Truly Free Stock says on their website: “It’s true! The photos on this web site are truly free. This is not like one of those stock photo sites where the ‘free’ really means ‘royalty free.’ All stock photos here are truly free. Therefore the name: Truly Free Stock™.
So what’s the catch? The only catch is that you may not use these images in their original form or in an edited form on web sites that are considered to be on the dark side by us. And, have a heart, do not hotlink directly to any of our images. Those are the two most important rules. You can read the rest of the legalese in our terms and conditions.”
