Free Graphics, GIFs and Pictures

for your Website

 Return to Master Index 

 

 

Images can make or break a page. Your goal should be to use images to add some life to your page. On one hand, you don't want to overdo it since the images could totally overshadow the content of your pages and slow them down considerably. On the other hand, you want your pages to have enough visual appeal to attract people and keep them interested. If you can balance these things, then you will probably have a successful website! Here are our selected links where you can get free images.

Caboodles Caboodles is one of the best places out there for icons, animated or not. There's lots of great images here, but not so many that you have to search through links just to get to images. You can browse, because there are not too many - just enough to flavor your website.

Online Logo Creation You get a free logo. There are various text styles, and you have to have a program that will do screen captures (Such as paint shop pro), it's instant, and can satisfy your need for a logo as long as you don't expect too much.

Duthead's Banner Creation You get a free custom banner for your site. There are a large variety of backgrounds you may choose, and you can kind of describe what you want. He just asks that you sign his guestbook.

Beta X Project A large handful of animated GIFs and fonts.

The 1st Internet Gallery of GIF Animation Lots of animated gifs, however the frames are obnoxious.

Original Animated GIFs Lots of animated GIFs organized fairly well.

Mikey's Collection of Animated GIFS A fair sized collection of animated GIFS.  There isn't any organization, it's split into a few pages and the larger images or linked to, while the smaller images are displayed on the different pages. It's set up so you can browse it, and it doesn't take forever to load because a lot of the images aren't displayed on the pages. It's a pretty good page for animated graphics.

Mike's backgrounds This site has a few backgrounds, all of them thrown onto the main page.  There is no organization, however there's not too many and it doesn't overwhelm you. There are some nice backgrounds here.

Q & B Enterprises This place has tons of backgrounds. They aren't organized very well at all, however there are some really neat looking backgrounds here. The main site says they haven't finished "moving in" yet, however the background pages linked to from it seem to work just fine. They also have bars, email gifs, flower gifs, and a some other stuff like that.

Brown Bag Graphics This page has lots of backgrounds, animated graphics, and horizontal lines. There is some organization, however it's not the best on that. The backgrounds are however organized pretty well.

The Clip Art Universe This page has tons of clipart. Animated, not animated. It's organized fairly well.

Graphics by Susan Lots of graphics. Everything from lines and targets to backgrounds.

Boogie Jack Lots of backgrounds including left or right border backgrounds. One of the best background sites there is on the net!

Barry's Clip Art Lots and lots of clip art for your site.

TextureStation Hundreds of backrounds organized by color.

Imaging Machine This site is excellent for editing your images. If you don't have a high priced graphics program like Photoshop, this is a place that has lots of filters so your images can still look just as good.

The Web Help Page! Free custom images. You just fill out the free image form and describe what you want.

XOOM Clip art XOOM is actually a really good free webspace provider, however they also offer over 75000 images for anyone's use. (Not restricted to members) They have animated and non animated. It breaks down into catagories. It was meant to be used to find what you're looking for, it's rather difficult to "browse" it, but well worth the time spent!

Ender Design: Realm Graphics An excellent site for finding more specialized images, such as lines and bullets. Well organized, lots to offer. Backgrounds for example, are divided into a dozen catagories such as brushed, photo realistic, and patterns.

Gif Wizard Shrinks the size of gifs drastically. I find that I can reach nearly a 50% reduction without the gif losing quality. However, there's no magic percent. They have now gone to a pay service, but they give out free trials. There's nothing to keep you from just signing on as a new member everytime you want a gif reduced.

The FREE Logo Shop They hold a weekly contest and the winner receives a free logo.

Holiday Webpage Graphics A list of sites that offer Christmas graphics. Great place to go if you want to deck your page with boughs of holly!
