Unsplash or Pexels first, then Pixabay: all three are free for commercial use with no credit required.

Unsplash bars selling an image without significant change or compiling them into a competing service, and Pexels and Pixabay bar implying a person or brand endorses you or putting an image in a trademark. A Creative Commons photo is usable only under its licence: CC BY allows commercial use with credit, while NC means noncommercial only. Check the licence before putting a stranger's face in an ad, and never build a logo from a stock photo.
