CDEarth: Free Digital, Royalty-free, Stock Photos

Professional, royalty-free, digital stock photographs can enhance any project. Whether you are making a Powerpoint presentation, website, personal greeting card, neighborhood newsletter, or sales flyer, make it stand-out with high resolution digital photos. High quality, photography pictures can add color, personality, humor and reinforce a point.

If your website talks about computers for the family, use a photograph of a mother or father working on the computer with their child. If you are making a Powerpoint presentation about the latest quarter's revenue numbers, use a photograph showing closeup of money or a business person smiling. It will certainly summarize and clearly reinforce your point.

Royalty free means you can use free photos in any personal or commercial project. You can find many sites on the Web for royalty free, digital stock photos. In many cases, you will need to pay a one-time fee for the photograph and you will have unlimited rights to use it any way you want and as many times as you want.

Make sure you use high quality, high resolution photographs for projects where the picture will be enlarged or in commercial project where you will sell the item with the photo on it. Some projects like website do not need high pixel quality photos because your visitor's web browser and monitor will like not be able to display the quality. High quality pics will also be large and take a long time for the page to load.
