Last updated on 12 May 2026

Choosing a good image to illustrate an article on a blog School or university is a key asset to improve the attractiveness of a publication. Respecting copyright is a rule that should not be forgotten to transmit even if it complicates the search for images.

I had already presented here. 5 online resources to find royalty-free images. Here is in addition to this first list, 10 sites that will allow you or your students to find free images for your blog.
