In addition to copyright issues, you also need to consider whether the selected image is suitable for the theme of your article, and whether it needs secondary processing. To be honest, I think the cost of finding images is not enough for those websites that charge hundreds or thousands of dollars for website design. These are also accumulated slowly through frequent image searches. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point:
Here are 8 tips to quickly find the best free images on free image sites
Don’t download anything you find online
This tip has nothing to do with finding good photos, but it's the number one thing you have to remember: just because something is posted on the Internet doesn't mean it's free to take. Anything posted online (articles, photos, illustrations, videos, etc.) is protected by copyright. I know you would never steal, but it's a good reminder.
The second thing you have to keep in mind is licensing. Double-check that you have the rights to use the photo in the way you want. While most photos can be used for editorial purposes (such as in a blog post), many have restrictions on commercial use (such as in brochures or advertisements). Always read the fine print.
Download only the size you need
This isn't about stealing or licensing - it's just common sense. Images on stock photo sites are usually available for download in a variety of sizes. Unless you're a graphic designer, steer clear of huge photos. Download small or medium sized images instead.
OK, now that we’ve got the technical stuff out of the dating data way, let’s talk about the best free stock photo sites. Yes, free is great, and the quality of the photos on free sites is likely to be higher than what you’ll find on stock photo sites. There’s a catch though: if you’re looking for very specific images, you won’t find them on free sites. Not all images on free sites are free, because paid stock photo sites know you’ll go to free sites to find images, so they’ll advertise on free stock photo sites. Paid images are usually placed in the first row (with a discount to buy the images) or mixed in with free sites (usually through filters), so be sure to identify them yourself and don’t fall into the trap.
