As all students (and instructors) who have ever given presentations should know, well-chosen images can transform dull, wordy slides into engaging works of art. The website Unsplash has been a reliable source of free high-quality photographs since it was founded in 2013, and in July 2019 Unsplash announced its partnership with Instructures learning management platform Canvas as part of its Unsplash for Education campaign. To accompany this, Unsplash has also curated 10 collections of images on themes likely to be relevant to students and teachers, including (for example) math and science; geography; nature; and politics and current events. Each collection offers well over 100 photographs, all of which can be freely downloaded and used for any purpose with no permissions needed. Visitors whose image needs are not met by these collections can search the entire Unsplash database (which contains over 1,000,000 photographs) by using the search bar at the top of the page.
