When we are faced with a project that requires images, it is crucial to ensure their quality before starting let's do it. I know it would be great if we knew how to do everything and done well, but this is not normal either due to lack of time or means. Surely you cannot, or at least not always, create or capture the ideal images to add them to your projects, so you either hire a professional photographer or directly acquire images in an online bank.
As you know there are free modalities and premium modalities. Although generally the images of premium banks present a plus quality, it is true that image banks with very high quality content are appearing lately and that they do not have much to envy to premium banks. Today I would like to share with you a selection of no more and no less than 11 free banks. Pay attention!
Jay Mantri
On this page you will find 7 new and totally free images every week. They have a zero license, so you can share them giving them any use. They are of high quality and among them you will find everything from landscapes to portraits or everyday scenes.
Foodie's Feed
This bank is specialized in high resolution images of food and cooking processes. In it, about five images a week are usually uploaded and on many occasions the same scene or dish taken from different angles is offered. Excellent for food businesses. Although it is a completely free bank, it offers the possibility of making donations through Paypal.
New Old Stock
Very interesting if you are trying to find royalty-free images that have historical value or weight. New Old Stock includes both originally free and royalty-free images as well as new images that have been released at the end of their contract. The range that it offers us is very wide and among its images we find many classics that were even used in advertisements and advertisements.
Unsplash
We have mentioned it on occasion or other. In this bank 10 images are uploaded every ten days. Different professional photographers participate and their themes abound above all both urban and natural landscapes and scenes of daily life. His motto is "Do what you want with our photos, don't ask permission to use them." They have a high quality and allow us to use them for any purpose. Highly recommend!
little visuals
It is relatively new but it is beginning to gain positions in the network. This bank includes 7 new images every week that can be downloaded individually or received via email in groups with prior subscription. They are subject to the "Creative Commons" license so they can be used freely for all kinds of projects and purposes.
Gratisography
It includes a wide variety of high resolution images, all under a free license and perfect for both commercial and personal use. They are all categorized by humans, animals, objects, and city.
Picography
The format is very similar to that used in previous image banks. From time to time, new high-resolution images are published, taken by different professional photographers. In the photographs in this bank there is a great presence of models and people, something that I miss, for example, in Unsplash where, above all, photographs of landscapes and objects abound.
I'm free
This alternative is not an image bank as such but also has other free resources such as icons, buttons or graphics. It can be very useful if you are facing a web project and need resources to cover different areas.
Death to the Stock Photo
As in one of the previous ones, we can either individually download the images that are useful to us or we can receive packages of images available to be downloaded and used in our inbox.
Public Domain Archives
This collection contains copyrighted images that belong to the UN but are also free to use. New content is added periodically, so it is recommended that you take a look at it because it is likely that you will find quite interesting work material.
Compfight
It is one of my favorite options because of the huge variety of images it contains. In few places there will be more images than in the Flickr universe and through Compfight we will be able to access its database through a search engine. Each image clearly indicates the license of the image in question and whether you can download it or not.
Free really?
Yes, really! ;)
Extremely useful! thank you :)
