I am sure that everyone would love to have pretty photographs for their websites. Also, nobody would like to put their website at risk of copyright violation. But it is not always easy to find the perfect and high-quality photo that matches your content.
So, where do you find beautiful and high-quality free stock photos?
There are various sites that offer stock photos, which are under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. You can use these beautiful photos for both personal and commercial use without attribution and that too, royalty free.
Many websites provide hundreds and thousands of stock photos without any fuss. Some need you to sign up for their websites and they will deliver certain numbers of stock photos every month or week. Whereas some need you to provide attribution to the photographers of the photos you use.
I have tried to ease your high-quality photo hunting. No attribution required. No sign up required. Just go to the website, browse the photos, download the one you like and use it to beautify your website.
