By An1ken. Posted: September 18, 2009 at 5:14 am
I bet there has been a time that you were looking for a nice stock image to use for a concept or a final design, but wasn’t willing to pay through your neck to get it. I have been stuck in that occasion many a time and I must tell you it gets pretty frustrating when you want to finish off a design and just need that final image but can’t find one anywhere. I went a step further and wrote this article containing a huge list of Free Stock Photography links I hope you find these useful. If you do please promote this article.
Below is the List of Free Stock Photography websites. ITS HUGE.

Ummm, not sure how you can say some of these sites such as GettyImages, ImageSource or iStockPro are Free Stock Photography links. There’s a big difference between “Royalty-free” stock images and “Cost Free” images. You might want to re-check a lot of these links.
Nice list. Please add http://asiastockimages.com . I have about 1,000 free images online, with lots of Asian content. Thank you!
@ Shi Yali: Thank you! Your site has been added.
Visited them all (phew!) and bookmarked my favourites, thanks.
A lot of the links pointed to the same places (jupiterimages stands out- think that came up 5 or 6 times) and a few are dead…. also, not a lot of them are true free image sites, but royalty free…. still an interesting view.
been there, know some of these sites and yes!!!! you have to dig way way to get the freebies… great list!!!!
nice list.
51 and 55 seem to be repeats of oneodddude. Can we add http://creepyhalloweenimages.com, we only have a small collection at the moment but all free and high resolution, thanks
Bow, what a list. So many outside
thank you for this resource!
Maybe you should thnik about „social media add icons” …

Great list.. But that did take you some time right? :p
We now have a free collection at AbsolutVision… —> http://bit.ly/akV3WO
Wow what a huge list
For even more free stock photos you are welcome to take a look at my project: http://www.StockPhotos.it (english language is included) My aim is to create useful database and catalogue of stock images. Now it contains tons of free images under various categories. Commercial images are included as well.
Hey guys, check out http://www.allourstock.com — It’s 100% FREE for COMMERCIAL and PERSONAL use. It has color search features (the only free stock site with such a feature) a blog with great resources, and much more. Tons of images added daily as well.
http://christmasstockimages.com has a free collection of festive season stock photos – all the images on the site are free for commercial use under a creative commons license
wow! Really huge list. Havent heard even about the half of these sites, and still some which i use regularly are mising here, For example i like the collections on http://www.photl.com and http://www.sxc.hu.
Half the sites on this list are now dead.
Half of what’s left have been bought up by commercial businesses or moved to a paid model.
There are a few nice ones left, but most of this list no longer carries free images.
