Sites with free stock pics???

[Orb]

Hello there

I'm creating this thread because I have a question to answer before going further with my project: I'm using stock pictures from freepik.com (such as landscapes and things like that) for my MV game. The website says that all images are free to use for commercial projects as long as I give credits to either the author (if showed) or to freepik. I wonder if this is actually true. Most of the pictures I've seen there are high quality and look very professional, so it makes me think if it's realistically possible that artists actually give their work that easily to such a website for the public to use it as they want.

Do you have the same problem? Have you used pictures from free-stock websites? (if so, which one would you recommend me to use?) Do you know if freepik is a reliable page in terms of copyright?

I mean, it's probably true. Though I don't know for sure, so take my thought with a grain of salt.

I hope it's true. I've used it a couple times.

Do you need stock photos or stock images, like clip art, icons, etc.?

Freepik is a freemium site. If you credit the artist, it's free, but you can pay and then not credit. Some images are only available if you have subscribed. Note, though, that where it sends you to an external site, there is no monitoring of the download for phishing etc., so be cautious about where you end up and use your usual discretion about giving sites any personal information.

kinda both, but stock photos mostly

What a relief! That's good to know, thank you very much
