Check If You Can Use an Image

Every image in the Easia Media Library includes licensing information that explains how it may be used. This category helps you check what you're allowed to do, what you must include, and when attribution is required — so you can publish with confidence.

Overview

Before publishing an image in your website, brochure, proposal or campaign, check its usage information in Asset Preview. Three fields tell you whether the image can be used and whether attribution is required.

Where to check

Open an asset in Asset Preview and review:

Terms & Conditions
Copyright
Photographer / License

How to understand the licensing information

Each label tells you what you can use the image for and whether attribution is required. See the full breakdown in Understand What Each Usage Label Allows

A quick checklist before publishing

Check the Terms & Conditions — what is this image approved for?
Check the Copyright field — who owns it?
Check the Photographer / License field — is a credit required, and if so, what wording?

You don't need legal expertise to use these fields correctly — just check all three together before you publish.

Best practices

Review the Terms & Conditions, Copyright and Photographer / License fields together, not in isolation.
Include attribution whenever required.
Use the image only for its permitted purpose.

Pro Tip: Always check Terms & Conditions, Copyright and Photographer / License together — one field alone rarely tells the full story. [Insert screenshot: Asset Preview with metadata panel]
