awesome-stock-resources

This repository is a curated list of websites where you can find free stock photography, video footage, illustrations, fonts, icons, and other visual resources for creative projects. It is not a piece of software you install or run. Instead, it is a reference document organized into categories, each linking to external websites where you can download assets for personal or commercial use.

The photography section alone covers dozens of sites, grouped by license type: some are fully public domain (CC0), meaning no attribution is needed and you can use the images for anything; others have their own terms that allow free use with restrictions; and a smaller group requires attribution. The list also covers stock video sites, illustration sources, vector graphics collections, background patterns, textures, and color palette tools.

Beyond visual media, the list includes curated font directories and icon sets. Icons are split into icon fonts (which let developers embed icons as text characters) and standalone icon packages. There is also a section for HTML page templates, background sounds, and royalty-free music collections for those who need audio.

The repository is community-maintained: if a link goes dead or a useful site is missing, anyone can submit a correction via a pull request. The author updates it regularly and relies on the community to flag outdated entries.

This kind of list is useful when you are building a website, app, or product and need free assets without legal risk. Instead of searching the web separately for photos, icons, and fonts, you can browse one organized reference. The full README is longer than what was shown.
