Hi there. In this video we're going to look at free images.
By free I mean commercial use.
Phrase you can use them for work and business.
Okay. This is the thing we looked at in the last video,
called Adobe Stock and it costs
around $10 to about $30 depending on the license you need.
Let's look at free stuff where there's no budget.
Free images is probably one of the most popular free images with an s.com.
In here I'm going to type in flowers and you will find a lot of good quality images.
Now when using the site,
you need to ignore all of these images because these are paid ones.
They put them over here as ads,
it's how the site makes its money.
What you need to do over this side is relevancy is fine.
It's giving me good images,
but I find I get better equality results if I get most downloaded.
Brings the ones to the top that are being downloaded the most.
I often find the quality can be better.
In this case, maybe he's not as great, but trust me,
you'll find switching it from relevancy to most element it often works.
What you want to do is now one of the things is
that all the image sizes are a little bit different.
Say you want this one here, you click on it,
you'll see that it is a certain size.
You can't get mess of one sometimes,
sometimes they're a little bit smaller.
You could download.
You're going to have to sign up. It's free.
You can see it is 1,200 pixels across,
not huge, but sign-in and download it.
It's free to sign up and that's a good place for free images.
It's another place you can go just go to Google.
Let's type in roses.
But let's go to images, okay,
now you can't just pick any of these images.
Why? Because you don't have the license to use them,
but there is an option in here to search by
images that have licenses to use commercially.
It's under settings and you can say note on a sittings got tools.
I've clicked on images, clicked on tools and he says user rights and I
can say labeled for reuse or reuse with modification.
This means I can use it as is this means I can use it
but also go and doctorate in something like Photoshop.
These ones here can be used if you are
a non-commercial use some may be education or news.
Okay, but we'll then like probably entity
one for commercial use and you go label for use.
You'll find these good quality stuff in here.
You also might do is go to where it says Size and say I
don't want the large ones because I don't want to deal with low quality stuff.
Free Images or using Google images to get commercial used stuff.
Now let's move onto Icons.
Icons, there is a lot online of free stuff.
Most of its junky clip art from
the nineties but I like this site here called Icon finder.
Because let's say I need an icon for a leaf.
What I can do is make sure over the side here,
okay, by default, it doesn't have any of these things turned on.
It's just because of being working on this before.
I'm going to try and go back to how it is by default, any.
This is what it looks like. There's lots of them here.
Now if you do want to pay for an icon,
totally helped us side out.
You can spend a $ on an icon, that's fine.
But let's say you're doing it and super budget, let's go to free.
Where it says licensed type,
you want to pick this one here for a commercial use,
but with no back-link.
This one he has his commercial use,
but you have to add a link to the site
somewhere in your document to say that that's where it came from.
I'm going to get to know back-link.
These are the icons that I get to use,
for free commercial use.
It's not as many. There's different things like if I click on the way home,
I need a Home icon.
Same commercial use.
Say it needs to be any doesn't have to be vector.
There is a lot to pick from.
What I really like about,
Icon finder is that often a part of groups.
Let's say that I decide that I really like this icon here.
I'm just picking randomly pick one then,
that one, the terrible one.
You can see that it's actually part of another group of icons.
Probably not that great.
Let's look at this one. Not a terrible one but you can see it's a group of
other free dead used commercial fonts, commercial icons.
It means that, often if you're working for one icon,
you'll need a group of them.
That my friends is free images and free icons.
Let's move on to the next video.
