Posted by Sri Ganesh.M on Jan 30, 2010

Everyone like photographs and like to mix with your creative work in design community.we have to be aware of copyright policy of every image we use.-some images are to be paid and some are free. We need high resolution images for our work which is royalty free and can be used for Personal and commercial purpose. so here i have mentioned some Resource list for royalty free stock images. “even now some users does n`t care about copyright / license of that particular images and later they suffer from them, its better to see the license of the image and move ahead in your work”.

I use PicApp.com for my blog. It has both stock and celeb photos for free. All you have to do is embed. They have made it a lot sharper lately and it isn’t very intrusive anymore. But I love this list. I have bookmarked it.

The quality of some of these free sites is a little lacking. Sometimes I’d rather pay $5 for a good image from istock or somewhere similar. Thanks for the list, though.

I like stock photos on photl.com. They have not bad collection as well but mainly studio photos, but what i like most there is tat u can download parts of images not the whole images. Very convenient, because they have a daily limit (up to 35 Mb).

Wow! Amazing list! Thanks dude!
Before your post I knew only flickr and google image
http://ablogaboutvideogamesandtechnology.com/ ABVT

Thanks for taking the time to compile this list. I’m not really in need of stock images at the moment, but I know I will be. This will come in handy when I’m looking for that one image that seems to not exist on the internet and has me freaking out as a result.

Thanks Sri.. I really like FreeRange and Texturama both. I will have to check out the others, but this is quite a good list.

You’ve done a great job collecting these sites. I knew several of them of course but I’ll go and see the others. We are always looking for photographic resources. Go on Sri ! I’ve thumbed up your post.

Great list, thanks a lot – more than anything, it’s useful for me to give to clients who need images for blog posts and news articles.

People can also check out http://www.cjophoto.com/ for free royalty free photos and images.
http://www.highresolutionfreeimages.com Sarah

Thanks for this fantastic list. However what is disappointing is that most sites which gives images for free tend to give very small images which are not of much help. One of my friend, Ramya also has started a new website where she has started uploading few images every week. Please add her site to your list if possible as this useful information should reach those users who want it most and are lost in 10000s of many sites which dont give high res images for free.

Her site is http://www.highresolutionfreeimages.com

Thanks
Sarah
