When you begin to build your blog, you will learn the importance of using high quality stock photos. This list will give you a bunch of places to find free feminine stock photos that you can use on your blog!
Stock photos are becoming increasingly more important because we are visual learners. Most people don’t want to sit and read through thousands of words with no visuals or images!
This is why we use stock photos – to break up our text and provide visual relief to our readers. Without them, it becomes easy to lose your place in the article, and becomes overwhelming to the reader!
If you are not a photographer, you might want to consider getting some stock photos. While many of them are paid, there are tons of places you can find high quality, FREE stock photos!

Most bloggers use Canva for stock photos. Canva offers hundreds of thousands (maybe even millions) of stock photos for users. Many of them are free, though if you are a Canva Pro member, you get access to a LOT more.
I am a Canva pro member and I guarantee you will love it! The amount of extras you get access to, not just counting stock photos, is INSANE. If you are a blogger, you will inevitably end up becoming a member. You can sign up for free here and instantly start using stock photos!

Why do Bloggers need free stock photos?
Aside from the reasons I mentioned above, bloggers need to use stock photos for legal reasons. You CANNOT simply download any image off the internet and use it in your blog posts.
This can lead you to get tied up in legal issues, which no one wants to deal with! If you do happen to see an image on the internet you want to use, simply reach out to the owner and ask permission to use it.
However, most of the time you will not get a response. Do not take this as a reason to go ahead and use the image anyway. Simply find a different picture to use!
You could opt to take your own pictures for your blogs. Original images are best, considering they are unique and fresh- no one wants to see the same images on the internet over and over again, which is something that often happens when using stock photos.
However, this takes a LOT of time, especially if you are not a photographer, which could lead to blogging burnout.
Instead, take the time to find a handful of free feminine stock photos you love. This will save you a TON of time and energy, as bloggers tend to use a lot of images.
Where can bloggers use free stock photos
When you find a free feminine stock photos site to use for your blog, they will likely give you a disclosure telling you where you can use the images.
A general rule though is that you can use stock photos pretty much anywhere, as long as you are not selling them. This means you can use stock photos:
- Within your blog posts
- In your email newsletters
- For advertising purposes
- In your Pinterest pins
- Anywhere on your website
- And for anything except selling the original images
Always make sure to double check the terms and policies, though, so you don’t get into any legal hassles!
Where to Find free feminine stock photos
Many bloggers opt for free feminine stock photos because many niches tend to have a female-dominated audience. Here are some websites you can use to find free stock photos to use on your blog!



One of my favorite free feminine stock photos sites is Kaboompics.com. She consistently updates her website with high quality photos that you can download with a click of a button!
I use her images all the time in my Pinterest pins, which help me to create click-worthy pins that my readers love!
She offers a lot of different types of stock photos, but seems to specialize in feminine images, which is perfect for most bloggers!
Here, you can find all of your flower, desk, laptop, makeup, etc. stock photos that will go perfectly with your niche!



Another one of my favorite ways to get free feminine stock photos is by using unsplash.com. This website is one of the more popular stock photo websites, next to Canva.
They offer a variety of free and paid stock photos for virtually any niche or topic, so you can search through and find almost anything you could possibly need!
Images are really easy to download- all you need to do is click the download button- no sign up necessary!
I also use these images on my websites and Pinterest pin images, as they always have what I am looking for in a pinch!



Another website full of free feminine stock photos is pexels.com. They offer a wide variety of images from different niches.
Just like the other websites I mentioned, no signup is necessary. All you need to do is click the download button on each image you want, and that’s it!
Using images from a variety of websites will ensure you are using images that are new to your audience, so they don’t get tired of seeing the same pictures over and over!



Pixabay.com is another website you may be interested in to find free feminine stock photos! It is set up pretty much just like all the other stock photo websites I listed above- no sign up is necessary, just click the image you want to download, and that’s it!
You may find that some of these websites offer the same stock photos. This is normal, you just need to try to remember which ones you have already so you don’t download duplicates! This can be tricky, but it is so worth it to try different websites because they all have different images!



Shopify also has free feminine stock photos you can use for your blog. Again, it is set up just like the other websites, making it super easy to download high quality images.
Using high quality stock photos is one habit of successful bloggers, as they provide the reader with a unique experience! You can never really have too many stock photos, so download any and all images that catch your eye!



IvoryMix is another website you can use to find free feminine stock photos. Her website is a bit different that the others I mentioned above.
For this website, you must sign up through her email to get access to the free stock photo library of over 550 images!
Because this website is a smaller business, many bloggers like to support her efforts!
