Wikipedia:Public domain image resources
Public domain image resources is a copy of the master Wikipedia page at Meta, which lists a number of sources of public domain images on the Web.
Public Domain images should be marked with the Public Domain Mark Public Domain Mark enables works that are no longer restricted by to be marked as such in a standard and simple way, making them easily discoverable and available to others.
The Public Domain Mark is recommended for works that are free of known around the world. These will typically be very old works.[1] For a creator to release their works into the public domain legally they must use the creative commons CC0 license which gives creators a way to waive all their and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law.[2] The presence of a resource on this list does not guarantee that all or any of the images in it are in the public domain.
You are still responsible for checking the status of images before you submit them to Wikipedia.
Please read the policy on image use and etiquette at: Wikipedia:Image use policy.

You can use CCSearch to search for freely licensed images across many of the image sources listed here.
It can also help with finding freely licensed animations, audio and videos.
