Check out these websites to provide free images for commercial and noncommercial use across print and digital. Yes, free and no penalty!

Pixabay – Right now this is my go-to website for images for websites.  You can use all the photos whether it is commercial or personal.  Just don’t try to resell the images or put them on products without a large amount of alteration.

Unsplash – I just had a client turn me on to this website.  She sent over some beautiful stock photos for her new website from them, so I bookmarked and I plan to use them more often.  I think I even might like the quality of the photos better than Pixababy.  The same rules apply though, don’t try to resell or add to products without some major alteration.

Freepik – I use Freepik mainly for vectors.  I think they have a great variety of vector icons and add ons for logo design.  I have the paid account but you can filter for free items.  The same terms applies.

Whether you are a designer or just working on building your own website or marketing material, I hope you find this information useful.
