There are at least two great ways to search for images you can use in your course materials (or homework):


  1. Google Images search:

  2. Website repositories of graphics labeled for commercial or noncommercial reuse:



  • (choose the smaller sizes!)






Once you’ve acquired the images, you may need to resize them. Here are some handy tools:

  • (try online or download)

  • (follow the ‘no registration needed, edit for free’ link)


  • Even faster? bookmarklet for your browser (if you use them; if not, do not go down this rabbit trail!)
