5 best free photo stock sites

Recently several students asked me about the best free photo stocks and online editing tools. 

Here you can see my short list of the best free photo stock sites. Take into account, however, that sometimes you may be asked to mention the author and that there are different permissions in different sites. 

1. Unsplash

​Great photo tool, thousands of pictures and really good search options!

2. Pexels

Pexels is an aggregator of free photo stocks, so it has a really good database and will bring you many different results.

3. StockSnap

Another great resource. Cons: some of the photos you can easily find elsewhere. They are under Creative Commons though! 

4. Burst (by Shopify)

This site was created by Shopify and they have both CC pictures and those licensed by Shopify. A big pro is that you can find some gems there that are not available anywhere else! 

5. Pixabay 

One of the biggest sites for sharing pictures! You can find tons of free photos in there. 

When you are looking for a specific picture, your safest best is to go to all 5 of them, review the licences, choose the image you like the most with the licence you need and voilá, you can enjoy your free photo!
