Get 20 FREE Graphic Images Per Day For Next 7 Days

I have seen a handful of members ask about places to get free photos and graphics. Someone recently asked about non copyrighted photos. I don't think here is such a thing as non copyrighted, but there is a thing such as " no copyright restrictions", and some even allow you to use their free photos for commercial purposes. But if you see the term " Some rights reserved", be sure to read and understand what they mean. They might just want a photo credit which is a cheap way for them to advertise and promote themselves and/or their business.

Here is an example I received this morning from www.graphicstock.com about getting free graphics. Just click link below.

https://www.graphicstock.com/freeimages/

I think they are based nearby in Reston VA. Other companies like Hubspot run similar promotions, but many want you to download an ebook or subscribe to their newsletter, etc. So check the terms as well to make sure it's something that you're comfortable with.

But don't be misled by the word " FREE". In this case, I think it means free license to use the graphics, but you won't actually own them. Always read the license agreement at bottom of the page.

Like Bruce Swindell I often use freedigitalphotos.net. You DO have to give attribution. Another free source is morguefile.com.

Pics aren't cheap, especially when you blog and market consistently. But I agree with those that say it's probably the most "worry free" method of addressing copyright issues. Free never really seems to be just that ...

I try to use my own pics whenever possible. When I need a pic I always search for Public Domain. One of my new favorite sources is Pixabay.com

Jeff Pearl - will have to check the license agreement (And can't be used for commercial purpose. Is blogging on ActiveRain considered a commercial use?)

#23- Hi praful, They said commercial puse is alowed, and yes, active rain can be considered commercial use.

#24- Hi Christine, Me too. That's always best. But most people don't have or don't know how to create their own graphics. Thanks

#25- Hi Laura, yes, using material you own should be first choice.

Hi Jeff, every once in a while I resort to a stock photo with proper accredidation but for the most part I use my own. It's still nice to know where to get a "free" image when you need one.

There are many resources for free photos and graphics, yet, how often do you really use or need them?

The topic for this post sounds like spam, but it's a great idea.

"get-20-free-graphic-images-per-day-for-next-7-days"

And it got me here, so it worked.

I like to use alot of my own photos, but there are times I need a picture of something that I've not had the chance to shoot so I use DollarPhoto ... it's a dollar per picture, but I can then use them as many times as I want. Works for me. I don't believe anything is "really free"
