Where Can I Get Free Images?

[dragonrage01]

I need some free images for my websites. I don't want to get sued for taking someone else image. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try morguefile

You can search for some free stock image sites there are a couple of decent ones out there. What I usally do with images is search for them on Tineye to found out how many times that image has already been used, and if its spread all around the web already I just assume its safe to use.

1) Go to Google images and type in desired keyword phrase.
2) Once results are displayed, select advanced image search.
3) Select the "usage rights" drop-down menu and select the "labeled for commercial reuse" option, and you'll be good to go.

sxc is great - I use them all the time.

You can also use flickr, goto the advanced search and at the bottom of the page you can specify to only search within Creative Commons-licensed content .

The suggestions given here are good. You can get all of these option in one place:

Always coming in with the clutch posts. Thanks Wiz! Though if your just looking to not get sued you'd be fine with google images (depending on the image category). Although, I don't know your niche so you may need to be cautious.

i saw somwhere in this forum there is a download links for 1000+ free images, try to use the search function to search for it.

 

[pleasenukeme]

I also use sxc dot hu . It was closed for at while and is opened up again, its really my alltime favorite for royalty free photos.

 

[wannabie]

1) Go to Google images and type in desired keyword phrase.
2) Once results are displayed, select advanced image search.
3) Select the "usage rights" drop-down menu and select the "labeled for commercial reuse" option, and you'll be good to go.

Really good first post!!
