hey what is up guys welcome to ram overload today i'm going to be talking about the top 12 best free stock photo websites okay so if you're making any videos or anything like any presentation or anything you want to have random images that you can just get of different things that will pertain to the topic you're talking about all right and the best place to go is um you know
like a stock website a stock images website or a stock photo um video website right so you'll find different types of videos and images some free some not free so today i'm going to be talking about the free ones and what are the top 12 in my opinion alright the first one comes in is free pick so freepik.com is an amazing website a lot of
you can see the sorting over here vectors illustrations mockups templates photos so let's go to mockups right you can see like computer mockups it will give you like this you can just use any of these and then put your photo in there and then use it as a mock-up so once you click here you guys can see on the
left-hand side there are filters for free and premium so they do provide both um types of photos and videos so let's click filter it by free and let's click on one of these you can see that one here is the free license um where does it say the thing so how to attribute so if you do want to give
attribution to for the images which i do think you should since you are getting it for free just to help the website and the uh photographer being better known uh you know rather than them charging for this photo they're technically giving it to you for free so you guys can um
somewhat promote them all right so you definitely should look into that as well but you know they have a lot of great things on here that you guys can you know use so moving on the next one is pixabay so pixabay is probably one of the top three of my favorite website uh favorite stock photo websites in my opinion right um it
has really cool pictures very all high quality right um i've used a lot of pictures from there i haven't really used many videos but i know for pictures it's really good and i'm sure videos as well so let's just take nature right and just see over here you can see all these images over here you can sort it has all these sorting features right orientation size color publish date
right and all these and you can see all of these images let's just click on this one right and you i guess to sign in you can um get more information about it but uh that being said you can look at the pixabay license what is allowed and what isn't allowed um so yeah um you can kind of use this for
which whatever you want for the most part right obviously they don't want you to distribute the images um as your own right um so definitely take that into consideration just read through the license and make sure you are not um going against it all right uh moving on is back teasing so vectors is a pretty good website in
my opinion um has great vectors really high quality let's close this out and just overall really nice um website for for images for this website i normally get images that i need on like on a website or something right it has a lot of cool small images like that right you know they have other web images as well like um you know stock
images that you would use on a video but me personally i use this website to get more vector type images which will fit on you know like a website or something so let's just click into this right you see this pretty nice images let's look at the license what is this they have the free license pro license and extended license
right you know free license does kind of um should you know if you're not using it on a regular basis should be good enough for most people but you know if you do use it definitely i would consider upgrading to at least a pro all right uh moving on is more file so it's a pretty weird name but um morg
file was probably one of the first websites to start this whole stock photo um free stock photo uh distribution right uh they are one of the oldest um but you know they they kind of led the way uh to allow other bigger websites uh to do that as well so again you know they have a lot of different images really great quality right so let's look
at this building right here and their license is pretty simple also so let's scroll down image license you guys can see over here you are allowed to edit the image right you can use it for commercial purposes so meaning you can't get paid for using this image somewhere like on your videos or anything right and
a company you're allowed to do that ownership you may not claim ownership of this image in its original state so obviously you know that would kind of be like just stealing saying that it's yours but then again um you know if you want to use it for pretty much it it allows for pretty much any um type of distribution that you want right
moving on is wikimedia common so this is not what most people think about when they go for stock photos or stock videos but wikimedia common does have a great library of images so let's just say we want to search up something um i don't know let's say elon musk so we'll search him up and you guys can see these a bunch of different images you can
filter it by audio videos other media but let's just stick with images since images is probably the only thing on here that most people really care about the audio and video are probably more towards like lectures he gave or you know something from conferences or different things like that but let's just say images i wanted like a you know
a headshot of him so let's click this one you guys can see the license over here it's a creative commons attribution share like 4.0 just click that link over there and it will give you all the information about this license all right what you are allowed to do and under the following terms what you have to do
all right so now moving on so yeah then again it's a really great website to check out all right so moving on is stock ball stock vault is a pretty good website i'm not really too fond of their um the whole layout of the website i'm not real i don't really like the ui but then
again that that doesn't uh deter them from providing what they do which is great images all right so let's click on this image you can see all these different types of um formats right you can all the way from 256kb to 68 megabytes uh for this image all right um obviously if you want to have the highest quality
you would get this one all right so now the ext the license it has um different licenses that they allow for i believe you would have to pay for one so let's see this you can click on it to get more information about it but then again they have great really great quality images right um
they probably have one of the best ones in my opinion as well all right so moving on is stock snap so stock snap is another website um that provides stock photos right i don't believe they provide videos uh like the few other ones that i mentioned before
but they do provide great images so clicking on this you guys can see this images over here in this image here by matt bango right the quality gives you some information about the image and the license so this is creative commons 1.0 so no copyright other than other
information that you possibly could be looking for all right so another great website um now is flickr so click is not probably what most people think about when looking for free images um you know you probably think okay that's maybe for paid images or you know just people keeping photos of their
of um their their own photos on here but you know you can actually um get free stock photos or for photos that are on the creative commons distribution um license so let's say nature let's search that up you guys can see really high quality so flickr is probably one of the bigger ones um websites out there that most people have heard of and their quality
is really good also in my opinion so clicking on one of the image let's look at this waterfall or whatever this is and you guys can see um the image so details about the image so let's look at an image where someone took with their photo with their camera so over here which what is really cool
is that you can see which camera took this picture for most photos they have it oops let me go back so uh i wouldn't say most but a lot of photos like uh they'll give you information where it was taken you know what camera was used to what was the settings on that camera which is really nice especially if you're trying to become a photographer
and you can get more information of kind of how to you know somewhat how to replicate this image that someone else took that being said you know it has great style photos as well so look at the license all um change your photos so so okay um this just gives more information about that but you know you
can see the photos uh the um what should i say the copyright over here what the license is and just get more information about it but not only that let's go back to photostream you can also filter it out so we want to go to advanced filters or you probably don't even have to click
that but any license and go to the all creative commons so these are the ones that you are allowed to distribute for free or not just for you but display it on your own websites or use it for commercial purposes right so yeah you can use all these photos just filter it out make sure you have the correct filter and then uh go
on from there all right uh moving on is burst so burst is a website that is used by shop that is made by shopify so you know shopify does have a lot of websites that they do and burst is just they decided to create their own stock photo website which they allow um their user not only their users but you know they
allow their users as well as anyone else to just come and use their photos moving on is unsplash so unsplash is probably one of the most popular one a lot of people probably have heard it um it's you know basically by you know everyone that knows about stock images probably has heard of this
website and mainly because i think they do allow for great images they have a really big library and they also have their api so which allows for free images if you are into that but for stock photos um great images i think overall really high quality really nice so let's click on this image you guys can see really good published which
which camera was used and free to use under the unsplashed license you can go there and see what is allowed and what is not allowed all right but overall this is probably one of the top websites in my opinion to get stock photos all right moving on is adobe's adobe stock
so adobe recently came out with a bunch of stock images that they made completely for free you know it's not something that adobe would normally do or they're known for giving out free things but uh this is one thing that they did give out for free and it's really cool in my opinion really nice as well the thing about these stock photos websites
is that they all have something unique something different so it's it's sticking to one stock site is probably not the best uh you would probably want to go to different ones and search for different kinds of images which uh you know certain ones just have really unique and amazing photos and videos which
you know it might not be your favorite websites but they have it and they have you know all of them have something really good all right uh so moving on pixels so pexels is another great website probably second in my opinion after unsplash right or definitely the top three as well right um great photos the ui is kind of the same also i would
kind of be you know i wouldn't be surprised if they're by the same people but uh who knows that being said great images um great stock images um and the license is really good also so then again you know look at look through it uh they only have images also so no
videos if you are looking for that you you won't find it here but then again um the images are really high quality and pretty much you know you would never be disappointed so let's look at nature again right here really nice pictures let's click into one picture this one scenic photo forest with sunlight more info
tells you the camera information really nice the colors um which software was used to edit this photo it's pretty cool in the details of the image that they give right uh so you can just use it the way you uh you can just know more about it and like you'll know whether it was edited how it was edited what settings
and stuff like that so not all images have that but you know there's a decent amount that do so yeah that's pretty much it these are the top 12 best stock photo websites in my opinion so if you are looking for any stock photos or stock videos definitely check out these websites especially the top three then again like i mentioned they all
have something unique definitely check them out check them out at all um if you have any questions or comments leave them down in the description below if you like this video make sure to give it a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe and i will see you guys next time peace
