Pixabay
Pixabay is very similar to Pexels but this one offers a more extensive catalogue. In addition to images and videos, there are vectors, illustrations, music and sound effects The search engine offers filters by type of content; there is an search option to choose between photos, vectors, illustrations or videos.
Unsplashed
Unsplash has very (very) high quality images, which can be filtered by orientation (landscape, portrait, square). You can also search images by author; So if you have previously used images by a specific author, you can later search for this same author and thus find images of a specific style or the same photographic line. The search engine allows you to select trending searches, trending topics and trending collections. The bad side to Unsplash is because it is so good – it is very well known and you may find the images you select on more than one website.
Wunderstock
At Wunderstock you will find high quality images, but much less variety than the image banks above. When you enter a word in the search engine, it will give you the possibility to filter by license. You have to select “Public Domain”. The platform also allows you to select the source (Wunderstock or Flickr) and the orientation (landscape, portrait, square).
