Thoughts and writings of someone loving linux, the web and his iphone
I often need photos for websites or other work, and I have quite a nice list of websites which I normally use first to find a decent image. All of them listed here offer free (no cost) stock images, so check them out if you need some photos. They are listed alphabetically, so it doesn’t mean the first entry is my preferred.
Some great photography (especially if you are looking for digital enhanced images) can be found on deviantart.com
This is actually just a search engine for other stock photography sites, but the results are very impressive!
Freepixels offers high quality stock photos.
You have to register to download images. Photos are all high quality, and if you decide to publish your photos on freerangestock you get a part of the ad revenue!
No registration, good photo quality, and a nice category system. Easy to find images what you are looking for.
Some really stunning insect images, not very much of them, but definitely worth a look.
Some really nice stock photos, but not very often updated.
As imagetemple, some really nice stock photos, but it seems not updated recently.
A sort of community, there is no need of registration for downloading photos, but if you want to upload them. Quiet good quality images.
A really interesting concept: Actually, they ask you which images you want, and then they start a sort of a contest asking people to upload images to the gallery. Definitely worth a look!
Often updated, some really really stunning photos, together with sxc my favourite free stock photo site.
Some good photos, but nearly one year ago since the last update.
A bautiful site, really stunning photos, a vibrant community, often updated. A great site.
A great place to find high quality stock photos, all photos are reviewed before published, to download photos in high quality you have to register for free. Probably my favourite.
On unprofound you search images by colour, some great photos, updated regullarly.
Thanks for the cool post m8! Very helpful!
Thank you for the useful information
Thanks for this resource.
As a designer I’m often looking for good quality images, and with the talent that’s out there on the internet it’s not always necessary to pay for them.
But you saved me a lot of time by narrowing down the list of candidate sites.

Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.
Keep up the good work.
Interesting list, however I usually just run an image search on yahoo and find what I am looking for from there. While I’m sure you can get what you are looking for on the sites that you mention, I always find it easier just to use an image search.
i usually use devian art , i think am gonna try the other ones , i think every one just love to get a free high quality photos .. for business
Freerangestock is best, very well!
For me Unprofound is best picture, Cheers!
Awesome! I was making what Sean Stephenson calls a “Visionboard” where you put up pictures of the main things you desire in life. Then you look at this board each day, and you keep it fresh on your mind which helps realizing your dreams
These sites free stock photography sites will definitely help me!
Thanks!
