Introduction

Copyright free images are a writer’s best friend.

Images always cheer up any article, blog post, or document. But if you use images with copyright without paying for them you can get into trouble.

So how do you get captivating images for free, without any copyright issues at all?

Easy Sites to Find Good Images

There are many easy methods to find copyright free images. They can be found through search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. You can also head to sites like Flickr, Pexels, Unsplash, or Pixabay which provide images for free use.

Copyright is the exclusive legal right to reproduce, distribute, adapt, publicly display or create derivative works based on an original work of authorship. Anyone who violates this may be liable for copyright infringement. However there are some exceptions that allow one to use copyrighted material without having legal permission or paying the owner of the work’s permission fees.

Images in Public Domain

Try to find images that are labeled “In Public Domain” to give yourself the best protection available against any copyright issues.

Wikipedia and Wikipedia Commons are excellent places to hunt for copyright free images.

When you see this label below attached to an image (that you can usually view in Image Properties screen), it means it’s your lucky day and you found a public domain image that you can use however you like without any attributions:
