gratuit's blog

I was recently looking across blogs posts for inspiration for a design; colour was what called out to me. What colour did I (predictably) pick for February? Red. So yeah I fell for it and let Valentine's day take over the focus of the entire month on FreeImages!

Love the Red.

A look back at the Best of 2015

gratuit — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 00:49:23 +0000

Lots of excellent images were uploaded to freeimageslive last year, and some major updates to the site and search have made real improvements for visitors. We've also done lots of work properly cataloguing our house image collection to make images easier to find.

As we've done at this time of year before, here's a retrospective of some or our favourite user uploads

The images here were selected for several reasons, technical merit, usefulness as stock photos, and in some cases just the emotional response they generated.

Thanks to all those who use the site and an even greater thank you to those who have shared their photos. 2016 promises to be a corker of a year!

Best Stock Photos of 2012

gratuit — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 05:16:02 +0000

Lots of excellent images were uploaded to freeimageslive this year making it hard to whittle down the selection to the 25 we've included in this post. The images here were selected for several reasons, technical merit, usefulness as stock photos, and in some cases just an emotional response they generated.

We'd like to thank all those who uploaded images this year, and wish everyone all the best for 2013!

As for the most popular images of the year, well those continue to be the textures, backgrounds and simple object and concept images (frankly a little dull to be honest!) but our image uses certainly find those the most useful.
