The number of sites on the Internet is increasing, and they need images to accompany the text. There is no shortage of pictures either, but the law prohibits the use of someone else's copyrighted images without permission. This issue is resolved by purchasing photos on paid photo stocks. If your resources are limited, you can take pictures from free photo banks.
It is necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - URLs of sites with free pictures;
- - e-mail for registration at some photobanks.
Instructions
Step 1
Certain rules apply to free stock photos. Use the picture one or more times, but generally only for non-commercial purposes. You do not get the rights to them, you cannot sell them, use them in the design of products for sale, reproduce and distribute, etc. Pictures cannot be used as a logo or part of it. You cannot use photos on resources that violate the law in any way. On some sites, one of the conditions is the indication of the author of the photo. It also happens that the author leaves his own requirements under each picture, and you can use it only if you fulfill these requirements.
Step 2
Register online to download free images from dreamstime.com. Only the first 50 downloads are available for free. Further, if you want to take images from this stock, you will have to subscribe to a paid subscription. Register on freerangestock.com to be able to download images. Authors are optional, but encouraged. Use the images from the freephotosbank.com stock with the indication of the source site, and, if necessary, contact the authors for permission. Free images after registration are also available at 123rf.com, photogen.com and others.
Step 3
Without registration, you can download images on openphoto.net, and indicate the author and source site. Also, without registration, download pictures at stockvault.net, turbophoto.com, freedigitalphotos.net, freefoto.com - under the terms of these stocks, you must put a link to the source site. The sxc.hu website requires an indication of the author, and sometimes notification of its use or obtaining permission to do so. Sites without registration include morguefile.com.
