Background information

Stock Free Images has over 470,000 free images. It is owned by the paid site Dreamstime. Need to be careful if you want the free ones, that you are looking at the free ones and you are suddenly not taken to the paid site. The free photographs are not of the same quality.

Advantages

  • Images are completely free.
  • Some interesting and good quality photographs

Disadvantages

  • Some of the photos involving people seem very staged and unnatural.
  • Limited range in comparison to some other sites.
  • Images are not categorised so this makes it more difficult to do effective searches.

Thank you BIS.

I would just like to add a site specific to icons, instead of pictures (if anyone is interested to enhance the view of a website):

ICONSPEDIA: http://www.iconspedia.com/

It's all free and it has a very large database.

Great info "BIS." There's another source that you can use for FREE even for commercial purposes AND no attribution required! I just used some for a landing page header. Here's the Licensing Terms: http://morguefile.com/license/morguefile/

Thanks for this. I'm going to check out all the ideas that people have given me - and then I will add a page for them - so we have a really good resource for people.

I second that - great training resource BIS. A new player in town that I've checked out is PhotoDune.net. They have a nice collection of stock images which I haven't seen replicated across other marketplaces.

Great resource again BIS, also very good how you've gone into some detail and not just listed a bunch of sites. Thanks

Thanks Craig. It's not a very long list but I wanted to be able to talk about sites that I've used myself.

I also use Clipart.com for paid photos and normally find what ever I'm looking for, I like them because the price is pretty good compared to other stock photo sites and they offer subscriptions like you pointed out.
