What sites offer free clip art/graphics/photos for commercial use?
 
Google Images isn't bad because you can filter it based on the licensing type you're going for, but I feel like the selection can be kinda slim depending on what exactly you're looking for. Pexels was also one of my go tos in college when getting stock photos for articles I would write for the journalism organizations I was a part of. I still use it a little bit today for high quality images for graphics too. There were a few others they recommended for us too, and I can't remember all of them, but I feel like Pixabay was one of them.

Pixabay is definitely a nice place, but I don't remember about the commercial license policy?

It looks like if it's something you're planning to sell or distribute exactly as it is on the site or has trademarks/will be used as part of trademarked images, it's not something you're able to use, if I'm reading it correctly. I found the specifics of it here, but probably not the most ideal for commercial use.

They really do try to not take responsibility, right? That's how I'm reading it...you can use these graphics, but probably not for commercial use unless you spend hours searching to make sure you can use it from the third party offering them.
 
Pixabay, Pexels, and Unsplash. These sites provide high-quality images that can be used in commercial projects without any attribution required.
