Find & Use Images: Free Images Online

Flickr hosts amateur & institutional photos. Many are freely available to use.

• Flickr Commons allows you to search for images with no copyright restrictions.
• Flickr also allows for searching through images with a creative commons license. After running a search, use the limiter in the top left hand side of the screen to choose an appropriate license.​

Wikimedia Commons is a site that hosts images, audio, video, & other files.

While Wikimedia is indexed by Google Image Search, it is faster to search this source. To find images that can be lawfully used, click on the media file to take you to the information for that file (see example below). This will list information supplied by the uploaded including copyright status and license conditions.
