Below are three sites I use to search for images for my projects.
When searching for an image, many people go to Google, find an image they like, and download or screenshot it for use in their own project. This causes a problem because many images found in a Google Search are not free to use. There are sites you can use to find images though.
Three Sites for Attribution-Free Images
Unsplash (https://unsplash.com/)
Unsplash is a site where you can use their wide library of images. Simply search for what you are looking for. Download the image.
At this point Unsplash makes it very easy to cite the image. All you need to do is copy the image citation.
Finally, drag your image into your work.
Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/)
Pixabay is very similar, but has more image options. Instead of simply photos, it includes drawings and icons.
When you find an image that suits your project, click on it. This brings up the download page. Here you can see the license and the download button.
Open Clip Art (https://openclipart.org/)
This site is close to my heart. I have been using this site since 2007.
Search for your image.
Find one that fits.
Download the type of image.
You will probably want a Large PNG image.
Give these sites a try next time you want to find an image for your project.
