How to find Creative Commons images using Google

undefined

 

Images that have been labelled as Creative Commons have been shared freely by the original creator.

You can narrow down your Google images search results to only include images that are free to use under creative commons.

From the results screen select Tools > Usage Rights > Creative Commons licenses

 

 

In Australia any creative commons image you use needs to be attributed. This can simply look like the name of the creator and a link back to where you found the picture. An attribution should be placed close to the image.

Attribution example

Google Arts and Culture

You can explore artwork by colour, artistic movement, and artist, view 1000's of high quality images.

Free images

There are many websites where you can find free images. It's best practise to include an attribution close to every image used.
