Position:Home>Visual Arts> Where can I download FREE stock photos? (Except Flickr or SXC)?


Question:http://www.sxc.hu/ is the best I've found - I know you said "other than", but, have you tried using the advanced search engine and search for images that are Restrict OK and choose NO for the search parameter.

There is also an SXC a group there that offers their photos restriction free that can be found at;
http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=blog&po...

Here are some others that I use from time to time.

http://www.freefoto.com
http://openphoto.net/
http://www.freerangestock.com/
http://www.cepolina.com/
http://www.freepixels.com/
http://www.bigfoto.com/
http://www.imageafter.com/
http://www.morguefile.com
http://freestockphotos.com/
http://www.stockvault.net

I used to use yotophoto to search all of the above, but they seem to have taken down their site and no news about why.

A worthwhile page to read on Creative Commons licenses. There are some Creative Commons search links near the middle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Co...

Please read the Terms of Use for the sites, and please follow the guidelines of the artist posting the photo or art. People not following these results in the sites being taken down and we ALL lose.

Good luck and have fun :-)

Edited to add a few more sites.

Try deviantArt - but read the artist's comments for terms before you use.
