I used to really struggle to find good quality free images that allow use without restriction in commercial projects. To save you a similar struggle, I’ve gathered together a list of the best sites I’ve found.
As with all
“free” image sites, it’s always best to double check the licence/terms of use
for any images before putting them in projects you plan to sell/use publicly –
just in case!
UnsplashThey have a collection of stunning high resolution photos, to do with as you please. There are some really lovely photos on here, including lots of nature shots and this rather handsome chap.

A huge amount of images which are free for any commercial use without restriction. The site includes photos, vectors and illustrations.
This is a great site for old photos and images of all kinds; often taken from public domain books and similar sources.
There are a couple of reasonable restrictions, such as only using a maximum of 6 images in any one project and not giving away the images for free. Although they do allow you to sell the images as long as you stick to the rule of 6. Check the site’s terms of use for more information.
They also have a big list of tutorials and craft projects using images taken from the site.
All photos are totally free for
commercial use. They are particularly good for beautiful nature and macro shots.

They add one new high resolution photo each day. This site has an excellent search function where you can look for photos containing a specific dominant colour. There are separate search buttons for public domain and/or attribution required images.
Happy picture hunting!
