When searching for free photos with flexible rights, our main options are Pixabay and Pexels. We can also recommend other image banks (general or specialized), and as a last option there is always Google. However, it would be a mistake to overlook the CC Search engine, which after more than two years in beta finally comes out, providing access to 300 million images (and counting).
One of the first conflicts that any user interested in developing visual content must avoid is that of copyright and distribution. If half the Web was at war over the photo taken by a monkey, imagine the legal mess in which someone could end up for using the wrong image. The quickest and simplest shortcut is to search for photos with a CC0 license, equivalent to public domain. With that license, we can copy, edit/modify, and use in commercial environments without secondary requirements (not even attribution). Now, how do we find that material?
CC Search: The 'New' Free Photo Search Engine
I say 'new' in quotation marks because CC Search has been in beta for over two years, and if we look at the old version of the search engine (still available), it truly needed an update. Its use holds no mystery: Enter the object or situation you want to search for, and once you get the first results, you can apply filters related to their licenses.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, the easiest thing is to select CC0 and let the search engine do the classification on its own. A click on the image will take you to the section where you can copy the HTML code for attribution (if necessary), get technical data about the image, and share it on social networks. CC Search recommends verifying the source to check that the license has not changed.
In summary, the new CC Search is a free photo search engine worth adding to our favorites. Its interface is minimalist and doesn't have the level of detail found in Pixabay or Pexels, but the fact that it does its job well is more than enough for us.
