Using images that you find online can be problematic because of copyright issues, so be sure to check the usage rights associated with the image. The following resources will clearly explain usage rights for each image and will help you navigate what images you can or cannot use.
- Creative Commons - While using Creative Commons to find images is a great first step, check each image's usage rights to understand how you can reuse, distribute, or edit.
- Wikimedia Commons - Check all usage rights before using
- Pixabay - Before using any image from Pixabay check the usage rights (should be on the right-hand side of each image, example)
- Google Images - Be sure modify your search by selecting the appropriate usage rights under Tools. See below.
