Guide: Best Websites For Free High-Quality Stock Images
We are all well versed in the usual suspects of online stock photo curators, with major players like Flickr, iStockphoto and Creative Commons searches. But when it comes to high-quality stock photos from any of the major sites, things get complicated very quickly. There is the question of legality and price. And many websites don’t even help you bypass the terms and conditions. The services we are going to talk about today are different. These are no-frills websites that provide you with great, high-quality stock photos that you can use however you want. No obligations.
1. Unsplash
Unslplash is a no-splash website that posts 10 images every day, which are completely free to use. You can subscribe to their site to get a new set of images every day.
2. Small images
Little Visuals will send you 7 high-quality images, beautifully wrapped up every 7 days in your inbox. You can visit their website to get an idea of what kind of images to expect. These guys are very picky so you will only get the best images.
3. Death to stock photo
Death To Stock Photo is an up and coming site that got a lot of attention in the press lately. But until these guys are ready to go primetime, they send high-quality images to their subscribers every month. I am a subscriber so I can vouch for their quality and diversity of images.
4. Pic Jumbo
Pic Jumbo is more feature-rich compared to the sites listed above. New photos are added every day and provided with a relevant description. The category view is also useful.
5. The pattern library
Lively is the only way to describe The Pattern Library. The website itself is beautifully designed. All you will get is a patterned wallpaper spread all over the browser window. You can scroll down or up to scroll through the patterns. Download options are available on the left, and you can activate the grid view (which also looks great) from the right.
6. The old stock
The Old Stock is a minimal Tumblr blog to discover old and vintage photos for your project.
7. Freeography
Gratisography is another website that gives you free high-resolution photos for use in personal or professional projects.
8. Stock.xchng
Stock.xchng is a subsidiary of Getty Images and probably the most powerful stock photo website listed here. It is also the closest to the major players such as iStockphoto. It has a collection of more than 400,000 photos and the search function is really powerful.
9. Any stock photo
Every stock photo is not a stock photo website in itself, but a search engine and a pretty powerful one. It allows you to search photos from many sources at once and displays the license information front and center so there is no confusion later on.
10. Stock Photos
Stock Photos is a Pinterest-style website for browsing stock photos. The website has a collection of 25,000 curated stock images, divided into different categories.
De Stock Photos
The websites in this article are sorted by ease of use. The ones at the top are the easiest. They are the most indie indie sites. There is no search bar or a quirky description. These are the best websites to browse if you have the time and are looking for inspiration for your new project. If you’re looking for something specific, try something like Any Stock Photo or one of the last three choices.
