If, like me, you are cautious about using Google Images as you are not sure which images are free or just an excuse to sue me, this way of finding out may help.

1. Go to Google.com and enter your search term e.g. daisies

2. Click "Images" at the top of the page

3. At the far right side of the screen, click the "Gear" tool shaped like a flower then select Advanced Search.

4. Scroll towards the bottom and select "Free to use/share" in section marked Usage Rights.

5. Click Advanced Search and only those images which are free to us will appear.

Hope this helps

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this.

Very Helpful. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for sharing. This will be useful.

Thank you for this information.

Thanks Gill. That's great!

Thanks very much! Yes, I have been quite cautious about which images to use. Wikicommons did not have anything suitable recently, so I spent ages scouring other sites, but completely avoided google because I just was not sure. Now I know.....merci!

Je vous en prie, Alan!

Thanks for sharing. I also noticed there is a royalty free for modification and commercial use which is great. Debbie

Thank you so much for this post . I just asked a question a couple of days ago related to this .

Very good advice. I didn't know that. Thank You. Lately I have been getting organic hits on my site from Google image search. Do you know how I can tell what images they are hunting for ? Tom

Hi t d did you post or submit something shortly before the hits started occurring? That is the only way I know of establishing what causes Google attention.

Thank you
