    Yes... U can use the image.... Or you can search similar inside Google.... Always do remember to not place images of mobile companies or some law firms etc to put on your website....

    Hope this helps.....

    Three dead wrong answers from clueless people. No. You can't just freely use any old image you find using a google search. Images have copyrights and you need permission from the copyright holder to use them legally.

    Above: Why I use CC Image Search. Also, you can just search this: "public domain (query)" and get free stuff. Hope I helped.

    Well I came to know an important element by "mrShrimp"

    Just go to images.google.com and type this "public domain flowers photos"

    Change the text in Red to your search term for example....

    "public domain movies posters" or "public domain art pictures"

    I hope this helps./....

    You can use these images but sure that these are not copyrighted. If these are copy righted then you can't use these images.

    i think that if that was meaning something (image copyright) then 99% of websites were down or sued.
    I think you may use those google images but don't sell them, that's all.

    i have a site where i did get the images from google, however the company that created, and ownes the graphics has copywrited them. For every page of that website where i have any images that were created or even if they are modified from the original that the company created, i have to say in my footer who owns the copywrite on those images. Additionally by using their images in my website im bound by restrictions in the use and presentation of the images. You wont believe this, but by using their images, i will face legal issues just by putting in adsense or any other form of advertising -> basically even though these images are found "free" on the web, the company that owns the copywrite to them can dictate who can and who cant use them.

    it is NOT a good idea to simply google and take images from the web without checking each image for copywrite permission. You might never get caught, but thats not the point.

    I dont know any good legal places where you can download images for free that have no copywrite. I know of places such as 123rf.com where i can buy images, however its too expensive at $150 p/m
    If someone can suggest good free places, and or good places that have low monthly subscription rates, then please please let me know -> i dont know why but it seems whenever you try to do the right thing, it ends up costing too much :(

    Is there a limitation in putting images on a business site?
