copyrights of images??

Hey Angela_wi,

It’s a good idea to check the copyright license of any image you use. Google Image does allow you to filter search results by license: https://www.google.es/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=sdfsd&tbs=sur:fmc&gws_rd=cr&ei=MPaPVd-sNoXxUL2bgaAM#tbs=sur:fmc&tbm=isch&q=WordPress

This site is really helpful for searching for free images: https://search.creativecommons.org/

There are loads of free image sites around, not just Google Images. I put together a post last year with some good images: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/best-free-stock-images-wordpress/

Hey Rae,

Firstly, let me thank you for your reply.
Secondly, because I have no clue about this whole thing,do you know what are the copyrights of images? I mean, lets say I have 3 images that I really like and they have copyrights, how can I use them in my wordpress site? Is it possible to modify these photos in some kind of way so that I can use them?
And let me just say, that your post was very helpful and thank you again for all your help.

Best regards,
Angela

Hey Angela_wi,

It took me a while to get used to all the different image and copyright licenses, so I understand where you’re coming from! I actually wrote a post about this topic which might help you: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ultimate-guide-to-free-images-on-your-wordpress-website/

The copyright licensing really depends on the author. Some images authors might use Creative Commons, others might use GPL or something else, or no license at all. If you use a site like Flickr to find free images the licenses are usually displayed at the bottom.
