Can I Use Creative Commons Images on My Blog?

Creative Commons images are a great way to add an element of creativity and visual interest to your blog posts. However, before you use a Creative Commons image, you should be sure that it is legally allowed to do so.

If the image is not licensed in a way that is allowed by copyright law, then it may be infringing on the rights of the copyright holder and could be removed from your blog without warning.

In general, Creative Commons images can be used on a blog provided that you include the following information in your post:

The license under which the image is available. This can be found in the header or footer of the image file.

The original author of the image.

A link to the original image file.

If you use a Creative Commons image without including all of these information, then it may be removed from your blog without warning. It is always best to contact the copyright holder if you are unsure about whether or not an image is allowed to be used on your blog.
