Best Free Stock Photo Websites

You may be asking yourself why I don't have a list of 1000+ sites to share with you.

While there may be thousands of photo sites out there to find free stock photos, I find myself going back to the same ones each time I need a new photo for a project.

Following are my top 5 best FREE stock photo websites:

1. Pixabay

2. Ivorymix

3. Gratisography

4. Picjumbo

5. NegativeSpace

Pixabay

Pixabay is my go-to site for a wide variety of photos, vector graphics, illustrations and videos.

What I love most about Pixabay is they typically have what I am looking for so I don't have to search all over the internet for the perfect photo.

Here you may find and share images free of copyrights.

All photos, videos, illustrations and vector graphics are released under Creative Commons CC0 into the public domain.

Ivorymix

Ivorymix is a stock photo site for makers and bloggers created by a husband and wife team, James and Kyla Butler.

Simply share your email address and gain access to over 300 feminine, modern styled stock photos for your brand. In addition, receive free stock photos sent direct to your inbox each month.

The photos are free for commercial use and are royalty free.

Gratisography

If you want images that will get clicks, then look no further than Gratisography.

This website features images taken by photographer Ryan McGuire and is simply amazing.

Ryan offers free high-resolution pictures you can use on your personal and commercial projects.

New photos are added weekly so be sure to stop back often.

PicJumbo

Picjumbo is free stock photo site created by designer & photographer Viktor Hanacek in 2013.

He started his website when his photo submissions were declined by a stock photo site due to lack of quality.

Well, guess what?

Visitors to his site have downloaded more than five million images!

I find picjumbo easy to navigate with the images grouped into searchable categories.

To make it easy, you can sign up to have new images sent to your inbox on a regular basis.

NegativeSpace

NegativeSpace is a community of photographers who offer beautiful, free high-resolution photos for personal or commercial projects.
