Absolutely free high resolution images
Feb 3rd
The free stock photography Photl.com has to be one of the best image storage websites there is for high resolution images i have stumbled upon so far.
The images can be used for personal and commercial (online and offline) purposes from a resolution of 1280×1024 to 4368×2912, as specified in the Photl copyright section and the About section.
There is a special feature added to the search box; when looking up a keyword, you can also set the color for the images you would want to have displayed.
Try a search with the keyword “office” and check the blue colour. Your image results should turn…blue.
Extra information:
The images can only be downloaded after signing up, which is a very short process.
Photl is available in 8 languages and it contains at the moment 159 615 images. Plenty to choose from for your next project.
There is a download limit of 45 mb per day.
The most popular tags are being displayed on the home page.
Enjoy it!
