Unsplash

Free high-res photography

Free tier + paidDesign tools, color & typeunsplash.com

What it is

Large library of high-resolution photographs free to download and use commercially with no attribution required. Unsplash+ is a paid tier of exclusive images that are model and property released, carries extra legal protection, and lifts download caps. There is a free developer API.

Why it earns a slot

The default source for a hero image or blog header when there is no photography budget. Credit is optional, so nothing has to survive into your footer or an attributions page.

Know before you commit

The free licence forbids compiling Unsplash images into a competing service or selling unmodified copies. Free photos are not model or property released, so avoid them in ads implying endorsement — that is what Unsplash+ exists for. Popular shots are also everywhere and instantly recognisable.
