StockSnap is a web library of high-resolution stock photos for websites, brochures, ads, and other creative projects. Users can search images, browse tag-based categories, and explore recently added or trending photos. Downloads are free for personal and commercial projects, with no premium tiers or subscriptions. Photos use a CC0 license, allowing copying, editing, and sharing without required attribution. StockSnap provides images as-is, and commercial use may still require model or property releases for depicted people or protected works. Accounts let users favorite photos and let photographers submit work. New photographers can initially submit up to five photos, with submissions reviewed against quality guidelines. StockSnap recommends landscape images of at least 1920 by 1280 pixels and requires submitters to own photo rights. The site has no current API, though it invites contact about an early access list. It also links to separate image tools and a Shutterstock promotion.
Who it is for
It suits anyone needing free stock imagery for personal or commercial creative work. Photographers can also use accounts to submit images, subject to the submission limits and review process.
