Photos To Use Is A Gallery Of Public Domain Photos

Photostouse.com provides our visitors with access to a growing collection of photographs and images which have been released by their creators into the public domain.


The Public Domain Is Defined As:

" The realm or status of property rights that belong to the community at large, are unprotected by copyright or patent, and are subject to appropriation by anyone. "

What this means to you is that the photographs and images published on Photos To Use are:

These are free pictures, and you can use them for whatever you want to. There are no copyright or trademark restrictions on the photographs we host, and no licensing or royalty fees are required to use these images in your work.

Of course, you can still provide credit to the photographer or organization that donated the photographs you use. Many of our contributors also provide a donation link with their images if you feel like supporting them in a more direct fashion.

No licenses, payments, donations or royalties are ever required to use the photographs that our contributors have released here!

While we encourage you to support our contributors the Photos To Use website is an effort to expand the public domain directly while providing both encouragement and resources for others who may wish to donate their unused works to the public domain for use and preservation.
