Kaboompics got you covered!
And with a little help from our iStock friends we got you covered even more.
See what they have to offer.
What Are Free Stock Photos?
Free stock photos are images you can download and use without paying, often for both personal and commercial projects. They’re usually shared under royalty-free or CC0 licenses and are handy when you need visuals for a blog post, website, presentation, or design — without hiring a photographer or worrying about copyright issues. But not all free photo sources offer the same quality or clarity when it comes to how the images can be used.
Kaboompics is one of those places that works a little differently. All the photos are taken by one photographer and grouped into carefully styled collections. That means they’re not just legally safe — they also share a consistent aesthetic and vibe. There are no random uploads or uncertain origins. Just cohesive visuals you can actually use, with peace of mind and a more curated, personal feel than most traditional stock platforms.
Are Free Stock Photos Really Free?
Yes — but it depends where you get them. Some platforms label photos as “free,” but still require attribution, limit commercial use, or hide restrictions in the fine print. On Kaboompics, all photos are genuinely free to use for both personal and commercial projects — no payment, no attribution, no surprises. You can always check the details here: License and FAQ.
Is Kaboompics Copyright-Free?
The term “copyright-free” is often misunderstood. It usually suggests that an image is in the public domain and no longer protected by copyright — which is very rare. Most high-quality photos, including those on Kaboompics, are still protected by copyright. That’s a good thing, because it means the rights are clear and managed by the photographer.
Kaboompics offers a custom license that lets you use the images for free in both personal and commercial projects — without attribution. You just can’t sell or redistribute the photos as your own. So no, Kaboompics isn’t “copyright-free” in the public domain sense, but it’s free to use under a clear, generous license.
Looking for Free Stock Photos Like Unsplash?
You’re not alone — many people search for sites similar to Unsplash when they need high-quality, free stock photos for their projects. If that’s what brought you here, welcome — you’re in the right place. Kaboompics offers free photos you can use in both personal and commercial work, no attribution needed.
But there’s a small twist. Unlike most open platforms, everything here is created by one photographer — which means consistent quality, cohesive aesthetics, and full control over copyright and licensing. So yes, it’s like Unsplash — just a little more curated.
