Here are some of the best websites where you may find high-quality photos for free.

1. unsplash.com (Unsplash)

This is my favorite website for downloading high-resolution photographs. Subscribe to the email newsletter and you’ll get 10 photos in your inbox every 10 days. All images are under the CC0 license meaning they are in public domain and you are free to use them in any way you like.

2. pixabay.com (Pixabay)

All the images on Pixabay are available under the CC0 license and thus can be used anywhere. Like Flickr, there’s an option to browse photographs by camera model as well.

3. Freeimages.com (Stock Exchange)

This is one of the biggest repositories of free images and graphics that you can use for almost any purpose. You do however need to sign-in to download the images. The site, previously hosted on the schx.hu domain, is now part of Getty Images.

4. Foter 

They have access to over 335 million stock photos within their database. 220 million of these photos are licensed by the Creative Commons. You can either type in your keyword within the search bar or start by their concise list of categories. Embed code may be customized so that it fits certain dimensions within your website and it will automatically insert any required Creative Commons attributions.

5. StockSnap 

It has a searchable collection of high-resolution photos that are not bound by copyrights. You can discover photos by searching key words or by looking at the latest posts on their Trending page. This service was created by Snappa, which also makes an online graphical editor.
