From the About-page:
Photos for everyone
Over 3 million free high-resolution images brought to you by the world’s most generous community of photographers.
[…]
Is it really free? Yes.
Unsplash is a platform powered by an amazing community that has gifted hundreds of thousands of their own photos to fuel creativity around the world. So sign up for free, or don’t. Either way, you’ve got access to over 3 million photos under the Unsplash license—which makes them free to do-whatever-you-want with.
I have been an Unsplash power users for years. Also love Pexels! Both amazing platforms.
we can also share some love for https://pxhere.com
I haven’t known this one so far. Thanks.
When I was a multimedia designer for an advertising company we used unsplash and pexels all the time for stock photos. Always looked at the free sources before looking at paid stuff.
I use both daily in my job. I normally go to pexels as it seems to give me better search results. Both are definitely good though!
Pexels and PxHere look also nice, thank you for sharing :)
Love the site. I got many pics from it to suebin my personal projects so I could later show them off in my portfolio, some parts of which used to be public, so this really helped me avoid any trouble with licensing or anything.
Sometimes I also get some pics there to turn into wallpapers for my phone or my 16:9 screens.
Absolutely recommended, especially if you need assets for your projects that won’t get you in trouble.
Shameless plug: I love Unsplash and have been using it for many years both as a contributor and viewer, but their new Unsplash+ service sucks so I made an extension that removes it from the site :)
So, I really like using Unsplash.
One thing I am always uneasy about is when I see just how many photos with people there are on the site. What model in their right mind would agree to give away their likeness for free and practically without being able to control the use of the resulting works at all?
Like, imagine a right-wing party uses you wearing a rainbow shirt as a motive in their campaign. And since the image is not individually licensed, there is pretty much nothing you can do.
Great site
