One more useful tool for finding free images is Unsplash. All of their photos can be used for free, even for commercial purposes, and even for adapting or modifying. You don’t need to ask for permission or give credit to the photographer, though it is a nice gesture to do so.2

Unsplash’s collections are particularly strong in beautiful photos of landscapes, architecture, and astronomy. You can find many other types of images there as well. You can search by entering keywords on their home page, or you can browse collections that others have made at https://unsplash.com/collections. These large, beautiful photos often work well for desktop backgrounds on your computers or mobile devices. If you make a free account, you can save your “liked” photos, and also make your own collections of photos you find there.

When you are on the results screen for a search, look for the terms across the top, under the search box. These are keywords that appear in the photos you’ve found, and you can click on them to narrow your search. For example, after search spiral staircase, you find terms such as stairwell, architecture, library, and more.

Unsplash also has a mobile app for iOS.3 This makes it easy to find photos for use in creative projects directly on your iPhone or iPad. If you use the Chrome browser on your computer, you might enjoy the Chrome extension, called Unsplash Instant. Find it at https://instant.unsplash.com. With this installed, each new tab that you open contains a random image from Unsplash as its background. If you like a particular photo, there is an easy way to save it, with a download button superimposed on the photo.
