As a creative netizen, you know that you can’t just download pictures from anywhere and use them on your own project. Whether it’s clearly posted or not, content online is copyrighted or licensed such that most of the time you must purchase or at least ask for permission to reuse it. Thus the evergreen challenge: where to get free pictures. If you haven’t already found a legal supply, here’s a suggestion: try Pexel.com.

According to the site’s license:
All photos on Pexels are free for any personal and commercial purpose.
