See now How to Find Free Images For Blog Posts in Urdu/Hindi
When we have so many sources to get copyrights free images then why bother using copyrighted images that can create troubles for us in the future. Yes, we can use free images for any of our personal or commercial project without giving any credit or attribution to the original creator. Recently, I came across some users requesting me to explain the copyrights about images and particular the images they find in Google search. I took this opportunity to create a video tutorial on this topic in Urdu/Hindi, and explain as much as I can.
How Copyrights Free Images Work?
For any digital work i.e Video,
Software, App, Photo, Film etc, the original creator decides how should
their work be accessed by the public. Whether free or paid, and how much
accessibility be given to the users. There are different type of
licences and legal entities. The very common one is the Creative Common 0
or CC0 which means free use of that property by everyone for any
purpose i.e personal or commercial.
There is also a Creative Common 2.0
licence which is only applicable to personal and noncommercial use, but
if used in commercial work then credit/attribution to the original
creator must be given. The example of that is Freepik.com. And there are
many other platforms out there on the internet who provide graphics
with Creative Common 2.0.
How to Find Free Images for Blog Posts?
Now, I’ll give you a list of resources
where you can find free high quality images for any of your project or
blog post. You can use these images without giving credit or attribution
to the original author, because these all images come with Creative
Common 0 licence which means you are free to use them, modify them, and
wherever you want. I’ll suggest you to watch the video tutorial in
Urdu/Hindi first in order to know about these free sites.
1) PixABay.com
The first and very famous website to
find royalty free images for your own projects is PixAbay.com. “All
images and videos on Pixabay are released free of copyrights under
Creative Commons CC0. You may download, modify, distribute, and use them
royalty free for anything you like, even in commercial applications.
Attribution is not required”. I’m not saying this, it’s written on their
website, therefore I used quotes.
2) UnSplash.com
Are you looking for high resolution
images which are absolutely free to use? if so then unsplash.com is your
best friend. With thousands and thousands of photo stock, the website
is adding new photos to their gallery every single week, if not every
single day. I mean, why would someone miss this whole package?.
3) DeathToTheStockPhoto.com
You can get the idea from the URL
itself, whoever has registered this domain name, he/she absolutely has
some SEO problems. But that’s not our problem, our problem is finding
free IMAGES which you can easily get by going to the URL I mentioned at
#3, I mean the AKA DeathToTheStockPhoto.com.
4) GoodFreePhotos.com
Another great addition is
GoodFreePhotos.com, a superb collection of free to use graphics and
images. You can find any wallpaper according to your requirements by
searching using their website mentioned above. There are different
categories for finding images i.e nature, funny, artistic and so many
other. But the amazing thing I found there is; you can even find photos
in country wise order i.e USA, UK, Japan, China etc.
5) PublicDomainArchive.com
PublicDomainArchive.com (PDA) is a great
source for nature and high quality free images. You can find some
really great images while keeping this website in your list. I’ll
recommend you to even bookmark this site as it will help you in finding
royalty free images for your new projects.
6) FreePik.com
The first 5 websites I mentioned are
with CC0 licence, that means you can use their images for free without
even giving credit back, but FreePik.com is not a CC0 website, it’s CC2 =
Creative Common 2.0. This simply means, you can find high quality
beautiful images, but you must give credit back when you use their
images in commercial projects. Just mention their website when you use
images from FreePik.com in your blog post or any other project.
Bonus Point:
Google is your best friend in
everything. Yes, it’s your friend even in finding free images for your
blog posts and other projects. Just open Google, search for your desired
keyword, and then click “Images“, so you’ll see the images in result. And there you’ll see an option called “Search Tools” click that and you’ll see more options. Click the option “Usage Rights” and then click “Labled for reuse with modification”, and that’s all what you needed. Free images for your blog posts and projects.
