Free Images You Can Be Proud Of
Feb 29th
Royalty free stock photos mean either of two things – you stole it from someone or some website or it’s really crappy. It takes considerable time to search for decent “public” images that you can proudly use with your blog or website. EveryStockPhoto wants to change that. EveryStockPhoto has a very straightforward business model. In fact they describe themselves in one line – ” We are a search engine for free photos.” Currently indexing more than 2 million images EveryStockPhoto is definitely one of the most comprehensive image search destinations online. Using their service anyone can save hours to look for that perfect picture to go with their article.

The huge database of images gives EveryStockPhoto to have considerable authority over the online imaging community. Instead of searching the top 10 free picture websites user can use one service for all their imaging needs. So what can we expect from them in the future? ”Everystockphoto.com aims to become a leading portal for the stock photography community, and will be adding features, and increasing our index over time.” They already include images from most major providers and have added NASA and Wikimedia to that list. If you search for pictures often, a Firefox add-in will add EveryStockPhoto search engine. Go to their About page and click Tools on the left sidebar.
