I’m not too sure about some of these sites, why commercial sites into the same list as sites offering free photos? dexhaus for example?

Hmm. Photocase isn’t free.
September 9th, 2008 at 4:00 am
Nice list, I’ll save it for future use.
September 9th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Photocase free?
September 9th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
HI Romi & Rhming Designer
Photocase is free actually you can get free download credits by participating in the community (getting photos approved, contributing to the magazine).

Often i’ve found the time I spent looking for good images on free sites is false economy.
By all means try free sites but don’t be afraid to pony up some doe for the perfect image.

Hi webmaster!

I would like to suggest another free stock photo site:

thank you, guy

Thanks for identifying some new sites for me to try. I have used some of these sites and find it most annoying that they offer free images, but when you have registered you find that most require a payment. The free images offered are usually pretty uninteresting. The compulsory purchase of ‘credits’ that need to be used before an expiry date is a real bind on some sites. I guess there is no easy way to find that ‘right’ image.
September 24th, 2008 at 12:04 am
These sites offer free stock images.
September 24th, 2008 at 7:39 am
thank you very much
September 24th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Hi Guys,
first of all thanks for listing us. We are free for photographers who contribute and comercial for people who are using photos. I think there is nothing wrong with paying for something that safes you money and time. At Photocase you pay 1 Euro and you get a selection of photos that you will not find at any other site. We don’t have 2 million photos and thats good. Because then you as somebody who is looking for the right photos, don’t has to go through thousands of the same photos over and over again
On the other site we try treat everybody fair. The photographer gets 60% of all revenues and you as a buyer can use the download credits when ever you want. It don’t expire.
Hope you like the photos, which is actually the most important part
Cheers
Frank (Berlin)

Thank you for sharing the list. We would like to add one: acobox.com - it’s designed for bloggers (so maybe not good to designers). In fact it is a hosted image solution to blogging: bloggers can hotlink to acobox for images in their posts. That means they don’t have to do any image job when using image. Certainly, it’s free.

I don’t get it. Most of these aren’t free.
Can you publish a list of sites that only have *free* stock images?
February 27th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Thanks for the links. Found them useful and used some of them in my own list.
I may add one from myself - http://co-photo.com/ - not big, but concepts are usually in a need for designers..
Thanks again!

I recommend this great site http://www.public-domain-image.com
“Public domain images, royalty free stock photos. All photos on this site are top quality high resolution public domain images. They are explicitly placed in the public domain. Use them freely for personal and commercial use. Largest image archive, several thousand photos in high resolution, nicely organized hierarchically in folders, easy to browse, all are public domain images, and all are 100% free for download, no back link or attribution required.”

November 24th, 2009 at 3:47 am
Very nice, these are great resources. Always hungry for more quality websites like this, it’s not easy to find great pictures. It’s good food for though to see all the royalty free content that is available on the net. There’s a lot on the plate for those who know where to look, thanks for the great links
