Unsplash is a website dedicated to sharing copyright-free photography under the Unsplash license. The website claims 25,000 contributing photographers and generates an estimated 1 billion photo impressions per month.Unsplash has been cited as one of the world’s leading photography websites by Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, CNET, Medium and The Next Web.
Unsplash allows photographers to upload photos to its website, which are then curated by a team of photo editors. The permissive copyright terms on its photos has led to Unsplash becoming one of the largest photography suppliers on the internet,[7] with its members’ photos frequently appearing on articles.
Other uses for Unsplash art include album art, advertisements, and product art for companies.
One of the pioneers of the copyright-free photography model,Unsplash was created in 2013 by Montreal-based entrepreneur Mikael Cho. While creating a new homepage for his company Crew, Cho was unable to find a suitable stock photo and hired a photographer instead. Afterwards, Cho posted the outtakes from his company photoshoot on Tumblr, inviting people to use them as they saw fit. Unsplash photos are covered by a Creative Commons zero license, which is a public domain equivalent license and a waiver. This allows individuals to freely reuse, repurpose and remix photos for their own projects. Unsplash received more than 50,000 visits on its first day.
While Cho supplied the first batch of Unsplash photos, the site is now sustained by community contributions from amateur and professional photographers. Due to the volume of photo submissions, the site employs an editorial team and “curators” picked from the Unsplash community, including Guy Kawasaki, Nas, Khoi Vinh, Amanda Hesser and Om Malik.
All photos published on Unsplash can be used for free. You can use them for commercial and noncommercial purposes. You do not need to ask permission from or provide credit to the photographer or Unsplash, although it is appreciated when possible.
