But if you aren&#8217;t a professional photographer or <a href=\"\/blog\/tips-for-effective-inexpensive-product-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you don&#8217;t have the budget for photography<\/a>, then finding free images to use can be a headache. To help you find the best images for your website, marketing, and other projects, we&#8217;ve put together a list of some of the best sites that offer free images for small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-terms-to-know\">Terms to know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Copyright &amp; Ownership<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, images are copyrighted and owned by the photographer or creator. This is the reason you can&#8217;t grab any image you want off the Internet and use it for your business. Doing this could lead you to a lawsuit. That is why our list of free stock image sites is a valuable tool giving you access to millions of free, usable images.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creative Commons Content<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Some images on many of these sites are available under the <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/legalcode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Commons CC0 License<\/a>. Creative Commons is a nonprofit that provides free licenses for creators to use when making their work available to the public, giving up their copyright, and putting their creations in the public domain. CC0 (CC zero) license allows users to distribute, edit, remix the material in any medium or format, with no conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Royalty Free Content<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>When using royalty-free images, remember that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean the images are free. It means that you can use the material where you want and you don&#8217;t have to pay the owner royalties. However, it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll have to pay a one-time fee for the usage rights. The cost of images is usually based on the file size. If you&#8217;re going to use the image many times and in multiple places, then royalty-free might be a good idea for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our list below, all of these sites offer thousands, if not millions of free images to choose from. A &#8220;community&#8221; of creators generally provides photos and videos for free. Most of the sites also offer subscription services that give you more options and benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the majority of sites don&#8217;t require it, giving attribution to the photographers or creators is recommended, when possible, as they&#8217;re allowing you to use their work for free. Here are the 7 sites we recommend for stock photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-burst\">1. Burst<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/burst.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Burst<\/a> is our top recommendation because they are powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shopify<\/a>, a Canada-based e-commerce company and e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems. In other words, they understand business needs. Burst offers free hi-res photos for websites and commercial use. Their catalog features thousands of royalty-free stock photos shot by the company&#8217;s global community of photographers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site also features a special section just for <a href=\"https:\/\/burst.shopify.com\/business-ideas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business owners<\/a>, where you can choose from over 20 popular online business ideas. The case studies are updated regularly and include supplier info, marketing tips, business model insights, and free high-res images that you can use for your store and marketing campaigns. The Burst <a href=\"https:\/\/burst.shopify.com\/legal\/terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">licensing agreement<\/a> doesn&#8217;t require attribution for commercial use, and you can modify images the way you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-unsplash\">2. Unsplash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsplash, another Canada-based company, boasts more than 2.5 million free high-resolution images. The images are free to use for most commercial, personal projects, and editorials per the <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/license\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">company&#8217;s license agreement<\/a>.

The company launched&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/brands\">Unsplash For Brands<\/a> in 2019, which offers businesses the opportunity to be featured in Unsplash image catalog or they can use the site&#8217;s contributors to create original images that showcase their products.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-stocksnap-io\">3.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6905"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24441,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6905\/revisions\/24441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
