Last in our summer series regarding copyright information for parishes is a closer look at photos and images.

In addition to music and text copyright issues, most photos and graphics are under active copyright. Even things found quickly online with an internet search are almost certainly copyrighted and should not be used without appropriate permissions. There are some free-use image libraries available online (such as https://free-images.com/ and others). Shutterstock is also a common resource if you have a budget for licensing photos. Canva, an online graphic design tool, has a large library of photos. Charities can sign up for a pro account for free. Learn more at canva.com.
