67 Best Websites For FREE Breathtaking Stock Photos

​

Updated 21 March 2019
​
​As one of New Zealand's most popular web designers, we understand the need for amazing high quality photos to create the right visual impact.  Photo choices are critical to engaging the imagination of readers and getting them to stay on your page.
"Content with relevant images gets 94% more views than content without relevant images."
​
​We see a lot of inappropriate and lazy stock images of generic "happy people" standing outside, business people standing in suits shaking with no emotion factor to your audience. What's worse, many of these images cost considerable money to purchase and display. Your website images need to convert just like you hope your content does - getting the RIGHT IMAGES is more essential than ever. ​
"Researchers found that coloured visuals increase people's willingness to read a piece of content by 80%."

​Thankfully, we've put together a list of 67 fantastic websites with beautiful stock photography and images that are 100% FREE to download and use.  Free from copyright restrictions, or licensed under creative commons public domain CC0, this means you can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.
Quick Note About Licenses
Some photos may in some cases require attribution. We’ve exhausted ourselves in identifying where this may be the case, and we advise you to read the image details before using. ​With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s dive into our top picks for free stock photos!

PixalBay

Pixalbay's opening sentence is a dream - "All images and videos on Pixabay are released free of copyrights under Creative Commons CC0. You may download, modify, distribute, and use them royalty-free for anything you like, even in commercial applications. Attribution is not required."

So what's not to like?
The selection isn't fantastic for certain niches, i.e. cities, countries, but for generic images, Pixalbay is totally worth a play.
