Studies have found that people are<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/visual-content-marketing-strategy#sm.0000rhafrp8fucqlvky1wmgr2bm5i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <b>80% more likely<\/b><\/a> to read content that includes an image and 64% more likely to remember it afterward.<\/p>\n<p>For the copy on your website to do its job, finding the right image is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>But you don\u2019t have an endless budget to work with and creating or buying images for every single page and blog post on your website adds up fast.<\/p>\n<p>If you know you need images, but simply don\u2019t have the money to spend on them, you still have options. Here are a number of ways to find free images to use on your website.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/website-builder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HostGator-Website-Builder.png\" alt=\"HostGator Website Builder\" width=\"600\" height=\"73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HostGator-Website-Builder.png 600w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HostGator-Website-Builder-300x37.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Where to Find Free Photos<\/h2>\n<p>Every time you go looking for stock photos, you only seem to find ones that come at a fee. That\u2019s because you just don\u2019t know the right places to look (yet). There are a surprisingly large number of websites that provide free photos that you can use   often without attribution.<\/p>\n<p>Before you start browsing the sites on the list below, it\u2019s important to understand how to recognize which images are entirely free to use, and which are free with a catch. You have to look for the license type, which will usually be listed somewhere below or to the side of the image. Here\u2019s how to recognize what<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/share-your-work\/licensing-types-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> each license type<\/a> means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Public domain work <\/b>  there are no known restrictions on use of the image, you\u2019re free to do with it what you like.<\/li>\n<li><b>CC0 <\/b>  This means no rights are reserved, you can use the image without attribution, making changes as you see fit.<\/li>\n<li><b>Attribution <\/b>  You can use the image for free, as long as you include information on your site about where you got it and who created it.<\/li>\n<li><b>NonCommercial   <\/b>These are only available for free use for someone who won\u2019t be using them for commercial purposes. If your website is used to sell products or services, you should steer clear of using these.<\/li>\n<li><b>NoDerivatives  <\/b> You can use the image for free, but you can\u2019t make any changes to it unless you get permission from the creator.<\/li>\n<li><b>All rights reserved<\/b>   you cannot use the image legally unless you get permission directly from the creator (probably for a cost).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pay careful attention to the license of each photograph you consider using so you stay on the right side of the law. Once you understand what the different licenses mean, you can start browsing a long list of websites that include free photographs on them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gratisography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gratisography<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/kaboompics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaboompics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/startupstockphotos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Startup Stock Photos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splitshire.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Splitshire<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeofpix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Life of Pix<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pexels<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.everystockphoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Every Stock Photo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/negativespace.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Negative Space<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fancycrave.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FancyCrave<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.morguefile.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Morgue File<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pixabay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pixabay<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/totallyfreeimages.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Totally Free Images<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/publicdomainpictures.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Public Domain Pictures<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/freerangestock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free Range Stock<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/4freephotos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4 Free Photos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.openimagebank.com\/en\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Image Bank<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.public-domain-image.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Public Domain Image<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/copyrightfriendly.wikispaces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikispaces Copyright Friendly Directory<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/commons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flickr Commons<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/free-images_pg1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dreamstime<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nos.twnsnd.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Old Stock<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freeimages.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free Images<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/picjumbo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Picjumbo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/jaymantri.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jay Mantri<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/littlevisuals.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Little Visuals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pdpics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pdpics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pickupimage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pickup Image<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How\u2019s that for options?

Experiment with lighting.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-16035 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Professional-Photos-for-Your-Business-Website_2.png\" alt=\"Hire professional photographer for company photos\" width=\"305\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Professional-Photos-for-Your-Business-Website_2.png 462w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Professional-Photos-for-Your-Business-Website_2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Professional-Photos-for-Your-Business-Website_2-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/>Lighting plays a big role in how a picture will come out and you\u2019ll benefit from<a href=\"https:\/\/improvephotography.com\/19177\/8-tips-getting-professional-indoor-photos-every-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> trying out different things<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>See how it looks using your room\u2019s main overhead light, then see how focused lighting from any lamps you have looks different. Look for spaces in your office that provide natural light and try those out too. Depending on the subject of your photograph, think about taking it outside at different times of day to test that out. And try out any different camera settings you can as well, including seeing how your photo looks different with the flash versus without.<\/p>\n<p>Experimenting when you start out can help give you an idea of the types of lighting that look best for different types of photographs so that, over time, you\u2019ll have an easier time knowing how to approach the lighting for each picture you take without having to test things out as much.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Consider investing in a tripod.<\/h3>\n<p>Tripods are a pretty affordable purchase that can make a big difference in the quality of photos you take. You can even find cheap tripods designed for use with smartphones rather than cameras.<\/p>\n<p>A tripod allows you take photos that are steady and makes it easier for you to frame the perfect shot. It costs a few bucks, but you\u2019ll likely find it\u2019s well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Create solid-colored backgrounds.<\/h3>\n<p>Whether or not you should use a solid background depends on what you\u2019re photographing, but in many cases it can improve your photographs.<\/p>\n<p>Creating one can be as simple as pinning a sheet in the color you want on the wall or buying solid-colored poster board (if you\u2019re photographing something on the small side).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Take a lot of pictures so you can choose the best.<\/h3>\n<p>The more photos you have to choose from, the more picky you can be.<\/p>\n<p>Take lots of pictures, trying out out different angles, staging, camera settings, and lighting as you go. Make use of the storage space you have on that camera or phone and don\u2019t delete anything until you load it to your computer and see how it looks on the bigger screen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. Experiment with free photo editing software.<\/h3>\n<p>Taking the photos is the most important step, but not far behind it in priority is editing them to look just right.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are a lot of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/10-sources-for-web-design-freebies\/\"> free websites and tools for photo editing<\/a>. Play around with a few of your options and see which one works best for you to get those images website-ready.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Resources to Make Free Images<\/h2>\n<p>Photos aren\u2019t the only type of image you can use on your website. While hiring a graphic designer to make you original illustrations and images is costly, you can find free design software that makes doing it yourself relatively easy.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the top resources for creating free images to check out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Canva<\/b><\/a><b>   <\/b>Canva\u2019s a popular tool that lets you use a an array of templates, fonts, and images for free to create unique images for your website.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.befunky.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Be Funky<\/b><\/a><b>   <\/b>Similar to Canva, Be Funky\u2019s another tool that lets you easily create designs using a collection of free templates, fonts, shapes, and colors.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/snappa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Snappa<\/b><\/a><b>   <\/b>Snappa\u2019s free version lets you pull from their collection of photos and templates to create original images as well.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/infogram.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Infogram<\/b><\/a><b>   <\/b>Infogram makes it easy to make charts, interactive maps, and infographics using data points you have.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/piktochart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Piktochart<\/b><\/a><b>   <\/b>Piktochart is for making infographics.

Maybe they can be a background to an original image you create in one of the free image software programs, or they can become part of a larger image that\u2019s made up of a combination of smaller ones. Anytime you can make your images unique, do so.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Using images effectively on your website is a skill set   and one not everyone has. If you feel out of your depth, but simply don\u2019t have the funds to hire someone to help, make use of the many resources designed for people like you. You don\u2019t have to give up on using images entirely (and you shouldn\u2019t!), you just have to take some time to seek out or create the right ones and learn how to use them well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Find and Create Free Images To Use on Your Website Every website needs images.
