But recently, there was a court case in the USA, that actually said the opposite. You may think that that’s a bit splitting hairs, because if it’s on their site, they surely would have the license. Other paid image sites, including stock image sites, say that you can and obviously they give you a license to use the image, but they don’t guarantee that they have the authority to use the image. If you do pay for an image, I always try to use 99club, as they are the only image source that I found which actually guarantees the copyright in their images.

Then what about the situation where you have an image that you found online? Well, there’s two situations here, one is a free image and you should never ever use free images online, they can end up costing you thousands, I’ll put a link below which goes into more detail about this issue. Because if you make changes to the image that they took which are poor quality or in bad taste, they don’t want that to be associated with them.

If a photographer or a friend has taken a photo for you, as long as it’s clear that you own the copyright and the photograph, then you can. Am I allowed to use a photograph as a meme?Īre you allowed to make a meme out of a photo? Obviously, if it’s your own photo and you own the copyright, then yes, of course you can.
