💡 Some things to note:
✅ This isn't a "comprehensive" list... Merely the services I have used!
✅ If you're reading this in the future some sites may no longer be around.
✅ A web search of "free <whatever> resources" will get you where you want to be!
✅ Most of this content is truly free. When in doubt read the license!
✅ Some sites mix free/paid content but they usually provide a way to view JUST free content.
✅ Unless stated, you don't HAVE to give credit, but it's nice if you can! (I'm terrible at this. Don't be ME!)
✅ Some sites may require you to register in order to be able to download, or at the highest resolutions.
✅ Registration usually unlocks lightboxes. Which are super handy. In general I recommend registering!
✅ For most resources, modifications you make are totally OK!
