Unsplash is great. But if you are looking for more diverse photos, it can be helpful to have more options.
I put together a blog post a while back rounding up 10 Diverse Stock Photo Sites.
Bookmark the post (or the sites) so you have them when you need them.
These sites focus on people of color, body liberation, the gender spectrum and more.
Hope it’s a helpful roundup.
FREE or FREEmium: FREE
My blog post is free (of course!). All of these sites have free photos. Some charge, some don’t. But hopefully you can find plenty to choose from.
Who’s ready to get their pic on!
If you like Free Digital Tools, you probably know others who will too. Invite them to join us. They’ll appreciate it… as will I!
See you in a fortnight,
