Now that we have a collection of images that are free to use, we need to download the image(s) that we want.

Click the image of interest and it will enlarge. You can then right click the image and select 'Save image as...'. You can also click the buttons to the right that say 'Visit page' or 'View image'. For this example we will select 'Save image as...'.


A dialog asking where to save the image will be presented. Select where you would like to save the image. I am using Chrome with Windows 7 and will save the image in the default 'pictures' folder.

Name the image whatever you like. I have elected to accept the default name. Then click 'Save'.

You can now use the image for your website, blog, etc.

The next page will demonstrate how to do this when using images.bing.com .

This is great training! I personally believe that this subject is a little over hyped for my liking. As far as the owner of the image is concerned....as long as you are using the images to illustrate and to educate, then you are fine.....the owner of that image won't come after you.

It's usually when you try to make money off of the images somehow...like if you are using the copyright image in an Adwords campaign or you are using it to promote your website or product on Facebook and you are using the brand, or the image itself, to grow a customer base, etc, now you are swimming on the deep end....

If it was really that bad on the internet. Large corporations would never have their logos on the internet at all and right when someone attempts to use the logo on their website, they would come right at those people.

In actuality, these individual websites and companies would actually love for you to use their logos in context because it's free advertising...as long as you are not promoting the Coca Cola trademark or advertising the Wealthy Affiliate emblem all over the internet as part of "your brand" or your website, then you will be fine

To me it's a matter of doing the right thing, though. Is someone going to come after you? Probably not. But I'm using someone else's work, and if they have taken the time to provide me a means to download it and use it to illustrate something, it is a sign of respect to provide the attribution. It is a professional courtesy and I'm in the clear of any ramifications at all.

Of course, this is just my opinion. Millage may vary.

Yes, this is good information. I'm always afraid I'll end up using the wrong type of photo and get sued.

I am happy to read this because I thought all images there were free to use. Thank you!

Great training. Another useful place to find images for reuse is flickr. They too have a "labeled for reuse" filter and link to the creative commons license the image is licensed under which is great for attribution.
