top-5-places-to-find-free-photos-for-your-blogAre you looking for places to find free images you can use in your social media post, blog, or website? I have good news; today I am excited to share with you 5 top places to find free photos for your blog. I know from experience that trying to find high-quality images for your blog or social media posting can become time-consuming and costly.

A common mistake many bloggers make is copying other bloggers. They place disclaimers on their website about the images their using. Please, beware of copying what other bloggers do even if they are known in the blogging industry.

Be diligent about doing your research about copyright images. For the most part, many bloggers find pictures on Google and paste it on their website giving attribution back to the owner thinking this is fair use. However, there are waiting for a lawsuit to happen.

In order to avoid any issues, you can buy images in places such as Creative Market  or use the top 5 copyright free images sources for bloggers below.
