Unfortunatly the free-images.cc importer will be shut down on 1st August 2017. We have decided to discontinue our plugin, because we do not find the time to keep it up to date and we do not want to burden you with an outdated, maybe insecure plugin.

Our website ( http://free-images.cc ), however, will stay online and provide marvelous cc0 licenced images for you.

Thank you all for your support! 🙂

Over the last years the creative commons movement gained traction and more and more artists followed the trend of committing their work to public domain. We believe that this will contribute to making the web a better, more beautiful place.

But we don’t want to be one of many. There are several aspects, that will make free-images.cc superior to many other sites out there. Not only do we curate the images and publish only the creme de la creme. Every image is carefully tagged for better discoverability and every photographer is named and honored.

Every free image uploaded here will be under the CC0 Public Domain license. So every image will be free to use for whatever purpose you want!

We are always keen for improvement and new artists, that publish their work under the creative commons public domain license. If you have any feedback or tips for great, free images, drop us a mail at contact@free-images.cc!

This plugin is brought to you by the awesome folks at Luehrsen // Heinrich.

Where are these images coming from?

Why are these images free?
