5 Websites For Free Stock Videos

Discover the best sites for downloading free footage to use for your video projects

These are the top sites for downloading free stock videos to use in whatever project you’re currently working, be it audiovisual or web. All of the sites we’re recommending are free both for personal and commercial use, and some of them even offer photography, music, sound, and motion graphics content as well.

Among their libraries, you will discover footage in 4K and a range of aerial shots that have been captured by drones or using time-lapse, as well as archives that you can search by category or using tags.

Life of Vids

This free selection offers videos, clips, and loops without any copyright restrictions, to use for both personal and commercial projects. The footage includes a range of shots of the great outdoors, the workplace, aerial shots, food, cities, people, and more.

The only thing they do ask is to limit redistribution across other websites and, providing you’re happy to, credit the authors. You can upload your own footage as well.

Dareful

A free library of stock videos in 4K for both personal and commercial use. You have to create an account but there is no need to submit any payment details.

All the videos come under the international Creative Commons license, allowing global distribution. This content comes from the personal library of the filmmaker, Joel Holland.

Pexels

This popular site offers up stock videos, including some in 4K, as well as photographs. You can search by popular tags or most-watched. You’re not required to credit the footage you use.

Mixkit

Free resources including videos, music, as well as templates for Premiere Pro. The collections fall under the categories of animals, the workplace, business, landscapes, aerial shots, pets, animation, and more. You can use all content, which is curated by the website’s own team, freely. You also have the option of sharing your own work.

Videvo

Another site offering resources in additional formats to video, such as sound effects, music, animation, and motion graphics.

This site has an impressive video library. One potential downside is that you’ll find lots of paid options mixed in with the free options if you don’t activate the right filters.
