Free and Open Content on the Web

The vast majority of content on the internet is licensed under a Creative Commons license, which allows users to copy, distribute, and adapt the content for any purpose, including commercial use. This helps to ensure that the internet remains a free and open platform for sharing information and ideas.

Respecting Copyright

While most photos on Pexels are released under the Pexels license, some photos are also subject to the Creative Commons Zero license (CC0). Both licenses are similar and allow for the following:

• Use all photos free of charge for non-commercial and commercial purposes.
• Edit and modify the photos as needed.
• Use the photos without attribution (although it is appreciated).

It is important to note that not all photos on the internet are free to use. When in doubt, it is always best to contact the copyright holder for permission.
