Creative Commons images are in demand for website content managers who need photos or pictures to illustrate the latest post such as a football picture for a sports blog.

How to Search?
Enter your search terms at the top of Creative Commons Image Search page. Click on the tab for the service of interest (e.g., Google Images) and check the displayed results. The search is restricted to pages that hold images under a "commons" license but always check that the image you choose has a license appropriate to your usage (e.g., allowed for commercial use or modification). Once you find the image it is a free download or you link to the image.If you want to add free audio clips to your web page or blog go to the Free Sound Project website.
