Since you are reading this, you are probably a web/graphics designer or someone who needs good quality pictures and images in course of your work for various purposes like marketing communications, presentations, advertising/marketing collateral etc.

No matter why you need such material, if you have ever tried finding it online, I’m sure you will readily agree that you have to either pay (usually through your nose) for such files or spend untold amounts of time finding freebies of an acceptable quality.

If shelling out hard cash is not an option for you, you are left with no other choice but to go freebie-hunting – and suffer the time-loss and frustration normally associated with this activity. To add insult to injury, you may well discover at the end of your toils that the free image that you finally found suitable for your need can not be used for commercial purposes.

If all this sounds familiar to you, you will find a reason to rejoice at 1001FreeDownloads.com. As the name (rather inaccurately) suggests, you can find thousands of images (of various types, listed slightly later in this article) which are not only free/royalty free for you to download but can also be used for commercial/business purposes.

The free downloads available at the site are organized under nine image types and categories, viz. Vectors, Photos, Fonts, Icons, Wallpapers, Brushes, Styles, Patterns and Clipart.

The folks who run this site appear to be big fans of the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, as they have provided prominent navigational links to these nine categories right in the site header, so that you can start browsing/viewing the image types of your interest with just a single click. A keyword search feature is also available to let you search for images and files directly. Another thoughtful feature lets you run keyword searches across all categories in one go, or on an individual category at a time.

One more 1001FreeDownloads.com feature that increases the ease of use is that while they do offer a (free) account registration option, you can actually download the files of your choice without registration/login too, something that you are forced to do at many other similar sites. Furthermore, as any seasoned digital graphics designer/artist will tell you, free vector images are not very easy to come by, yet you will find those a-plenty at 1001FreeDownloads.com. You can view below some of the free vectors available at the site:

To conclude, if you need digital photos or graphics of any kind in course of your work, you can do a lot worse than checking out 1001FreeDownloads.com.
