1. What “Editorial Use” Means
Photos marked for Editorial Use Only can be used only for non-commercial purposes like:
- News articles
- Blog posts
- Documentaries
- Educational content
- Social media (if used in a factual, non-commercial context)
These photos cannot be used for commercial projects — such as ads, product packaging, promotional videos, or anything that sells a product, service, or brand.

- You must not use them for any purpose that could harm the reputation of the people, brands, or locations shown.
3. User Responsibility
If you download and use an image:
- You are fully responsible for making sure your use follows copyright and editorial laws.
- If you’re unsure, please ask a legal expert before publishing.
- You must always credit the photographer or source, if requested.
4. Prohibited Uses
