For example, Unsplash is a royalty-free image website, which means you can download and share any photo from the website. Simply head to Unsplash.com and search Christmas and you will be met with thousands of festive images, from trees, gifts, wreaths, ornaments and more.
Pixabay is similar to Unsplash in that its images are free to use, but it also has a lot of graphics and cartoon images, as well as photographs.
The images are great for adding to a Merry Christmas post on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Alternatively, you could try adding your own text over the Unsplash or Pixabay image using an editing app on your phone, and then send the image to your family and friends.
These images are also great for giving your phone, laptop, or iPad a festive makeover, as they work as Christmas wallpaper backgrounds.
