How do I know if a photo is copyrighted?
One good way to see if a photo is copyrighted is by reverse searching for the image. Right click on the image and select “copy image address”. Then paste this into Google Images or a site dedicated to reverse image search, like TinEye. This will show you where the image is used, and where it has come from.
How do you license an image?
In order to license images and grant photo usage rights, you need to be either the author of the images, or otherwise authorized to license the images. For example, agencies are also authorized to license images if the author has contractually allowed them to be granted.

Do you need a license to download from Getty Images?

Most of our photos, illustrations, video and music clips are available under our standard royalty-free license, which is our most common license.

Can a CC BY image be incorporated into a Wikipedia article?
Yes. Works licensed under CC BY may be incorporated into works that are licensed under CC BY-SA. For example, you may incorporate a CC BY photograph into a Wikipedia article so long as you keep all copyright notices intact, provide proper attribution, and otherwise comply with the terms of CC BY.
Do you need permission to use an image on the Internet?
The rule of thumb is that you must receive authorization from the creator in order to use his/her image (you’d be smart to get this in writing).
