How to use free running photos

All running images on this page come from Pexels, which distributes them under a permissive license: you can use them in websites, apps, presentations, social media, ads, videos and print without paying and without crediting the photographer (credit is appreciated). Download the size you need: large (about 1,900 px) for web, original for print.

Tips for running imagery

Pick photos with consistent lighting and color temperature so a page feels designed rather than assembled. Compress JPEGs to WebP or AVIF before publishing, add descriptive alt text (for example "Black and white photo of a person jogging along a bridge with a serene river bac") and reserve the aspect ratio with width and height attributes to avoid layout shift.

What you cannot do

Do not resell unmodified photos, do not imply that identifiable people endorse your product and avoid using them in a way that could be offensive to the people depicted.
