In 2009, I started a stock media company with a single vision: to provide premium creative content that everyone could afford. This idea grew into VideoBlocks, followed by the launch of GraphicStock and AudioBlocks. Now, we’re adding millions of photos to our new image Marketplace and it’s time to bring our expanding libraries together as Storyblocks.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Formerly Graphic Stock, newly-renamed and upgraded, Storyblocks is an improved one-stop-shop for high quality stock media at a fraction of the cost, with millions of images, videos, audio clips, and more! A favorite tool, modestly priced and highly recommended. 9.5/10

You can easily search for the subject you are looking for and select from the image results your favorite ones for immediate download. No registration or login is required. 100% free.

Be warned. My comment: Very useful resource for finding image cutouts of objects that can be integrated in existing layouts or photographs thanks to their having a trasparent background.
