Blog posts and web page copy aren\u2019t the only types of content that you need on your website. In fact, using only written content can make your site appear boring and unoriginal.<\/p>\n

This is where visual content, specifically images, comes in to play. Images can add life to your content, and even break up longer pieces of text. This can draw in more readers, and keep their attention<\/a> for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n

In this post, we\u2019ll discuss the importance of incorporating images into your website. We\u2019ll also provide 20 examples of free stock photo websites you can use. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

Best Free Stock Photo Sites in 2018<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Unsplash<\/li>\n
  2. Pexels<\/li>\n
  3. Pixabay<\/li>\n
  4. Burst<\/li>\n
  5. StockSnap<\/li>\n
  6. PicJumbo<\/li>\n

    Don\u2019t Forget the Images<\/h2>\n

    As we\u2019ve mentioned, images help to break up long content, as well as fill up negative space on a website. They can also bring life to your content, and increase the average time that visitors spend on your site (which is great for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<\/a>).<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, many bloggers and website owners will avoid using a lot of images, due to copyright issues and stock photography costs. However, stock photography doesn\u2019t have to cost an arm and a leg.<\/p>\n

    In fact, it doesn\u2019t need to cost anything at all. To illustrate the point, let\u2019s take a look at 20 of the most popular free stock photography sites.<\/p>\n

    20 of the Best Free Stock Photo Sites on the Web in 2018<\/h2>\n

    1. Unsplash<\/a><\/h3>\n

    While containing a smaller collection of images than some other stock photo sites, Unsplash<\/a> offers high-quality, beautiful photos from dozens of talented photographers. Subjects covered include nature, business, people, and street life, and this site will appeal to website owners looking for real, raw images.<\/p>\n

    \"Unsplash

    While Unsplash can be a bit difficult to navigate (when compared to other options), the use of Collections<\/em> and trending search terms can help you to locate what you need quickly.<\/p>\n

    2. Pexels<\/a><\/h3>\n
    \"Pexels\"
    Photo by Courtney Sargent<\/a> on Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Pexels<\/a> is a curated website that offers selections from photographers around the world. It touts itself as the ideal stock photo website for bloggers, and this shows in its array of people- and technology-focused collections.<\/p>\n

    \"pexel
    Photo by rawpixel.com on Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    One useful feature offered by Pexels is Browse<\/em>. This enables you to explore at random (such as via Discover Photos<\/em>) or with a particular criteria (such as color or Photo Challenges<\/em>) in mind.<\/p>\n

    3. Pixabay<\/a><\/h3>\n
    \"\"
    Photo by Daria-Yakovleva<\/a> on Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Pixabay<\/a> is similar to Pexels, in that it offers a wide collection of curated images for use on blogs and websites. In addition to photographs, it also offers illustrations, vector graphics, and videos.<\/p>\n

    \"pixabay\"

    To begin exploring, you can use your own search terms to navigate the site. Or you can take a look through popular categories and Editor\u2019s Choice<\/em> images for inspiration.<\/p>\n

    4. Burst<\/a><\/h3>\n
    \"burst

    Burst<\/a> is a product of Shopify<\/a>, and it includes high-quality images for just about any industry (including travel, business, food, and fashion). Perhaps one of the greatest things about this site is its easy-to-search categories.<\/p>\n

    \"Burst
    Photo by Nicole De Khors<\/a> on Burst<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The name \u2018Burst\u2019 fits quite nicely, as the majority of photos it offers have a pop of color that seems to be lacking on many other stock photo sites.<\/p>\n

    5. StockSnap<\/a><\/h3>\n

    \"best
    Photo by vibrantphotography<\/a> on FreeImages<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Perhaps the greatest difference between FreeImages and most other stock photo websites is that you\u2019ll need to create an account (although it\u2019s free). Once that’s done, you can then download and use the images, just as you would with any other website on this list.<\/p>\n

    Pitfalls of Using Stock Photos on a Website<\/h2>\n

    Using stock photos on your website, either free or paid, can offer many benefits. However, there are also some potential pitfalls to watch out for.<\/p>\n

    One of the biggest cons to using stock photos is that they\u2019re used everywhere \u2013 on other blogs, websites, news articles, and more. This can make your content seem less unique. It can also be easy to tell if certain types of photos are stock images, which further reduces your content\u2019s perceived originality.<\/p>\n

    In addition, stock photos don\u2019t enable you to showcase your brand. They can also introduce licensing issues, which can cost you credibility and money if images are used illegally on your site. For that reason, it\u2019s important to be careful when it comes to image licensing.<\/p>\n

    Licensing Stock Photos<\/h2>\n

    Copyright can be a difficult subject, but one that bloggers and website owners must understand if they want to protect themselves from fines and legal actions. So, what exactly does copyright have to do with stock photos?<\/p>\n

    Stock photos, just like all other images available on the web, require proper licensing<\/a> in order for you to use them. In many cases, this licensing is purchased. However, it can also be given freely, which is the case with free stock photo websites.<\/p>\n

    When using an image on your website that you haven\u2019t paid for, always be sure that it\u2019s completely free to use for both personal and commercial purposes. Many stock photo sites will have their images licensed under the public domain<\/a>, so you can find the information you need easily.<\/p>\n
