It has been said many times that we should avoid using Google Images, however I think this is largely because most people are unaware there is an easy way of finding free Google images.

I have written some blog posts about drones and I needed some images. I could use the free image sites suggested on Wealthy Affiliate or I can go directly to Google images.

https://images.google.com/

1.In the search bar put in a key word for the image you want.

(I put the word drones)

1.Hit the Tools Tab.

3. Hit Usage Rights

4. Scroll down to labeled for reuse

5 Choose the image which best fits your needs.

Thank you Melissa, I only realized this aspect of Google images a few weeks ago myself so thought others may not know also.

You are welcome Melissa, I was a bit anxious about doing it because I thought everyone else would know and I was the only ignorant one.. It is good that there are others like me, I don't feel so bad now.
Thank you.

Thanks , I use Google images all the time. If they are too small, which they sometimes are:
1. go into Canva
2. set the size above 200 pixels by 200 pixels (I usually use 250 pixels)
3. import the picture
4. download it and you'll be able to use it.

Thanks Harvey, you are an expert, I am a beginner like many others and I was unaware that you could filter for free to use images.till recently, so figured others would be the same.
