Fotolia.Com
The right image or photograph can bring an otherwise average blog post, inforgraphic, or presentation to life. But finding images that are simultaneously beautiful, affordable, and easy to license can be a back-breaking task.
Below are some of the best websites for finding royalty-free or creative commons stock images and photos that are cheap or free to license.
Fotolia has 28,322,693 stock photos available, one of the biggest collections around. Because of their API, many other popular stock image websites (including two or three featured in this post) actually use Fotolia’s database of images.
Fotolia is free to register, which gives access to all its royalty-free images with worldwide licenses that never expire. Payment plans include a pay-as-you-go option starting at £0.54 per credit or a variety of daily subscription packages offering up to 25 downloads per day from as little as £0.15 per image.
