If you’re on a limited budget, or just need a quick photo, try some of these sites.  I tried to post sites that allow commercial as well as personal use, but make sure you read their terms of use and give photo credit where it’s due.

Be sure to choose quality images with good contrast, color balance, sharp focus, etc. At full size, web images should be 72 dpi, and printed images should be at least 300 dpi. (Learn how to check this here.)

Of course, nothing beats an original, commisioned photo for your website or printed material. But if you need quick, free visuals, I hope this list is helpful.

Remember, if it looks free, that’s because it is! So use good judgment and make sure the photo reflects well on you!
