If you are searching for free stock photo databases, there
are quite a few sites on the web that do that, and even at high quality:
there are sites that are made by artists or designers for other
artists and promote sharing their creations, there are also others
which have a double policy, offering both photos for sale and for free,
in distinct sections, and there are also sites which offer exposure to
new talented photographers who are willing to collaborate.
In any case, there are huge resources of free stock photos on the
internet and this article means to help you get to some of the best
sources available online at the moment.
So check them out- among all these links you are bound to find what you are looking for!
A famous and very reliable free stock photo site, with a huge
gallery containing over 350.000 quality stock photos by more than 30.000
photographers! You can find any picture you need: wallpapers for your
desktop, illustration for your blog, pictures for website design and so
on. It is also a place where you can share your photos and get
exposure. It also has a forum where you exchange ideas with other
photographers or artists! You have to register in order to download
pictures but it is a very quick and safe procedure.
Another huge stock photo database, where you can search among more
than 9 million images is Dreamstime. Here the policy is different, as
the site offers photos both free and for sale – in different packages.
You have several options: you can take photos from the free section just
by registering or you can buy high-resolution stock images with very
low prices. If you are a photographer you can sell your stock images
and get 30-60% from each sale you make.
Here you can download free stock images without any registration
necessary. They have a very big collection of high quality stock photos
both free and for sale, in separate sections again.
It’s a site with a huge collection of stock photos, either free or

In this case there is a different policy: you can download for free
the pictures from the huge stock photo collection available here, at a
medium resolution, on the condition that you promote them on your site
(by providing a link to the source of the picture you choose to publish)
It seems like a fair trade to me! If you want a very high resolution
you can buy them at a very affordable price.
It is a site where creatives can share and exchange their work. You
can easily download any picture you wish without any authentification
needed. If you wish, you can add to the collection of photos as well!
They are generally photos provided by very talented photographers!
Here you can choose from a collection of 5000 free stock photos and
8000 cliparts that are completely free to download without registration.
It’s quick and simple!
This site was created by a graphic designer and other collaborating
creatives who were bothered by the fact that it was very difficult to
find quality, free to use photos on the internet for using in their
graphic creations. So they took their cameras and made their own high
quality collection of photos and then they generously decided to offer
it for free to any other designer out there who might happen to need it.
If you wish, you can make a donation to the site – it would be a nice
way of saying thanks!
It is another site that has a huge collection of high quality stock
photos. Here you just need to sign up, and then you can download as many
pictures as you want, at a very high resolution. If you wish, you can
contribute with your own photos as well!
In this case, you will find a site that specializes in art
photography, with a retro look, and using old cameras that give a
special color effect to all the pictures. You can search the database
and you’ll also get information about the type of camera or film that
was used! Unfortunately, the pictures are not at a very high resolution,
but you can contact the artist that created them and discuss with
him/her if you need a high quality picture. Of course, you are free to
join the club too, if you are fond of creating such pictures and if you
wish, you can even order yourself a very good old camera from the site!
It is a site with a very big collection of free downloadable pictures
sorted on different sections.(No registration is needed).They are high
quality pictures created by a graphic designer who has traveled a lot
with his camera by his side. You can check his portfolio too

pictures on nature, geography and traveling mostly, but not only. Again,
no registration needed but you should credit the site on your website.

animations to download for free. No registration is needed again!
A site with a huge collection of 15 000 free stock photos
This is a site based on a very creative idea- but only at its
beginning at the moment. We’ll mention it for the cool idea: the
creators of of the site considered the situation when a graphic designer
searches desperately for a certain picture and doesn’t manage to find
it and they thought about reversing the process. This time it is the
designer who requests the exact picture that he/she needs and a
volunteer photographer will try to obtain it. After that, the picture
will be available for everyone to see and download for free.
A site with a huge collection of high quality stock photos that also
shows you the place on the world map where the picture was taken! You
are free to download them for personal use but they are copyrighted by
photographer and cannot be used for commercial purposes unless he/she
agrees with that.
