Photl.com – Download Free Photos for Commercial Use!

Doesn’t it often get difficult to find a good photo for your website or blog? In an earlier post, I had written about a free photo library and how it could help designers, artists, and bloggers find the right image. Today, I’ve got better news for you. Adding to the list is one more photo laboratory called Photl.com – a huge collection of free, high resolution photos (Free Stock Photo Images). The best part is that all photos on the site are available for a free download and can be used for personal as well as commercial purposes! Isn’t that awesome?

Free commercial use of photo images for unlimited circulation in:

  • Books, newspapers, posters, magazines, catalogues, booklets, brochures and other printed matter
  • Congratulatory, advertising and other postcards
  • Various packing

  • In the form of elements of design of sites, electronic and video publications
  • On cups, T-shirts, mats, toys and other physical products
  • In the electronic mass media

I personally like this site. The massive library of images allow you to find the right picture for a lot of commercial / non-commercial purposes.

You could use its search feature to easily locate the picture you have been looking for… just remember not to type in keywords that are too specific. It won’t yield any results. Try and be as generic as possible. For example, words like ‘metal’, ‘food’, and ‘paint’ would give you plenty of results, but if you are looking for something like ‘a crying baby’ it gives you nothing.

Give it a try and let us know if it helped.

You’re welcome.

@Swati
Thanks for the post. I really liked the “similar photo” suggestion feature, especially the “white background” option.

They have picked up the user behavior correctly and put it nicely in the overall usability of the site.

The results are amazing. I think my visits to other photo search engines are over. I will not need to go anywhere else now.

🙂
