Finding license free photos on the internet can be difficult. Many good pictures are not free or not usable for commercial purposes – looking for good ones that are free to use can get exhausting. Therefore, we decided to show you our 5 favourite websites for free images that you can use for PowerPoint presentations (or for anything else).

1. Unsplash

Unsplash is an amazing resource for high-quality images, which can be used for private or commercial purposes and can even be modified. Pictures are distributed by photographers all around the world. Even though crediting isn’t required, it is very much appreciated and a way for the artist to gain more prominence.

2. Pexels

The Pexels-License is simple – you can edit photos as you like and use them for all purposes. Crediting is not required. We adore this resource for its huge variety of categories and professionally shot images.

3. Freerange

Freerange images are distributed by their “in-house”-photographers or by the community. Just like the previously mentioned ones, it is free for non-commercial as well as commercial use – attribution not necessary. You can find all kinds of content in the photos, and the amount grows every day.

4. Creative Commons

CC is a giant network that was built to provide content that is free to use. They provide public licenses and a feature for searching pictures – where you can choose if you want something for commercial purposes, something that can be modified, or both.

5. Pixabay

Pixabay provides tons of pictures (photographs and also great illustrations!) and even videos. They’re being shared by a community. To use Pixabay’s content you do not need permission, and it is free to use for all purposes. Pictures and Videos can be changed and adapted as you would like.

Open Questions

Open questions invite a full, unrestricted response rather than a simple yes or no. They typically begin with words like 'how', 'what', 'why', or 'tell me about'. In presentations, coaching, interviews, and research, open questions encourage deeper thinking, surface underlying perspectives, and generate richer dialogue. They are essential for understanding audience needs, facilitating discussions, and building engagement during interactive sessions.

AI-Powered Workflow

An AI-powered workflow is a business process in which artificial intelligence automates one or more steps that would otherwise require manual work. This can range from simple rule-based automation to fully autonomous agents that plan, execute, and adapt in real time. In communication and marketing teams, AI-powered workflows are used to streamline content production, approval processes, and distribution — reducing time-to-delivery and freeing teams for higher-value work.

Microlearning

Microlearning delivers educational content in short, focused segments — typically between 3 and 10 minutes. Rather than completing a lengthy course, learners engage with bite-sized units that cover a single concept or skill. Microlearning is effective for knowledge reinforcement, mobile training, and just-in-time learning. It fits naturally into busy workdays and is widely used in corporate onboarding, compliance training, and professional development programs.

Learning Management System (LMS)

A learning management system (LMS) is a software platform used to create, deliver, manage, and track educational programs and training. Organizations use LMS platforms to host e-learning courses, manage enrollments, monitor learner progress, and generate compliance reports. Common LMS platforms include Moodle, Cornerstone, and TalentLMS. An LMS acts as the operational backbone of an organization's digital learning strategy, connecting learners, content, and administrators in one place.
