A free stock image collection where you can search by theme for illustrative photos, videos, music or graphic elements for graphic design. The free content is largely in general categories, e.g. parents, school, while the images or videos searched for are specific to a particular topic, e.g. Covid, often only available after subscription. Images and videos can be downloaded in different sizes, depending on the purpose of use, and can even be shared directly from the repository to other applications. You can also upload content yourself after registration or if you have a Google or Facebook account.
In the main menu, you can choose whether you want images, videos, music or vector images, and then type in the topic you want content for in the search box to see all the relevant results. From there you can choose and what you select can be downloaded to your computer for free, and in the case of photos, in a variety of sizes and formats. Before downloading, we can give you automatic feedback in the form of a thank you. Users registered on the site or with a Google or Facebook account can, after logging in, upload their own content, which others can also use without restriction.
