10 free photo websites you should visit when operating a business. How many have you used?

I started writing for the official account in August last year. In addition to the hard work of typing each article, I also worried about its cover picture. If you are working in content or new media operations, you should have the same experience as me: if you want to find a high-definition and stylish cover photo, it will take at least 5-10 minutes.

Whenever I see someone recommend a photo website, I will collect it and try it if I think it’s good. Today, Xiaoxian recommends 10 of the most effective high-definition photo websites from an operational perspective. The image quality of these websites is quite high, most of them are high resolution (high resolution), and most importantly, they are all free!

1. Pexels

This is a website with massive free high-quality picture downloads that I just got from the internet celebrity Awen a few days ago. The site is updated quantitatively every week. The quality of the high-definition pictures is very good and the operation can be used immediately.

Maybe it’s because it’s an English site, the page doesn’t open quickly, but fortunately the way the pictures are categorized is very much to my taste, there are business, architecture, cities, flowers, nature, trees… Even a poor student like me can easily find the high-definition pictures I want.

2. Gratisography

This is the second free English site for high-definition photos that I recommend as a student operator. The pictures in it are updated every week. There are many fashionable and popular photos in it, which are very suitable for use in design projects. Everything else is good. As I said before, the English site is a bit stuck.

3. Pixabay

It is a Chinese photo website that provides copyright-free image materials. You can use any high-definition images on this website for free, whether in digital or print format, for personal or commercial purposes. The search function is quite powerful and can search from 640,000 free photos according to the image type and size you want.

4. it.me

Youmeitu is a quality picture sharing community for women. Because it is UGC, the photos are not as clear as the first three sites. But it's free, and you can experience its categories such as starry sky, anime, cartoons, tattoos... The overall feeling is more two-dimensional and non-mainstream.

5. Giphy

It is an online dynamic GIF image search engine that can quickly search for GIF animation image resources on the Internet through English vocabulary. The overall style of Gif is still funny. If you want to write an article on Valentine's Day and want to use Gif pictures to make fun of single people, you can directly enter dog in the search box of this website, and various styles of dogs will appear.

Warm reminder, if you want to upload the gif of this website to a page or WeChat editor, you need to right-click and save it to the desktop before uploading it.

6. Huaban.com

In "Lack of creativity and inspiration in operations? Just go for them! 》In the article, I said that it is a paradise for designers to find inspiration. It collects the latest and most comprehensive event and poster design pages on the entire network every day. Similar picture material websites include Huaban, ZCOOL, UI Design, UI China, etc.

This article focuses on its photo material function. You can save and use it by right-clicking. The clarity is quite high and the classification is complete. The only bad thing is that most of the pictures are in vertical rectangles.

7. Baidu Pictures

The Internet-wide image search engine has always been criticized for having pornographic images (which can barely be considered small Easter eggs), but it is still quite convenient to search for photos from the entire Internet using keywords, and it has no problem solving most of the image matching needs of operations.

For those who have higher requirements for photo quality, you can filter the photos next to the Baidu search box and select extra large sizes and custom specifications. Here I would like to recommend its brother of Baidu Pictures - Baidu Image Recognition.

8. Weibo Discovery

Ordinary netizens use Weibo to discover entertainment gossip, so as an operator you have to use it to find good pictures. From the Weibo categories, you can quickly browse beautiful pictures of travel, food, cute pets, etc., especially the huge amount of funny pictures, which can easily meet the needs of writing jokes and fu fiction.

9. easyicon

It does a good job of classifying icons. Currently, there are about 276,756 icons and 1,348 icon sets. Sometimes when you want to use a flat style when making a PPT, you can use it to find icons. Just search for Chinese keywords.

For example, if I search for WeChat, I can find various forms of WeChat ICON, and the icon formats are mainly SVG and PNG.

You don't need a lot of tools, as long as you are comfortable using them. When you see good photos, remember to save them in classified folders in time. This will make it much more convenient to use them. Everyone is welcome to recommend the photo websites you think are good in the comment section. The tenth one is waiting for you to add.
