Don’t infringe copyright… Use Royalty Free Images !

People use images in all sorts of ways in business but in the online world some seem to think it is okay to lift a picture & repurpose it. It really isn’t – you must use royalty free images …

… so rather than get into a lot of trouble check out my short video & the resource list below

Here are some websites where you can get 100% free stock images for your website, blog, fan page posts, etc.

I get asked this all the time, so this is for you:

https://tookapic.com/photos
https://www.pexels.com
http://pixabay.com
https://unsplash.com
http://barnimages.com/
https://picjumbo.com/
http://search.creativecommons.org   click the Google Images box then search for the word or phrase you need – that’s where I got the image for this post

https://pikwizard.com/ also has its own design editor where you can add text & personalise your images

Here are some more from this article:

So… as you can see, there are plenty of resources …there is absolutely no need to fall foul of the law!

Which image sources you find especially useful?

It would be great if you shared here in the comments then we could collaborate on compiling a huge resource list or you can send me a message here 🙂
