Welcome to Cost free graphics the lens where you will find links to cost free graphics on the web.

Why pay $$$ for graphics when you can get them free or very cheaply

free graphics centre

Totally free graphics

The first sites linked here will point to places where you can download images absolutely free of charge. There may be some images on the sites that you have to purchase but there are enough cost free graphics to keep you happy!

http://www.freegraphicscentre.com

Thousands of cost free graphics all available fo immediate download. No requirement to sign up or link back when images are used.

I would definitely recommend this site as there are almost no restrictions for use although you should read the terms of use on the site.

It would seem that the site makes it's money through advertising so help out where you can by visiting some of the sites advertising there but only if you are interested in them. This will probably ensure images are regularly added.

Visit www.freegraphicscentre.com you won't be disappointed

unprofound

check out the colour search option!

The next site that I am going to recommend offers some great cost free photographs that can be used for personal and commercial use. No link back is required but appreciated. The thing I really like about this site is that you can search photographs by color. How cool is this !

The site began in 2001, so it must be doing something right. The site is created and run by designers.

Another neat idea on this site is that they provide contributors with their own 'free' online photo portfolio. As well as an optional personal photo, bio and links. You can use this self-contained portfolio website for business or personal use

Happy viewing and downloading!

There are also some engravings on the site that have been scanned from some very old books.

morguefile

not at all creepy

Excellent site for downloading photographs including high resolution versions.

Morguefile has been around for quite a while now. No need to register to download photos but have to register if you want to upload photos to their site. Mixed quality photos some are very good and some like snapshots. Commercial and non-commercial use allowed. Link back not required.

www.morguefile.com

Don't take too much notice of the name, it relates to the newspaper business and isn't at all creepy.
