Hi,

How you bloggers deal with pictures issue ? Do I need to post copyright free pictures? If yes, then where do you find it ?
 
You could use websites like Pixabay or Unsplash.

You don't need 'unique' photos to rank, but it may make your site appear more genuine if you did.
 
You can also try on Pexels.
 
Try Pixabay or Canva to create unique photos.
Second that.
Google algo doesn't care if it's licensed free or licensed. It tries to eliminate duplicates.
I even get everything from canva. Saves me time.
Your pics are not gonna be unique unless you go around taking pictures.
So to make unique create a blog banner image by adding blog title and website name on the banner image using canva blog template. Add any canva image relate to your niche.
Do that for all blogs posts.
So you will have at least one unique photo per blog.
 
This was on my mind recently, but not from the copyright perspective.

Lately, I'm seeing more and more blogs, especially authority ones ranking on position 1 without any picture or video.
I see the tren gets popular even more if I go down the pages. Not even talking about youtube videos embedded in the page, they don't exist.

Any thoughts about this?

I've always 'stolen' pictures from other sites and haven't had issues. But it's much better to use copyright free pictures as you'd have nothing to worry about in the future.
 
Picture should not be copied as well as redundant Pic also avoided. Use unique picture from Pixabay, Photopin, StockSnap.io.
 
You could try pixabay or other similar sites that offer free pictures.
 
It depends on your niche.

If you are doing a step-by-step breakdown of a process, getting pictures is pretty straightforward.

You can just do screenshots using Lightbox or any other tool to lend credibility to your posts.

Remember, the whole point of adding pictures to your posts is not to make them pretty. Your objective should be to clarify the ideas that you're trying to get across.

If you're able to do that, then your posts will be more valuable.

You don't have to necessarily use copyrighted pictures.

You can just use stuff based on the operations or steps you're going through.

But if you're reviewing a product for example under the copyright fair use jurisprudence, you can use otherwise copyrighted images like logos and companies' product pictures for the sake of making a review, doing some sort of commentary, or publishing news about that item or brand.
 
There are some sites that give such free pictures which you can use on the blog.
 
U can find unique hd pictures in unsplash..
Use high quality pictures in blogs there is no copywrite issues with unsplash..
 
Hi, look for copyright free images with google advanced options, edit lightly with gimp or canva and you are ok. I prefer to waste some time searching for images because with my long articles, they manage to grab attention
 
As many have said here, I recommend Pixabay. The quality of the photos is excellent.
 
No, blogging doesn't require unique pictures :). But For safety, you can use copyright-free images. There are hundreds of free resources in online like Pixabay and Unsplash.
 
An easy way to get a unique picture is to take a royalty free image and overlay some text on it and save that as a new image. Now it’s modified and unique.
