When it comes to blogging just about every blogger knows that the biggest way to stand out from the crowd is to have amazingly high quality, eye-catching photographs. Bloggers also need to create graphics that are social media friendly. For every blog post that gets published, there’s a blogger who’s created a Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram and probably Twitter-friendly graphic for use when it comes to sharing the blog content on social media.
Today I’m sharing some advice for bloggers who want to know where to find the best royalty free images for their blog. There are many websites where you can purchase images for use on your blog, but you need to know where to go.

This site releases 10 new photos every 10 days, making it a great site to find high-quality royalty-free, CC-0 Licensed, and public domain photos for your blog. The search feature on Unsplash is pretty user friend allowing you to search by keyword, theme or topic to find the best high-quality royalty free images for your blog.
Public Domain Photos
You can easily search for public domain photographs to use royalty free images in your blog posts. The search feature makes it possible for any blogger to search using a term that’s relevant to the blog post they’re working on and in turn find images for use within the blog post. A public domain photo is basically one where the copyright has expired or never existed so you’re free to use the image.
New Old Stock

This is last on the list due to the fact that sometimes it’s more difficult to find a good image for some topics.
Each of these sites will aid you to find the best royalty free images for your blog will help inspire you to spend less money on high-quality photographs by simply using photos that are free on public domain or offered free of us by the creator.
