Image Terms and Licensing


Image licensing can sometimes be difficult to understand. In the questions and answers below, we do our best to provide answers to common questions that have come up.


Website Builder works with multiple image providers, and it is important to know the source of the image you are considering using on your site as different images have different licensing terms. Once you select an image in the image picker, you will see the source of the image on the right side (highlighted in red in the image below). Some of the images might not have a defined source and will not show that information. In the questions and answers, make sure to refer to the answer that corresponds to the provider source of your image.


For the full terms related to the usage of the Website Builder platform, refer to our terms of service and privacy policy. In any conflict between what is written here and our terms of service, the terms of service prevail.
