Find & Source Images
Instructions:
Use royalty-free images
Avoid downloading images directly from Google Images, as they may be copyrighted. Instead, use royalty-free images or purchase licensed images to make sure you have permission to use them.
Find free images with Unsplash
- Go to Unsplash.
- Search for the type of image you need.
- Browse the available royalty-free images.
- Download the image you want to use.
Tip: Unsplash is a great option for landscapes and general-purpose images. Some images are part of Unsplash+, which requires a paid subscription.
Use stock photo websites for more specific images
If you need more niche or professional images, consider using stock photo websites such as:
- Shutterstock
- Adobe Stock
These platforms offer a wider range of images, but you’ll need to purchase them or use a subscription.
Tip: If available, download the watermarked preview first to check that the image suits your website before purchasing the full version.
Optimise your images
Before uploading any image to your website, make sure it has been optimised. This helps your website load faster and improves overall performance.
Tip: Follow the image optimisation tutorial before uploading your images.
That’s all!
You’re now ready to find and use high-quality images for your website. Happy building!
