Adobe Stock free images

Do I need to give attribution if I use Adobe Stock's free images? I didn't find this information there, https://stock.adobe.com/license-terms. All the free images on Adobe Stock come under the Standard License, and as far as I know, I don't need to attribute with the Standard License.

Your understanding of the terms are wrong. Crediting an image is not related to the licence, but to the use of the asset. There are several conditions, where you are required to credit. Examples: You are not required to credit, if you use an asset in an advert. You are required to credit if you use the asset in a blog post. All is possible under a standard licence. 

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
