Get the best photographs for your project with a free license for and completely free
As you read images without watermarks and most importantly with enough quality to give the image of professionalism to your blog. Every time the bar of appearance in blogs is higher, surely you pay close attention to the images you use to illustrate your posts, and spend hours searching stock photos for good images. Sometimes we don’t have time to take photos on our own, plus stock photos are usually pretty good. If you like to put images on your blog you should pay attention to these ways of how to obtain free images legally with creative commons so as not to have problems due to image rights or to be pending licenses, I have focused on citing the banks of images that I normally use, especially those that allow the use of images without any type of license or restriction.
There is someone who does have the attribution, for example, but is warned. There are many false myths about intellectual property and the use of images that circulate on the internet, however there are software and companies in charge of detecting stolen images or images that are not used under the agreed license, so you must be careful if you use images from google. The spectrum of fines for “stealing images” is varied, although the simplest thing is that they contact you to place the attribution or remove the image, it is difficult for them to report without warning but if you can avoid it better. In my case, a newspaper took an image of my property from my Facebook, the image was taken in a demonstration, I contacted them and they paid me something for the image, they asked me for forgiveness but they did not attribute it at the right time. I currently protect my blog content with Safe Creative
12 ways to get free images for your blog:
Free Image Finders:
They are image search engines that feed on the images sent by users and advertising, they are fine, but they handle a large number of photographs that hardly pass filters, some are very bad and are not usually very well categorized, AND there are times when you notice that someone has knocked over the camera and left a photo shoot of your cat for stock photos.
The weak point that stocks and free search engines have is usually the filtering of images by categories, color, orientation, labels… which is not available in any of them, these functions are possible in paid image agency search engines. One trick is to search in English so that they refine the search better. Below I cite two examples that allow the free use of the photos they include.
Apixaban:
Very good free photos and without restrictions of use, you can choose in which resolution to download the image.
If you upload 5 photos of your harvest you will avoid being bothered by the registration and by the way you contribute, don’t worry, it’s okay with anything you have at home.
There is a category called editor’s choice in which the photos are much better chosen.
Mortuary file:
It’s free and royalty-free, there’s everything here, that’s why I recommend that if you see a photo you like, download it because it’s very difficult to find it again.
Follow Morgue file on Instagram to get the best photos, they make a very good selection for Instagram but in the search, there are times that it seems that you have arrived at «cat land».
Photo
It allows up to 20Mb of daily downloads, very good quality photos, with the possibility of buying images in higher resolution for $2, it has very well screened photos and I currently use them in quite a few projects. It has a large stock of children’s images, of children, businesses and people doing actions, which is not common in other search engines.
Every stock photo’s
A huge stock of photographs in which it is difficult not to find what you are looking for; they are not always free to use but it specifies the license very well. In this image bank almost all images are subject to recognition and show tribute.
Footer
Another Stock with almost infinite capacity that, apart from the download option, has the option to embed (embed image) for those people who have problems hosting images.
Above is an example of an embedded image and what the license attribution looks like.
Free digital Photos
It is a very interesting photo search engine; the photos are free in 400px size and with attribution. The advanced search engine is very good and the price of the images is not expensive in the case of needing a larger size and in it you can find interesting images for blogging.

A good stock of quite modified photos, this stock is very popular for the photos as expressive as the ones in the example and the variety of registers they sure sound familiar he Hehe.
Death to stock Photo
It works by subscription, you sign up and from time to time you receive a batch of totally free images to download, the bad thing is that each time it is about a theme and it is rare that you can take advantage of any of them. But they are images, videos and audios of very good quality. It is very important to take into account the type of license that the images you download have, there are several types: copyright, Creative commons, GNLU. So, if you want to avoid legal problems, respect the license under which the image is subject. I have omitted some websites and platforms because they have more varied image rights, as is the case with Flickr, where an author can have all his free photos or some with or without a license, and I think it can be more confusing.
