Unsplash

Unsplash is a Montreal-based online platform that offers a vast library of high-resolution, royalty-free stock photography for both commercial and non-commercial use.

Founded in 2013, it has grown into one of the leading photography websites, featuring over 5 million photos contributed by more than 330,000 photographers. Unsplash was acquired by Getty Images in March 2021 and continues to operate independently. The platform provides a searchable database of free images covering various topics, including nature, architecture, and culture. Users can download images without permission or attribution, although attribution is encouraged. Unsplash also supports a community of indie photographers, allowing them to upload and share their work, which is curated by a team of photo editors. Additionally, the Unsplash API enables over 1,200 web applications to integrate its image library, making it a valuable resource for creative professionals, major brands, and the general public.
