Unprofound is another awesome resource for online copyright-free images. It started out in 2001 after

its owner, Jim, had enough trouble searching for quality, public domain photos online to use in his

designs. According to his story, he then decided to buy his own camera and asked some help with his

photographer friends until he was able to learn the craft.

Today, Unprofound has become a global collaboration of photographers. It allows sharing of RF

photos, made available for anyone, for any type of use. He just reminded that these images cannot be

redistributed and sold individually or to be claimed by anyone except by the original author, but can be

used for almost any personal and commercial purpose

Free Media Goo is the home of free photos, textures, and digital

backgrounds. Same with the rest of featured sites in this blog, this crazily

amazing site offers royalty-free images that can be used both for personal

and commercial purposes.

This makes it easier for web developers to gather photos for print, film, TV,

Internet, or any other type of media (as the site claims). Though it has less

number of categories (6) to choose from compared to other sites which

also offer RF images, almost all of its content are classified with high

quality

Another cool resource for RF images is Free Photos Bank. It covers a wide

range of high quality stock photos that are available in different sizes. It

has 9 categories to choose from namely: abstract, architecture, fruits and

food, nature, computers and technology, objects, miscellaneous,

transportation and life.

Photos in their collection are free so long as you use it for websites,

magazines, e-books, etc. Selling photos is strictly prohibited and you must

accredit this site in the work where you used their contents.

Imageafter claims to be “the raw base for your creativity”. This is another

online collection of photos, vectors and textures for free. Usage for both

personal and commercial use is allowed.

You can freely download your desired photo from their huge collection of

high resolution photos. All images in this site can be downloaded in JPG

and JPEG format, and are mostly donated by their online visitors.

If you are unsure of what image you want to use for your project, you can

find the descriptions for each category in this site very helpful.

If you’re looking for the best way to pile, categorize and share your photos

online, go to Flickr. It offers up to 1 Terabyte storage capacity for each

personal account, making it easier for you to store and access your huge

files of photos.

Flickr The Commons began in 2008 during the launch of a combined

project by Flickr and the The Library of Congress. Since then, it has aimed

for two main objectives: “To increase access to publicly-held photography

collections, and to provide a way for the general public to contribute

information and knowledge.”

This site covers a large library of high resolution RF photos and allows

sharing of the world’s public photo archive. You can upload your original

photos by creating a free membership account to Flickr which in return

entitles you for free access to a wide range of available high resolution

images.
