I've used this for self published book covers as well as social media posts. I find it has a good selection and is much more safe and reliable (in terms of proper licensing) than the completely free places that could get you sued. This is by far one of the best deals out there for authors or anyone producing a lot of social media! You can even stack it to double or triple the number of images you get and make sure you have enough for years. 

It has both photos and illustrations, and you can search for photos with no people or a certain number of people, and identify the gender, age range, and ethnicity. It also has flat lays – images shot from above with carefully arranged objects like flowers or holiday items, with space in the middle to add your book cover or text.

It's added an AI generator, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your views, but you don't have to use it. I asked if it was possible to exclude AI generated images from the search and got this response: "If you have any doubts about any image, you may provide its ID so we can check it with the content team to be 100% sure (it's not AI)."

Bonus: Grab your Depositphotos images and use them in Canva, a free browser-based design program. (I used it for all the images here.)
