What it does
Age Without Limits provides free photographs showing people over 50 in varied everyday settings. Its image library is designed to support more realistic depictions of ageing, with search filters and optional accounts for saved collections.
Start with an activity such as gardening or using a phone, then filter by topics including work, health and digital inclusion. The People filter distinguishes an individual, a group, an unidentifiable view, an abstract subject or a landscape. Results can be ordered by relevance or date taken.
Tick the images you want and open the green selections bar to download them together or individually. Choose the original file for high resolution or a smaller version for presentations and social posts. Downloads ask for an email address so the organisation can contact users about changes in a subject’s consent. An account is optional and adds saved collections.
The guide publishes the images under CC0, with credit appreciated. It asks users to avoid sensitive-topic portrayals, false associations and implied endorsement, and requests that images not be used for AI purposes. Contact Age Without Limits in advance of a paid advertising campaign.
