25 resources for license free stock photos

Photos licensed under the Creative Commons license CC0 are free to use


Any given website you develop or design requires some degree of attractive visualisation. After all, a picture tells more than a thousand words. It happens quite often your customer doesn’t provide visual material of any significance so to fill in the gaps, you have to obtain pictures yourself. Grabbing images randomly from other websites is a no-go because it compromises the uniqueness of your web project. You even risk copyright violations and other license infringements.

Fortunately there are plenty of resources where you can go for high quality license free stock photos. In the vast online libraries and archives, you are almost certain to find something that can give your web – or print – project what it needs.
