The perfect image will make your Steemit post POP, whereas a bad one will make your readers keep on scrollin'. Plus, using images without attribution or permission is a copyright infringement.
I tend to prefer my images to be absolutely permission free just to avoid any possible future ramifications, but there comes times when you found the perfect image on Google and just have to use it! If that happens, first be sure you have the proper permission from the original poster. You do not want a nasty cease and desist letter from an attorney!
Keep it simple and legal with these free image websites.

Thanks for the list. Public domain is a pretty amazing resource. You can do a ton with it. I also search wikimedia commons for images.

I will just steal your links for free photos..thanks for sharing these..people do share them off and on and out of laziness I go to pixabay if I need a photo. I think these other sites look more fun.

This is a very handy list to have. It can be very difficult to find free images just by googling, especially on a mobile phone. Thanks for sharing.

Yea, google is not the best option due to the extra work involved with first figuring out if you can use the images, then attributing correctly.
Glad I can be of help :)

Great to have this list! I like to use my own material whenever possible. Sometimes that is a deterrent to getting things done though, if you don't have the right image yourself.
