Free iimage is enough, why should I pay for something which can easily be downloaded?
We can create our images too.

I have always used the unsplash and pixabay so never thought about need of buying the images. I would most likely use the unsplash images as much as possible.

I am aware that as much as possible, we should be using our own photos or images in our blog. However, for some reason such as, we might not be born with skills in photography, we opted to use online images. Are you using the free images that can be found online or you buy the needed image for your blog? Please share the sites where you get the images.

Most of time I am using free images some time my own

I have a blog and there I only use my own images but when I need images to use in other sites, like in writing ones sometimes I use free images from Pixabay. I have never bought images online.

Unless you are creating graphics and earning money from your graphic, I don't think you have to pay for images. There area lot of sites where you can find images for free and you can use these images any way you want. Some even give you th rights to modify and distribute commercially.

I gather images online through a special site which is daily updated by users and most beautifull pics are selected and rewarded there

I go for free images! Well why I prefer buying images! If it's available for free!👍

If you are a designer, using free images that have been used multiple times might make your design low quality

[bestwriter]

Having a passion for photography my digital photo folder is busting at the seams However there are times where what I write on may be different from my photography subjects and when that happens I get free images giving due credit

I am a photographer, designer, and blogger so I have never bought anything from any sites which sell photos. I have even provided/contributed to various websites that offer free as well on cost images. Some of them include Pexels, Pixabay, Canva, Unsplash, etc. I must admit that I have never been able to sell any photo as yet nor bought any. (Incidentally, I am a star contributor at Flicker, another image provider)

I have tried selling pics before with Picfair but I am an amateur and can't compete with some of the fantastic professionals there. However I do like having my pictures on their site and putting a price on them even though I know I will probably never sell one and it is completely free to set up your own albums. I don't buy pics myself but use free images from Pixabay.

There are always a lot of free images that one can leverage them on the internet. I only buy stock illustration.

Though we don't have a site yet,what we normally do to promote our product and services is t use social media space and promote our business.I had a discusion with my brother sometime past about some image to use for our promotion,he was with the opinion that we should use any related photos online while i opted for an original photo made by us.

[Mika]

Unless you are receiving money for creating graphics (selling your designing services), I do not think you should be paying for images. You can get high quality images for free on many sites.

[sethbala11]

I think if you want to do basic things like creating a blog post or an e book then then you should well go for free images.

[Tyrim88]

The things we normally do,is to compliment what we already have in our reserve when we want to do a promotion or awareness.We go for some free images to support ours.

[Pousinha]

When I don't use the photos I personally took or the drawings I personally did to complete my e-books and articles to publish, I go for free, but only using legit images 100% copyright free. I don't like to steal online material covered by copyright.

[Debzy5459]

Most I do like to go for free stuff if I get the opportunity to have it if I want to go for buying image, will first the quality and the quantity of the image but I prefer to go for free image.

[Alive20]

I have not bought images till date. I don't like to spend on stuff as simple as images.

[MattTolentino02]

I work for cakeandlace.com, and we have never purchased online a single photo (even once). The most common sites where we borrow photos from are Unsplash, Pexels and Pixabay. What I love about these sites is that their photos do not show watermarks.
