Default Free images for use on website?
Does anyone know of any good sites I can download Free and Royalty free images so that I can use on my website?

I've just priced one up and it's going to cost me £900 for three years!

I haven't looked for any free ones. I use www.istockphoto.com which does have a fee but it's not expensive. I just top up my account every 3-4 months when needed but I guess it depends on how many images you think you're going to need? Don't forget there are heaps with the Microsoft products which you can use if you're not onselling the items you use them for, such as a book.

I like http://www.bigstockphoto.com, images start at $2.50 and the more credits you buy, the less they cost. I just bought 30 credits at $1.50 each.

Hi Kelly,

I also use istock for my images, they have some very nice ones. But the problem of using these sites for images, is finding one to suite and also are not on many other VA sites.

I am in the process of looking for new ones for my site which I am upgrading at the moment. Hope to have it up and running again by the end of the week.

I like the "stock exchange" http://www.sxc.hu/ Some of the images are royalty free and there are some that you can purchase. I've used this site for years and love it.

If you require free stock images, try http://www.morguefile.com. Despite the rather unattractive name, it has a good selection of photos in many categories. The photos are taken by aspiring photographers and hobbyists so perhaps are not as stunning as those mentioned in previous posts but nonetheless, there are still many exceptional ones.

Another good option is sxc.hu. A web designer told me about this site last year.

Thank you for listing this site! I just started researching photos for my website and business cards, so www.bigstockphoto.com really came in handy.
