Finding Digital Media

The following sites are usful for sourcing digital content for your Create@UniSQ Site:

  • FlatIcons – Free icons
  • The Noun Project – a great source for icons.
  • Flickr Creative Commons Search – Search Flickr, and then choose Creative Commons only from the Licenses dropdown menu to refine your results.
  • Pixabay – a repository of public domain pictures.
    Pixabay includes photos, videos, illustrations and even music. Licenses vary, so check the images or other content you’re using for the license conditions.
  • Unsplash – a repository of public domain pictures. Unsplash images are typically in the Public Domain and don’t require attribution, but attributing does acknowledge the creator and it’s a nice thing to do.
  • Vecteezy – Free Vector Art.
  • Wikimedia Commons – freely licensed images, sound files, and other media.
  • CC Search is an aggregated search of common sources of Creative Commons licensed materials.

Consider Copyright!

There are some great sources for free videos and images online, however, you must consider your copyright and intellectual property responsibilities whenever you add an video or image to your Create@UniSQ site.

You can read the the UniSQ Copyright Guidelines for Students here.
