At least… you now probably have the right to use them on your web pages, that is, copyright free. Keep in mind, their byline is fairly good size and, from what I can determine, it won’t reduce. But just hop on over to…
About 4 out of 5 images now have “embed code” for you to insert in your own web pages or reports. Have fun decorating your blog or report with the best images ever, all for free and no registration required.
Can someone tell me a bit more about this? I’d love to use some of these images, but can’t quite figure out how to do that . . . at least not for free! Where would I find the embed code that’s mentioned or how else would I get a hold of an image? Thanks!
I looked at this site as well and it seems that access to every image requires a fee. How do we access the free content?
Dear Doug,
Can you please document your thesis that we can use these images for FREE . . . on our Website (or any other electronic medium)? I see where it says:
“Getty Images grants to you, for a period of 30 days, a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable and non-assignable right to use the image and/or film preview file … on your personal computer, and … in any test, sample, comp or rough cut evaluation materials. The Licensed Material may only be used in materials for personal, noncommercial use and test or sample use, including comps and layouts.”
Like Paul and David, I’d like to see some documentation that we can use this FREE in Power Points, etc., before I put my ministry in jeopardy.
Hello John, David, Paul, and others asking for more documentation on Getty’s decision — as well as for more info on how to implement the embeds. For more info, see this page at the Getty site:

As for the stated media, the three types of uses that Getty is envisioning at this point, they mention, specifically, “websites, blogs and social media.” We’re not seeing, at this point, a release for inclusion in Microsoft Powerpoint presentations. This is solely a web-oriented use, as far as I can see.
