Is it ok to use google images?

[GROWBY]

I have a product review website and I can't take a photo for every product. So what's the best way to get product photos? Is it fine to use google images?

Unlikely. They are copyrighted.

Check the rights. Use the Tools option to set a CC licenses.

Or alter the images with Photoshop or some tools so copyrights don't find out.

google images can be a copyright issue.
Also google likes the original image as much as the original article

They might have copyrights.
You'd better use websites like Pixabay.

No. Those can be and most likely are copyrighted.

What you need is royalty free images that you can use.

You can check Flickr for photos which allow for copyright free OR use with attribution (link to the person who took the photo)

With AI tools getting better every day, and the tools we already have good enough to find images easily, people WILL find out. If you are in most Asian or South American countries, you might not get in trouble. If you are in North America or Europe, you can easily have them find you and sue you. We have had LOTS of users here on this forum get contacted by lawyers or other firms that represent photographers and track down blog and sue them.

Instead of using google images, that may have copyright issues, you can try Pinterest it doesn't have any such issues.

Get images from free image provider as Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay which provide you useful image.

Use websites like wikipedia or Unsplash. Just remember to give picture credits to the publisher.

 

[Turbo SEO]

yes, you can use Google Images to find images for various purposes, such as presentations, documents, or social media posts. However, you need to be careful about how you use the images you find through Google Images, as they may be protected by copyright law.

When it comes to getting product photos for your website, it's best to avoid using images from Google or other sources without permission. Keep in mind of copyright and use properly licensed images to maintain the credibility of your website.

You must study that licence in order to determine its permissions. You might just be able to use the image as-is or you might be able to edit it. Or you might only be permitted to use it for nonprofit reasons. You must credit the image's creator under all CC licences.

Using images from Google images can put you and your site at risk. This is both because the images can be perceived as duplicates and because the images may be copyrighted. You can use stock image sites to overcome this. For example Canva, Unsplash, Pixabay etc.

Use websites like wikipedia or Unsplash. Just remember to give picture credits to the publisher.

Just to make clear for people: Wikipedia images are not all copyright free. Many are used under CC license and you need to do attribution. (As you say, give picture credits to the publisher).

If you look at this image you can see it have information for how to use it:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:pimoroni_Black_Hat_Hack3r_Boards_(29618305461).png
So Wikipedia makes it easy to follow creative commons rules, but you must check if you need to do the attribution or not.
