Royalty-Free Stock Images (80+ Resources)
Okay, I just wrote a new article for my site as part of the SAC program. But there are so many people here on WA that ask about this topic I thought I would add a link here as well.
I have compiled a list of over 80 sites that have royalty-free images (Whew! That took some time. lol) The majority on the list are also free, and many don't even require attribution.
None are affiliate links... I'm just offering another resource for new and old members alike and this is much simplier than listing them all here. Use as you best see fit :-)

I'm glad that Pixabay is #1 in your list. The site is so easy to use, and is very generous with free-to-use images. With other sites on the list, you can end up frustrated. And with Pixabay, the image sizes are exactly fitted to what I need for my blog and social media posts.
The premium or sponsored images are kept atop of the page in a small section, and the bigger portion of the site is for providing free images to its users. I love Pixabay more than any other free stock images sites out there!
Hahaha... well, the list is really in no particular order other than how I found them initially and kept a running tally. That said, if I were to rank them, Pixabay would likely still be number one :-)
I looked there, thanks for that. No mention of Canva. Most of us use their stock photos, are they royalty free?
Great recommendation. I had not thought of Canva as I typically only use it to edit images I already have. I forgot they have a lot of their own as well. I will add it to the list as soon as I get a chance. :-)
AJ - thank you for generously sharing this with the community. A super resource (and a terrific website).

Great list.. quite a few on there I use.. sadly most are not free.. I use pixabay a lot.. they’re free but got not fall in love with the top row images.. Adobe are sneaky! One cute way to get free from them us sign up for the 10 free images, then cancel subscription before the start of the next month.
Actually the majority are free, although some require a sign up.
