This is a great site – and is actually a bit of a gem when it comes to visual content. Forget static images, this is where you can get a free video to liven up your website! You just download your chosen video, upload it to your site and then upload the snippets they provide. All videos are covered under the CC0 licence.
You can sign-up to receive free high-quality images each month (signing-up will also give you access to a Bonus Pack of x10 images).
