IMAGES COMING BACK SOON!
I’m always on the hunt for beautiful images for peoples websites, and posts for their social media pages. We all know that a good, eye catching image will get your more eyeballs on your work than just written text.
But if it’s not something you do all day, every day, you might not know where to look for free images that you can use on your pages without the hassle of worrying about copyright.
Well I thought I’d share a few of the sites I use to get my images, free and paid.
A good one to start with is Pixabay. This is a great site – all images are free, and you can download the size you require. They have a whole range that you can use for any industry. Just type in to the search box and whatever you’re looking for will pop up in the feed.
Beautiful images too!
Unsplash is another great page for getting stylish photos on your website. This one is a little more urban in style, but still a great find. A disclaimer at the bottom of each page has a note to remind you that you can use the photos as you wish. So go for it – create a beautiful post for your business with a beautiful, free image!
Pexels is an Instagram worthy website – absolutely gorgeous images that would make any social media feed look amazing. Each page seems styled and all the images in the feed that all seem to work together somehow. A really beautiful website that you could easily waste hours on, just looking through an endless reel of images.
Trust me, I’ve done it many times and suddenly realised I’ve wasted a whole afternoon.
PicJumbo has a different style to the others mentioned above, it also has a paid membership option, giving perks to help with your image searches. It also has an option to sign up to get relevant images right your inbox, so it goes that little bit extra in the way of helping you out. You can even search hashtags #!
I’m adding this one because of the name… It’s still a great site, but the name is just amazing! KABOOMPICS – don’t you love it? This is another royalty free image website with actual free images, the site was created by a website designer in Poland and is done super stylishly. I’m a big fan of monochrome design, and this is a simple stylish website.
