5 Quality Sites for Inexpensive Stock Photography

Stock photography doesn’t have to be corny and dated. Take a look at these options.

Question: What site would you recommend for quality, inexpensive stock photography to use on your website or blog when needed?

Envato Marketplace

"I've found the best cost/benefit on stock images/video/audio is the Envato Marketplace. While there are some cheaper and definitely many that are more expensive, Envato simply has the best overall value."


WE Stock United

"Each of us has diverse customers and we serve diverse communities. The people who buy from us want to see themselves reflected in the photos we use to market to them. WE Stock United provides affordable, royalty-free stock photography that celebrates and honors all ages, shapes, abilities, and colors. That's why it's my choice."


Pixabay or Getty

"Though I would recommend signing up for an account with a site like Getty if you can afford it, Pixabay is an excellent (and free) alternative. And with a library of almost 800,000 images, you're likely to find at least a few that suit your purposes. You might also consider searching Flickr. Though it's not a stock photo site, it still offers many still high-quality, royalty-free images."


iStock

"We use iStock for all of our images. There are different levels and subscription or one-off pricing, but you can almost always find something that is really god for not much money. And it's part of Getty so it has a huge catalog compared to some of the other sites we have tried."


Canva

"Canva, although primarily a design platform, has great stock photography for 1 dollar each. The best part is that you can size the image and add optional text and design elements before downloading."
