Are you looking for high definition stock video footage to use as part of your movie, on your website or to create videos for your brand on YouTube or Facebook? If you have a high budget (hundreds, even thousands of dollars for few minutes of footage), you can hire a professional videographer or buy stock footage.

But these options are not realistic if you are an independent artist just starting out, an entrepreneur or a business in the early stages of growth.

At Typito, we believe in democratizing video storytelling. So we got into research mode and identified top 10 websites that offer HD stock video footage for free. Not “royalty free”. Just free 🙂. Special thanks to a growing community of videographers who are contributing their work for free.

Let’s dive into the list.

At number 10, we have YouTube! Yes, the worlds largest video hosting site and 2nd most popular search engine. Did you know that there are two powerful search filters with which you can find high definition videos under the Creative Commons license?

Vimeo comes in at a close Number 9. Unlike YouTube's massive audience, Vimeo's is a smaller, niche community of film makers and enthusiasts.

So when you use their search functionality to find Creative Commons licensed videos, you know that the content is through one round of quality filtering. But due to lack of editorial curation and poor tagging, you still have to spend time identifying the right footage.

Next in our line up is The Public Domain Project by Pond5. The team at Pond5 has searched through government and public archives around the globe to build this useful repository of media files with historic value.

If you are looking for simple animated videos to use as background on your website or for simple explainer videos, you should check out number 7 in the list: Vidlery.

Vidlery is a limited but beautiful collection of cute animated videos. They are simply named across tags like space station, golfer, meeting and more. These videos are under the CC0 1.0 Universal license which means the creator has waiving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide. No permission or attribution needed.

Videvo - Number 6 in our list, is a huge collection of 4000+ HD quality clips that are absolutely free to use. The videos are carefully curated by their editorial team and linked with respective creators. The tagging makes search easier.

At number 5, it’s Coverr. Coverr offers copyright-free videos that are ideal for beautiful video backgrounds for websites.

At number 4, it is a very unique collection called Mazwai. Each video is carefully sourced, has exotic shot composition and credited to a professional cinematographer. If it is footage of wildlife, nature or landscape that you are looking for, don’t look further.

A stock footage project by Leeroy, an advertising agency in Montreal, Canada comes in at Number 3. It’s called Life of Vids. We loved their ‘collections’ which has video categories like Food, Drone footage, Nature etc. Blue lakes, green farmland, night cityscapes, each video is stunning in its own right. New videos are added weekly.

We are now near the top of our list. It is a tough battle! We have Pixabay at 2nd rank. Their tagging is super specific which lets you find videos for use cases like ‘people playing chess’, or ‘red flower blooming in summer’.

Time to unveil the best site for free stock footage. Drum roll please.

It’s Pexels. Last quarter Pexels surpassed Shutterstock w.r.t to photo downloads (the incumbent leader in stock photography). Now they have integrated their free stock video collection to their main site and it’s exquisite.Thousands of copyright free videos, Full HD, stunningly shot and tagged appropriately.

This list has been carefully curated by our team at Typito. Typito is a web based drag-and-drop video editor, to easily stunning social media videos with beautiful typography, video clips and images. It’s like Canva but for videos!
