Royalty-Free Images for Blogs, Websites & Social Media

Social media posts are so much more memorable if they feature a picture. To make your blog articles look great on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc., you, therefore, need to include so-called hero images in your posts. Several sites offer suitable pictures, high-quality and royalty-free. This article provides a list.

No Attribution, Commercial Use & Modification Allowed

The images offered by the sites in this category are licensed liberally. In a nutshell, you can do whatever you want with the images except selling them. Modifications that I sometimes find useful include cropping, and adjustment of colors or contrast.

Commercial Use Allowed (Some Images)

The sites in this category have a subsection with images that can be used commercially. Attribution may be required - please check each image’s license carefully.

How to Convert/Recreate PNG Logos to SVG With Inkscape
Bitmaps tend to have noise and imperfections, especially if they’ve been generated by AI. Vector graphics, on the other hand, trace the outline of elements with elegant curves. Converting from the real world of bitmaps to the ideal world of vectors requires ignoring the actual pixels and seeing an idealized structure instead. That is not something automated conversion tools can do today, at least not those I’ve tested. Instead of converting a PNG to SVG you should, therefore, recreate it in a vector graphics image editor. This article shows how to do that in the free Inkscape.

Should I Have Separate Personal & Professional Twitter Accounts?
That was a question I was asking myself more and more recently. After a bit of deliberation, I answered it with yes. This article summarizes my reasoning. My Twitter History I have been on Twitter for more than 11 years. If I remember correctly, Brian Madden - whose website was extremely popular in the Citrix community at the time - had urged people to join Twitter a little earlier. I responded to Brian’s call and quickly realized that Twitter was a great platform that allows people with a common interest to identify each other and communicate. In my case, that interest was end-user computing, of course, the products and technologies from companies like Citrix or Microsoft. After joining Twitter, at conferences, many of the names were known to me, and sometimes I to them. Getting into contact was so much easier. The major difficulty was recognizing someone from their Twitter profile picture (something we often joked about).

Filebrowser is being archived. As the author writes, the codebase dates back to when he was but 15 years old. Having created such a popular file management tool is a more than impressive achievement for anyone, let alone a teenager. However, when it comes to security and reliability, Filebrowser seems to be built on a less than ideal foundation, so much so that the author states:
