While writing some blog post, I was searching contents and a suitable picture for it. Some article has stopped me from downloading images from google search, as it can be a copyrighted image and create problem later on. (I forget to copy the link).

This information stopped me to further posting any content or images unless I am not sure about the legality of the sharing. Now I have to plan to remove all contents from my all blogs and recreate the contents keeping in mind the legality of the contents and images.

Later on searching on WA I found a training where our trainer wrote a way to filter out the copyrighted images on google search together with some free image storage sites. I found the training material to be read by maximum people so that they can save themselves from problem.

I was looking for appropriate images and information for some blog entries that I was composing. I came to the realization that if an image is copyrighted, obtaining it from Google Search could be dangerous and lead to issues down the road. This caused me to reconsider posting anything unless I was positive it was legal. I found a useful comparison between https://skylum.com/blog/facetune-vs-faceapp when searching for answers. It clarified how various applications manage image editing and made me realize how cautious we should be while utilizing photos and editing software. I believe everyone should read the instruction I later found on screening free and copyrighted picture sources.

You can use Google images, but you have to filter them...use the filter and search "images I can reuse' and the other choice is 'images I can reuse and modify'. Other than that I always search for FREE when I perform ANY searches for my website. Ask Google...need images? Search free images....need animations? Search free animations....you only get what you ask for. Much success!

We have to be careful not to infringe copyright to be safe I use my own or reliable resources such as pixabay

Thanks for the free pic links::))

thanks...:)

Many thanks for the link. Pixabay is also totally free without need for attribution :)

Some of them are but not all Mohammad. http://Pexels.com is a good one and 10 more are list in this post.

Hi, Dreamer!I read somewhere we are not allowed to put links in the comments, I wanted to check with you; I put some, also.
WA blogs or WA training are not a problem!

Dorina I think it is fine if you are not promoting a product. I am in no way affiliated with Pexels . I like the fact that you can customize your download size saving a step.

No, not all Google images are free to use, many are copyrighted. If you want to use Google images do an advanced search, which will show the ones which are free of copyright.

You don't need to use Google images, there are plenty of free-to-use image programs on the net. Two excellent ones are Pixabay.com and publicdomainfiles.com. All there images are free to use for any purpose. Hope this helps
