Imageric.com – Thousands of absolutely free photos, vectors and videos
imageric.comEVERY image and vector I found while searching on this site was FOR SALE via ShutterStock (i.e., NOTHING was free)
No privacy policy, no explainer of biz model, About page points to FB (I'm not on it), monitored with Avospy.com ..
No thanks, I'll stick with wikimedia :)
It's just a huge Shutterstock advertisement.
Search for anything: say, guinea pig.
The 'Best Free Stock Photos of Guinea pig' list is just the same set of photos seen on the front page. Not a single cavy in sight!
That is either a huge bug (ouch!) or just plain old bullshit.
They do conveniently show you 'Best Royalty-Free Stock Photos of Guinea pig' which all redirect to Shutterstock.

Unsplash [1] is a nice alternative that I’ve checked out a few times. Use for any purpose is free. No attribution required (though it’s recommended). It has proper documentation on the license, privacy policy, etc. There are even apps available to browse, download images from the site and use. Anybody can contribute images to it.
P.S.: I’m not associated in any way, except as an end user, with Unsplash or any other photo/image service.
