Free Stock Photos For Your Website
For many of us that develop websites on tight budgets, professional royalty free images are not an option. After all, professional images can range from $25 to $150 an image, drastically increasing the development cost.
Fortunately, there are great sources of free stock photos and graphics. Below, we’ve included a list of websites which provide free images for your use.
List of Free Stock Photo Websites
- FreeFoto.com
- stock.xchng
- Wikipedia
- Morgue File
- World 66
- Deviant Art
- photogen.com
- Stock Vault
- Free Photos Bank
When using this list, be sure to pay attention to the terms of use. Not all of these websites use the same licenses. For example, some of these images have a Creative Commons license and need to have some sort of attribution for the author. And others cannot be used on commercial websites.
Be sure to bookmark this page; we’ll be adding to the list.

This one more source for free images: acobox.com.
In fact, it’s more than a free image site – it hosts all image so that you can hotlink image, legally.
Well, although that might not be useful to web designers, I believe the bloggers like you will love it.
Thanks for the links. Imo, sxc is really one of the leading ones and the most convenient in the free stock photo industry =)
I am building another one from myself – some conceptual images – http://co-photo.com/ – still not big, but growing.
@Photo buyer: Thanks for the link. You can never have too many photo sites to use for images.

All photos are high resolution and absolutely free to use for both personal and commercial projects.
