[Taimoor Jutt]

You should go for different websites just to get some quality images for designing. So you should search them by google as well. Or just consult with some graphic designers. There are multiple websites available for this purpose.

As a graphic designer, you will be needing a lot of images, illustrations, vector images, etc. for your designs. It is not possible to create everything you want by yourself, you need to outsource your images, illustrations, etc. If you are a pro, you already know where you can get the images you want. However, if you are just starting you might be looking for recommendations. Here are a couple of sites where you can find anything you wnat.
Stock Photo: It is one of the most popular stock photo libraries. However, this is a paid service. Once you buy the image you wnat, you have all rights including commercial rights
Pixabay: This is a free site, no subscription fees, no pay per image fee. However, if you want you can tip the image creator.
Pixels: This is also a free site, but for better images you need to pay.
FreePik: This is my ideal choice. Even though this is a free platform, you need to pay to access premium serrvices. You can find anything on this site, from, images, illustrations, vector images, even psd files (photoshop documents)

Pixabay happens to be one of the most popularly used by most graphic designer. The quality of their images is top notch excellent and unique. Sometimes, I make use of Getty images, although some of their images are branded which is not good for some works.

Most free image are not clear enough to solve your desire needs. But paid image from paid site will virtually do the work. But if you are a starter u can make use of google. Type image in the sear bar and then click on usable for private and commercial use. You can use it or moderate it to your taste before using it.

I have never used Getty images. I use Pixabay most of the time. The images on Pixabay come with free commercial license. The only problem I have with Pixabay is that the images are widely used and it is difficult to find unique images. I also sometimes use Pixels, Pixes also has a good collection of free images.

These are the steps firstly,Pixabay. Currently, Pixabay is the first website I visit when I need a free stock photo. Unsplash. StockSnap. Flickr. Pexels. Death to the Stock Photo. Snapwire Snaps.

Seriously, that's the challenge most people using Pixabay faces with same images being repeated over and over again because it's all free, making it possible for all to use it. The only way to get unique images is if you go for paid images which another person can still pay for.

Checking for quality image as a graphic designer sometime could be a big deal. It simply depends on the keyword you're using to search for HD (High Definition) type. Keyword really matters alot while searching for image to use for any project. As an example I do include HD or 4k quality as a suffix to the name of the background or image I will be searching for. So in essence good keyword can make succeed finding a better image of your choice.

The problem is that there some other graphic designers who are using such strategies as well in getting images they use for their design work. So, it makes such images being used more than once and very common. If it's possible to design or snap your own images, it's the best.

[WhiteHouse]

Unsplash is the go to with regards to discovering stock photos

However, as an designer, Unsplash can just accommodate the foundation of our plan projects. What about individual realistic vectors that would be utilized as components in our plan. Where do we get that?

Concerning stock vector illustrations destinations, I for one believe that StockUnlimited gives the most for your cash. You get limitless download of all stock photographs for a fixed membership sum. *

Thanks for this wonderful piece, it'll go a long way at least I found a new site to get pictures for my design, I have been using freepik which is good and reliable for me, I'd recommend it to anyone.
About stock photo; does it have PSD mockup feature like freepik?

Frepik is also the best to me. It helps graphics and web designers to locate high quality photos, vectors, illustrations and PSD filesfor their creative projects.

OK...great list, I hope its safe to use those pictures because the technology era we are now, anybody can sue anybody for using their content or product without their knowledge and that won't go we'll for a professional designer.

As a professional Graphics designer, using pictures at times to some of your graphics is very important. You need to have to start by downloading some of the pictures from search engine, edit the picture to whatever you want and insert to your recent Graphics design work.
