Free image assets available at Unsplash can supplement our Adobe Stock assets.
What do I do when I don’t have an image?
Unsplash is a resource shared by a member of the Adobe Education Exchange. I can’t remember his name but he helped me more than he will ever know. It is a wonderful addition to our Adobe Stock resource.
As an instructional designer, I find that I only have so many hours in the day. I wish I could capture all of the images I want and need but it is not possible. So, I joined Unsplash. The entry page on the site describes the mission. Gifted artists who share unconditionally. Those who are photographers may choose to join as contributors. I smile when I visit this site always finding inspiration and, usually, an image that works.
For those of us in education, many images are posted by members of the Adobe Education Exchange that are also available for use. In other words, we have many options, Adobe Communities, Adobe Creative Cloud Stock, Unsplash and…when there are enough hours in the day…we may find we are able to take our own beautiful images. I look forward to discovering more resources as those here share them!
I also use a website to download png images. It contains transparent background images for free personal and commercial use:
Here is a list of sites that offer png images for free to download without any watermark
It depends on your requirement some image website are not providing high quality images. But now there are good websites available in the internet with good images. I always use
to download icons and pngs. I hope these links helps you to find images.
I’ll second Freepik.com I’ve found them to be a good source for vector graphics.
If you’re looking for quirky pictures, Gratisography.com is a good source.
I used several sites for free images and animations. Here are some:

Have also a look at this blog, which lists up several sites for vector graphics (I love SVG import, convert them to SVG with AI)

Thank you Chris for the comment and for the resources. I did have a pixbay account but assets are not free on that one for me. Stickpng and piktochart were new to me. Thank you!
