Plot Image License For Free

It's by no means impossible to use an image that is copyright-protected ? you just need to get a license or other permission to use it from the creator first. In most cases, using the work either involves licensing an image through a third-party website, or contacting the creator directly.

Generally, the author and initial copyright owner of a photograph is the person who ?shoots? or ?takes? the photo.

Use the "Usage rights" filter to find images that have license information attached to them. Google filters images by license based on information provided by the sites that host those images, or the image provider. Always confirm an image's license information.

Images are subject to the laws of copyright and intellectual property. Before using a copyrighted image, you must determine if you can claim that your use falls under the Fair Use guidelines, explained below. If it does not, you will need to pay to use the image or find a different image that is copyright-free.

Write a description of the digital images you're licensing. Provide as much identifying information as is needed for a complete description. For example, a photography session may come with a package of 50 to 100 edited photos. A digital image description might include the file name, type, and size.

Put the license in writing Some photographers grant exclusive licenses so that only the licensee has the right to use their photograph in a certain way or for a certain time. Exclusive licenses must be in writing. You can grant non-exclusive licenses orally, but it's best to put all licenses in writing.
