Free Stock Photos

Unsplash

Unsplash provides ultra high quality, 100% free for commercial or personal use photos across almost 100 categories. It is our go to site for free stock photos. Unsplash’s database is easy to search and allows for one click unlimited downloading, no email address or personal information needed.

Pexels

Another amazing resource for free stock photography is Pexels. We love how their homepage shows the most popular photos for the past 30 days and also provides you with a list of the most popular searches. All photos on Pexels are licensed under a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license meaning you can use them completely free for any legal purpose.

Pixabay

Pixabay boasts an impress library of over 1,000,000 royalty free stock photos, vectors & videos which you can make use of FREE for your projects. We love the vector graphic, illustration & video sections along with standard stock photography.

Magdeleine

Magdeleine is truely unique on this list because every one of their FREE stock photos was hand picked to appear in their directory. This has resulted in a beautiful web gallery of photos. Use you arrow keys to toggle pages of fresh stock images and sort by primary color or categories. One thing to note is that some photos on Magdeleine have a license that requires attribution to the author (this is easily seen on any given photo.)

Free Images

Based out of Germany, Freeimages.red offers a unique collection of just under 5,000 FREE stock images. While this is one of the smallest FREE photography websites we reviewed we found some images here that wern’t on other websites.

Gratisography

Gratisogrpahy is a collection of royalty free stock photographs for use in personal and commecercial projects. All photos on the website were taken by Ryan McGuire which makes this collection different from many of the other aggregated photo databases. New pictures are added every week and are always HD quality and totally FREE.

Life of Pix

While Life of Pix offers hundreds if not thousands of high quality FREE stock photos, they are also particularly attractive to photographers. This is due to the fact that the website is structured to be a sort of social media for photographers. Every week a new artist is chosen to have their work featured on the site. This attracts new photographers who want to share their work and build their reputation while giving you access to the best FREE stock photos online.

Realistic Shots

We found Realistic Shots to be of particular use for background photos. Their most popular categories are architecture, nature, people, travel & technology. Seven new photos are uploaded every week meaning that only the highest quality photos make the cut for you to download and use totally FREE. While Realistic Shots is one of the smaller stock photo databases we reviewed, it is one of the best.

FREE Stock Photography Resources

Stunning HD stock photography is a key component for beautiful websites, graphic design or online advertisements.

We scoured the internet for the best free stock photo resources. The resulting list contains millions of unique photos, vector graphics, illustrations & videos all of which are available to you for free legal use.

HD stock photos lend themselves wonderfully for background images and slider backgrounds, as well as providing a base upon which to add text or other copy. We took every effort to ensure that we only recommend stock photo databases with Creative Commons Zero (CC0) licenses, meaning that you can use as is or edit any of the pictures downloaded from these resources. That being said, Bookmarkbro.com does not take responsibility for breached licenses and it is the end responsibility of the user to verify the license and legal requirements for any photo that they wish to download and use in any way shape or form.
