How to find (or create) the right image on RoyaltyFreeHub
Search tips, Korean and English search, and how to describe a new image when nothing fits.
RoyaltyFreeHub works a little differently from a classic stock site. The library grows from what people search for, and if an image doesn't exist yet, you can ask for it.
Search like you'd describe it to a friend
Our search understands meaning, not just exact words. "quiet beach at sunset" will also find images titled "calm seaside at dusk". A few tips:
- Start broad, then narrow. Try "forest", then "misty pine forest".
- Add the use. Words like "background", "texture" or "copy space" help find images that work behind text.
- Search in Korean or English. Both languages search the same library, so "바닷가 노을" and "beach sunset" find the same images.
Browse by category
If you're not sure what you want, start from a category on the home page. Each category shows the newest images first, and you can sort by popularity.
When nothing fits: generate
If your search returns only a few results, a Generate images panel appears. Pressing it creates four new images from your words in about 20 to 40 seconds, checks them, and adds them to the library for everyone.
Good descriptions have four parts:
- Subject: what is in the image ("a wooden cabin")
- Setting: where it is ("in a snowy forest")
- Light and mood: "at night with warm window light"
- Style: "photo", "watercolor", "flat illustration", "low poly"
Put together: wooden cabin in a snowy forest at night with warm window light, photo.
What we can't create
To keep everything safe to use, we don't create images of real or famous people, brands and logos, existing characters, or adult and violent content. If a search includes those, the generate button won't appear.
Limits
Each visitor can generate a few times per day so the service stays free for everyone. Searching and downloading are unlimited.
