DISimages | New Stock Options. Commons. NOAA-1 Page 1. 25 Free Stock Photo Sites :: Digital Image Magazine. When I began the research for this article, I knew of only a handful of free stock photography sites. I set out to find as many good ones as I could, thinking maybe I’d find a dozen. I was quite surprised to find 25 good, solid resources out there. There are probably more, but these are the ones I found. If you’ve got a favorite and it’s not here, send it along. Note the terms of use for each site.
Some of these sites offer free images in addition to images for a fee. All of them are worth a look. Keep in mind that “Royalty Free” does not mean the images are free; it means that you don’t need to pay the photographer a royalty each time you use the image.
