How to find and download free stock images online [Tip]

phone-690091_640If you are looking for free images that you can download, use and publish alongside with your digital products and posts, then you can refer to this short but useful guide.

The main advantage of using a free stock image is that you can use it commercially even without giving credits or attribution. Apparently, nowadays, you can’t just use any image that you’ve downloaded from Google Image Search or from other sites as the image itself may be subject to copyright.

To be safe, you can either use your own photos (photos that you took using your own camera) or the free photos that you can find from the following sites.
