How to find loads of free pics you can use for publications

If you need to find some pics you can use LEGALLY for blog posts and publications, a lot of great pics can be found on Flickr, a photo hosting website.

I redid our MS newsletter with our new brand and needed to find some pics to use with some of the stories.

Flickr has LOADS of pics. Lots of good stuff. Including lots of stuff you can't use legally.

However, if you need some pics that you can use, here is how to find them:

Go to ww.flickr.com

Put whatever you are searching for in the search bar.











Click Search.


You’ll get a bunch of results. DON’T USE THESE.

Instead, click on “Advanced Search”










Next, scroll down and you’ll find a box that says “Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content.” Put a check mark in the box like so…














And click the blue box “SEARCH.”

This will give you all the pics you can use for any topic you need! (in this case the Crucifixion of St. Peter)




ht to Kirk for the blog post idea!
