How to Use Google Image Search to Find Creative Commons Images you can LEGALLY use for FREE!

[@Joo0boz]

You're the first one explaining this so clearly ! Thank you !

[@arsenal48250]

Hey, so if I was to use a picture for a KZbin video thumbnail where would I cite it? In the bio? If so is that for every single picture used if it’s copyright free?

[@the_gh_biochemist]

Any help on this?

[@Shtf132]

How do I indicate if I changed an image?

[@christineperez1024]

Thank you! I am sharing this video with my middle school online newspaper staff.

[@SiebertScience]

It's great that you're teaching them this skill!

[@Heatherhigleydrums]

How can you legally make and sell art print collages on Etsy of vintage images in public domain? By the nature of art, you can't be writing citations over the canvas surely...

Any updates?

[@mpamyabigwikeyyoung8854]

Helloooo.....how about videos....how can one know about the licenses attached to them??? thank you!!! otherwise this video is great honnestly speaking !!!

[@singhbhai]

Can i use them on my website?

[@chaostheory8340]

question why do i have to attribute a image if it is creative commons second let's say i was trying to make a youtube video where do i attribute that image do i do it in the description. and if so do i really have to attribute every single image that i used in the video im probaly over thinking this but i don't want to flood my video description with attributed images.

[@SiebertScience]

For Creative Commons images, it's still someone else's intellectual property. They've just said that anyone can use it as long as they cite the original creator. It's sort of just giving credit where it's due. Yeah, for videos, citing it in the description makes the most sense to me. I attribute every image, but not everyone does. For the most part, it doesn't matter too much unless the owner of the image (or someone else) finds you video and reports it. Then KZbin may ask you to take it down if you don't have permission or have you cite it if it's Creative Commons. If you're a small KZbinr, probably nobody's going to say anything.

Thank you. This should be compulsory viewing for everyone

[@SiebertScience]

You’re welcome! Yeah, I wish more people knew about this.

[@FIKAZENSDIARY]

Thank you so much for ur explanation. yeah, I really need to know about this.

[@salahuddinayubi6490]

Hi! Your video is amazing but I have a question. In your description, you have written that the attribution is for the "bear image". So if I need to use many pictures from Wikimedia commons in my youtube video, can i simply write "ATTRIBUTIONS:" and then just paste all the attributions?

[@SiebertScience]

Yeah, I think that would be totally fine.

[@melissaverschage2474]

Hello. I use your video in a teacher training I facilitate. You don't have captions so I'm using my captioning service to create a transcript. Would you like a copy to add to your video?

[@SiebertScience]

Sure! That would be great.

[@melissaverschage2474]

@@SiebertScience great! It's being processed now and should be available on Monday. I have a video on how to upload your captions to KZbin, which will be time-coded to match your video. Can I get your email address to forward it?

[@Felippe002]

And what happens if I add a lot of images to my KZbin video? should I give credit to all of them?

[@SiebertScience]

I think that's the best practice. At least, provide the links.

[@Felippe002]

@@SiebertScience It's weird because I never see youtubers giving credit for the images used in their videos

[@SiebertScience]

Yeah, I've noticed that too on a lot of channels. Copyright laws are complicated. Here are a couple things that I think are true (but I'm not at all an expert or anything): 1. If a KZbinr is getting all their images from a paid stock image service, then often they aren't required to cite every image, as specified as part of their subscription to that stock image company. 2. Ultimately, there is no consequence to not citing an image unless the author of the image raises a concern about it. Some will...like if I used an image from a textbook company and they saw it, they'd tell me to take the video down.

[@allasjeanharley4905]

I really appreciate the video! It is helpful and i understand the creative commons better!

Thank you! Super informational!

This is so helpful. Thank you.

[@SiebertScience]

You're welcome!

[@ahadibnaltariq8004]

I see that you have put in your description both the "Attribution that you copied" + "URL to that image". Isn't attribution required only? Like the Credit + link to the license? Why provide a link to the image?

[@SiebertScience]

Yeah, the attribution is probably sufficient. But I figure it can't hurt to provide the link too.
