15+ Sites to Get Free Photos for Your Blog

What does public domain, Creative Common, and Creative Common Zero mean?

Public domain means that the picture is not protected by copyright or is no longer protected by copyright.

Creative Commons means the work is protected by copyright but can be used under certain conditions which each owner of the work can define. A few examples of these conditions are attribution, noncommercial,  and no derivative works.

Creative Commons Zero means the person who created the work has released it into public domain and you are free to use it.

These sites to get free photos fall under public domain and/or the Creative Commons Zero license although some may fall under Creative Commons. Before using these sites I highly recommend that read their user agreements and rules just to make sure you understand them and respect their wishes.
