[subornaakter20]

If you've been reading this post, you know that the answer is a definite yes, but to make those modifications you must make sure to choose images that have the correct license. Remember that there are 6 types of licenses and not all of them allow modifications.

And if you decide not to comply with the terms of the license, remember that the author can take legal action as soon as he or she notices that you are not using his or her Creative Commons images correctly.

CC0 licenses are Creative Commons images chiropractor email address without reserved rights; that is, they are in the public domain, so you can:

Use them for commercial or personal use.
Copy, modify or distribute them without permission or attribution to the owner.


All of this is great, because you could skip part of the attribution process that for many can be quite tedious. Here is a compilation of the best photo banks with CC0 licenses:

Pexels
We have already mentioned this to you before; it is a great photo bank because its images are in the public domain, so you have permission to copy, distribute, modify, without the permission of the author and without attributing, unless you wish to do so.

Pexels has an infinite number of authors who categorize their art into folders, you can filter by keywords or, if you already have an author in mind, you can search for them directly.

You should be careful with this photo bank because it can often cause confusion; when it does not have images that satisfy your search, it usually shows you other alternatives that do have copyright . Let's look at an example:

In our search we put the word SEO and, since Pexels did not have images in its own bank, it gives us some suggestions from an external site. Usually it suggests images from Adobe Stock, but in order to use these images you must opt ​​for a monthly plan.

Foter
Foter is another stock photo bank that has over 200 million photos to use on your blog, but unlike Pexels, it does ask you to consider some points regarding Creative Commons licenses. Let's take a look:

Very similar to Pexels, but it has something that Pexels doesn't, and that is that you can customize the language. If you prefer to do the search in our language, it is allowed; the same happens if you want to leave it in English or customize it in any other language.
