Everyone knows that content is king, and when current entrepreneurial trends involve starting an online business, a blog, an online social media presence, that content needs to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More often than not, if your topics involve modern day life trends, this means creating digital content that catches eyes in the first 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking online, you\u2019ll notice that this largely entails using great technology background images that give online content, videos, and banners a fresh, relevant, and updated look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, you may not be an advanced graphic designer and may not exactly be able to say that your skill set screams \u201cgraphic design is my passion<\/a>,\u201d but don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have just enough skills to deal with the graphics you find online, then read on. We\u2019ve put together a list to help you find or create quick technology background images you can use to help boost your visual content easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Image Websites And Databases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first place you\u2019ll probably look for technology backgrounds are image websites and databases. These sites are great as most of them support images that are free to use in commercial content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of sites out there, but to make things easy, we included the top sites with their technology background pages linked so you have them all in one list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pixabay<\/a> – If you need a quick and basic search, head over to Pixabay for any stock images, videos, vectors, and photos for your starting digital backgrounds. You can choose from different sizes and image types to ensure that you have the right background for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freepik<\/a> – This is another great site for grabbing inspiration and background images. Note that any images used from this database requires that, as a free user, you credit the author and include an attribution line, \u201cDesigned by Freepik,\u201d and link it back to the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsplash<\/a> – Another source of freely usable images, Unsplash aims to provide free high-resolution images with a bit more organization, providing you with a starting point for sifting through backgrounds, images, and wallpapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unsplash<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pexels<\/a> – Pexels offers stock photos and technology video backgrounds<\/a> you can use as needed. No doubt this will make it easy for even beginners to start boosting their digital content and media. Both can be downloaded and used for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vecteezy<\/a> – Vecteezy emphasizes its main calling card in offering you free and downloadable vectors on top of photos and videos.

Free Graphic Design Platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may also want to try a more hands-on approach with your background images with free graphic design platforms. The tools below will not only provide you with technology-related backgrounds and photos, but also give you the basic tools to quickly customize and prep them for any purpose you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canva <\/strong>– Canva<\/a> is a platform that has everything needed to create professional-looking designs. It offers a free basic account and provides users with stock images and pre-made templates. Just use the term \u201ctechnology\u201d to search their photo collection. Note that while some images are free, some are only available via a PRO account or paid fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pixelied <\/strong>– Like the other tools in this section, Pixelied<\/a> has a quick search function that will provide you with technology backgrounds you can manipulate for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and more.
