如果您曾经需要为您的网站、博客、时事通讯、海报或其他任何东西提供一张好的(poster or anything)库存照片(stock photo)，那么您可能已经意识到有多少网站会收取大量费用来下载一张照片。
诚然，如果您定期需要高质量的库存照片(stock photo)，订阅其中一个网站可能是值得的，但如果您一年只需要一两次图片，为什么要花那么多钱呢？有很多免费的图片(stock photo)网站有足够大的收藏，所以你可能会找到你要找的东西。
在本文中，我将列出我最喜欢的七个，用于我自己的博客和我的客户。如果您在此处列出了最喜欢的免费图片网站(stock photo site)，请在评论中告诉我们。您还会在网络上看到一些文章，例如“50 个免费的库存照片网站”，但其中很多的收藏非常少。我试图坚持只用几个你可以找到更多图像的地方。
所有这些网站都使用知识共享 CC0 许可证(Commons CC0 license)，这意味着您可以下载图像并将其用于个人或商业利益而无需任何署名。它太酷了！
像素
Pexels是我最喜欢的查找免费库存照片(stock photos)的网站。这些图像都是非常高分辨率的，这意味着如果你愿意，你可以将它们用于一些非常大的打印。
大多数文件的大小都超过 10 MB！此外，您还可以获得有关每张照片的信息，例如用于拍摄照片的相机以及用于编辑照片的软件。
关注
Pixabay上有超过100万张可以免费下载的图片。我喜欢Pixabay的原因是他们有比Pexels更好的搜索选项。您可以按媒体类型、方向、类别、颜色和尺寸进行搜索。
此外，您可以花哨并使用AND、OR 和 NOT 运算符(OR and NOT operators)来创建一些非常具体的搜索。在Pixabay上的分辨率不如(Pixabay)Pexels的那么高，但对于大多数网络和打印要求来说仍然足够了。
StockSnap.io
StockSnap.io 与 Pexels 类似，图像分辨率非常高，但整体图像较少。他们也有搜索选项，但主要是按日期、趋势、视图、下载和收藏。
这使您基本上可以快速找到最受欢迎的照片。您也可以单击类别页面并(page and browse images)以这种方式浏览图像。如果您需要真正的高分辨率图像，这个网站是另一个不错的选择。
不飞溅
Unsplash和我提到的最后两个站点的集合比我上面列出的站点要少得多。您不会找到那么多图像和那么多种类，但实际图像本身仍然具有非常好的质量。
在Unsplash 上(Unsplash)，您还可以获得有关每张照片的详细信息（相机型号(camera model)、快门速度、焦距、ISO等），如果您感兴趣的话。
负空间
NegativeSpace仅有 1000 多张免费库存照片，但图像质量和分辨率(image quality and resolution)都非常好。搜索选项或有关照片的信息方面并不多，可能是因为它们没有那么多图像。
自由照片
Freely Photos是另一个小网站，有几百张免费图片可供您使用。这些照片与其他网站略有不同，所以如果您正在寻找更独特的东西，那么这个网站可能会有所帮助。
创客手册
Makerbook是一个图片库网站(stock photo site)，专门为初创公司提供图片。因此，如果您需要一些新创业公司的库存照片并且想要看起来很酷和时髦，那么这是一个很好的访问网站。他们没有很多图像，但他们拥有的所有图像都非常适合初创公司。
正如我所说，还有许多其他免费的图片(stock photo)网站，但这些是我喜欢的主要网站，因为我实际上可以找到一些有用的东西。请记住(Remember)，您可以以任何您喜欢的方式使用这些站点中的所有图像，而不必担心获得许可。享受！
7 Awesome and Free Stock Photo Sites
If you have eνer nеeded a good stoсk photo for your website, blog, newsletter, poster or anything else, you probably have realized how many sites there are out there that charge a lot of money to download a singlе photo.
Granted, if you need stock photos of really high quality on a regular basis, subscribing to one of those sites is probably worth it, but if you only need a couple of images once or twice a year, why pay all that money? There are a lot of free stock photo sites that have large enough collections, so you’ll probably find what you are looking for.
In this article, I’ll list out seven of my favorite that I use for my own blogs and also for my clients. If you have a favorite free stock photo site listed here, please let us know in the comments. You’ll also see some articles on the web like “50 free sites for stock photos”, but a lot of them have very tiny collections. I’m trying to stick with just a couple where you can find more images.
All of these sites use the Creative Commons CC0 license, which means you can download the images and use them for personal or commercial benefit without any attribution. It’s pretty cool!
Pexels
Pexels is my favorite site for finding free stock photos. The images are all in very high resolution, which means you can use them for some really giant prints if you wanted.
Most of the files are well over 10 MB in size! In addition, you get information about each photo like which camera was used to take the photo and what software was used to edit it.
Pixabay
Pixabay has over 1 million images that you can download for free. What I like about Pixabay is that they have some better searching options than Pexels. You can search by media type, orientation, category, color and by size.
In addition, you can get fancy and use AND, OR and NOT operators to create some very specific searches. The resolution is not as high on Pixabay as it is with Pexels, but it’s still enough for most web and print requirements.
StockSnap.io
StockSnap.io is similar to Pexels in terms of the resolution of the images being very high, but it has fewer images overall. They also have search options, but it’s mostly by date, trending, views, downloads and favorites.
This lets you basically find the most popular photos quickly. You can also click on the categories page and browse images that way. If you need really high-resolution images, this site is another good option.
Unsplash
Unsplash and the last two sites I mention have much smaller collections than the sites I listed above. You won’t find as many images and as much variety, but the actual images themselves are still of very good quality.
On Unsplash, you can get detailed info about each picture also (camera model, shutter speed, focal length, ISO, etc.), if that is something that interests you.
NegativeSpace
NegativeSpace only has a little more than one thousand free stock photos, but image quality and resolution are both very good. There isn’t much in terms of search options or information about the photos, probably because they don’t have all that many images.
Freely Photos
Freely Photos is another small site with a couple of hundred free images that you can use. The photos are a little different than the rest of the sites, so if you are looking for something a little more unique, then this site could be helpful.
Makerbook
Makerbook is a stock photo site that has images specifically for startups. So, if you need some stock photos for your new startup and want to look cool and hip, then this is a good site to visit. They don’t have a lot of images, but all the ones they have are very startup-ish.
As I said, there are many other free stock photo sites, but these are the main ones I like because I can actually find something useful. Remember, you can use all the images from these sites in any way you like without having to worry about getting permission. Enjoy!
