Freepix is not a download site per say. It is a search engine for FREE pics and vectors.

There are several similar sites available and you can also use Google Images advanced search to find images that have no copy protection.

in theory...
do a google image search for
inurl:istock -site:istock.com %kw%
inurl:shutterstock -site:shutterstock.com %kw%
inurl:jupiterimages -site:jupiterimages.com %kw%
inurl:dreamstime -site:dreamstime.com %kw%
inurl:fotolia -site:fotolia.com %kw%
inurl:canstockphoto -site:canstockphoto.com %kw%

and replace %kw% with your keyword

That picture you are after...
You have to pay for it; it's not free. It's value is 1 (one) Credit.
This means that you pay istockphoto - X number of Dollars and they give you 'Credits'.
Then you go and pick what you want and pay with 'Credits', as in the value could be 1, 2 or 3 Credits for each and any picture/photo.

It's not a surefire method, but occasionally this has worked:

Search for Image via Google (http://www.google.com/imghp) and drag the watermarked image from the webpage to Google Images.
Google will often find a match for the full resolution image in use by someone who's previously bought it - the watermark isn't too much of a difference for it to notice... you can then save this version.

You won't get vector files this way but you may find the vector in use unwatermarked which you can save and vectorise yourself. Or, if you don't mind a little more work, edit the watermarked version and vectorise that.

This is a REALLY easy image to edit and vectorise from the watermarked version - PM me if you need me to do it for you!
