Published 13. 1. 2022

It is easier and cheaper to go to a stock photo site than to hire a professional photographer. That's why these sites are so popular. So where to look for perfect photos online?

 

Visual identity plays a key role in building a corporate brand. But creating a logo and choosing colors or fonts is not the topic of this article. The goal is to cut out the cost of a professional photographer and at the same time not damage the company's image.

 

Every penny counts?

If a photo is going to be used to promote a business, it must meet certain criteria. It pays to take time to choose a photo so that the result looks good and is relevant. Low-quality images from free stock photo sites should not appear on the homepage or other important places, like a company presentation. But they can easily be a useful resource for startups or social networking.

In addition to the visual aspect, copyrights are often a neglected issue. Not all photos are available for commercial use. There are different types of licenses, and even the free ones might have certain restrictions.

 

Selection of stock photo sites

You may know the big stock photo sites such as Adobe, Shutterstock, or the free stock images site Pixabay. But there are many more stock photo sites available. Whether paid or free, you will find different theme offers, license restrictions as well as different quality. In addition to photos, graphic artists and other content creators will often find videos, vectors, illustrations, audio recordings or 3D elements.

So if you decide to browse the stock photo site instead of using a photographer, we have selected the following 40 stock photo sites for you.
