Any business owner knows that one of the toughest parts of social media marketing is finding the perfect image to accompany your post on social media.
So, today, I’m going to show you where you can find free stock images to use in your social media posts!
It’s no secret that visual content gets the most engagement on social media than any other type of content, but what does this mean for you? It means that every post you share on social media should be accompanied by an image.
But finding high-quality free stock images to use in your social media images can be incredibly time-consuming.
So, to help you say a swift ‘bye-bye’ to this headache of a task, we’ve put together a list of awesome sites where you can find industry-specific free stock images for your health or wellness business (or any business for that matter).
In fact, we use many of the free stock images from these very websites in our ready-made social media images – a great alternative if you’re looking for something a little less time-consuming.
Don’t forget to bookmark this post for easy reference whenever you’re searching for your next social media posts. To help you quickly find what you’re looking for, we’ve also included direct links to view some keyword-specific images for each website.
Quick Note About Licences

We’ve added the license that the images fall under for each website.
With that out the way, let’s dive into our top picks for health and wellness free stock images.
