A List of Royalty Free Image Sites for Your Active Rain or Blog Posts!

Real Estate Technology with Zurple

Why did I use this picture of primates sitting on books? Because it is weird and captures your attention! Here is a list for those of you looking for images that are free to use and royalty free! 

  1. https://pixabay.com/ 
  2. https://www.pexels.com/ 
  3. https://unsplash.com/ 
  4. https://burst.shopify.com/ 
  5. http://stocksnap.com/ 
  6. http://www.lifeofpix.com
  7. https://skitterphoto.com/

To step away from my "Zurple Marketing Team" role, as an individual I am partial to pixabay. This is because the image search is easy, and the creative commons license is clearly labeled on each image.  That is just a personal preference, and not an official endorsement by our company. :)

 

What stock images sites do you use? Do you sign up for paid stock images like Shutter Stock? If so, what is your experience? Let us know in the comments below.


 

Wonder what book that Gorilla is reading? The free SEO Guidebook from Zurple, of course!

Great! I do all my social media marketing and am always looking for a good source of photos.

Ah yes, you either need to take your own photos or find a good royalty free source. We hope this helps!

Thank you for this awesome list of Royalty Free images. It has become difficult to find free images or graphics/photos with low costs. I create my own but there are so many different themes and looks that I need. Trying to produce them all is time prohibitive.

Thanks David! We agree. Walking around your neighborhood and getting good shots is excellent...but sometimes you might need different images of sinks or interiors.

Thanks Mary! The other options on the list are likely just as good, but pixabay has been reliable for most of my needs. :)

Thanks for a great resource list! I am partial to Pixabay, although I am a relatively new user.

Thanks Jeff! If you are like us, you might not need a reason to use any other resource outside of Pixabay.

I usually use my own pictures or those taken by family members or friends. These will be cool to look up!
