"If you search for any term and head to the Images section in Google, you’ll instantly find thousands of images.

If you’re looking for copyright-free PNG cutouts, you should check out PNGPlayIcon8, and PNGimg.
Even though a lot of these images are free to use without any attribution, you can support the creators by giving them credit, which in turn gives their work more exposure. You might not have the resources to purchase their images, but someone else might be interested in hiring them. Crediting them for their work helps with that.
