Hey Friends wassup..!! Today I’m here to give you the list of top 10 awesome sites to download free stock photos. Many of my friends were telling me to make a post for them on best places to get royalty of free stock photos for their websites. There are lots of stock photographywebsites available on internet but trust me only few of them are having free images for commercial use rest of all websites may charge us to get stock photos or if they are not charging then the quality of their pictures are not like that what we want.
Photos are the very first need of any website and the quality of photos really matters. Photos are the only way to attract users on our website and to rock our first impression and we all have heard that first impression is the last impression. So in one line we can say that we need best royalty free stock photos to use in our website.
But for god sake now we have royalty free stock photography sites which gives us royalty stock photos for free and for commercial use.
What about Licenses?
You must be thinking of images license. There are few types of licenses these images have like few of them license doesn’t allow us to downloads the images and few of them allows us to download the images but we can’t use these photos for our commercial use and some of them allows us to download the photos and use them for our commercial use but without editing them. But we want the stock photos which we can download freely and edit it and the use it in commercial work (in our blog) all according to us.
These types of photos are licensed under creative commons public domain dedication which means we can download and edit photos and can use for any purpose even without asking any type of permission. The photos in the sites which I’m suggesting you to download free stock photos are licensed under this creative commons public domain license, but still we want you check the sites terms and conditions before using their photos for the safer side.
Now let’s directly come to the point, best places to get free stock photos –
