How to use free startup photos
All startup 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 startup 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 "Three diverse entrepreneurs showcasing their startup ideas with creativity and c") 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.
