The Ultimate Free Stock Photo Search

What is the ultimate free stock photo search?

It is actually an addon which helps you to find free stock paragraphs. It has over 200 sources of free stock photos and free images(almost half a billion to be exact). The sources include:

Currently the ultimate free stock photo search addon is available for installation in Google Chrome and Firefox. If you are using Chrome or Firefox as your browser, you can install this addon to your browser. The links are below:

Chrome Addon

Firefox Addon

The addon puts a simple button on your chrome toolbar. I am using Chrome as an example as it is my default browser. Once you installed the addon, you will see the magnifying mirror icon as the arrow shows. Once you click on the icon, you will see a drop down list of 200 websites offering free stock photos, illustrations, clipart, texture and all kind of other free images.

All these sites are configurable. You can select which sites you want as your default search(your searches is remembered as your previous search when you close it)

There are over 100 which can open directly to the search results on the terms you want to search for, a few has to be browsed manually as they do not have search function.

The list is updated automatically as when one site is closed, it will be removed. If there is a new site added, it will automatically added into the list.

One good thing is to be sure whether you have the license to use the author’s images you find, the addon menu has quick access to the license page of each site.

The sites that are marked with a star are stock sites that offered paid images whenever you can’t find an images for free.

I have tried search for images and so far i am happy with what i have found. Some of the sites require you to sign up in order to download the images.

Next time if you are looking for free images, install this addon and give it a try.
