The article explains that EvernodeAI uses images from Shutterstock (fully licensed; no credit needed) and Unsplash (credit required, which EvernodeAI auto‑adds). It also shares guidance on selecting images and handling attribution.
Image Licensing & Usage Guidelines at EvernodeAI
At EvernodeAI, we take image licensing seriously. Whether for blog posts, social media content, or other marketing materials, we ensure that every image we use is properly licensed and credited. This article explains where our images come from, how they can be used, and what credit is required.
Our Image Sources
We use two primary sources for images:
-
Shutterstock
-
EvernodeAI maintains a licensed Shutterstock library.
-
Images from Shutterstock are fully licensed for our use across blogs, websites, and social media channels.
-
No additional attribution is required when we use Shutterstock images, since licensing covers unrestricted usage.
-
-
Unsplash
-
EvernodeAI also integrates directly with Unsplash, which provides access to a vast library of free-to-use images.
-
Unsplash requires that image authors be credited with proper attribution, including a link back to the source.
-
To make compliance simple, EvernodeAI automatically adds the necessary credit when an image from Unsplash is used in a blog post or auto-published to social media.
-
Attribution Example for Unsplash Images
When an Unsplash image is used, EvernodeAI will automatically generate a credit line at the bottom of the post or within the image metadata. Example:
Photo by Photographer’s Name on Unsplash
You don’t need to manually add this — our system handles it for you.
Best Practices for Team Members
-
Use Shutterstock first when possible. These images are fully licensed and require no attribution, making them simpler for branded content.
-
If using Unsplash, let EvernodeAI handle the credit. Never remove or alter attribution added by the system.
-
Avoid outside sources. Do not upload or use images from personal accounts, Google Images, or other websites unless approved by EvernodeAI’s marketing team and confirmed to be properly licensed.
Why This Matters
Proper image licensing protects EvernodeAI legally and ethically. It also respects the rights of the photographers and creators whose work helps us tell our story. By following these guidelines, we ensure that our content is professional, compliant, and respectful of creative rights.
In short:
-
Shutterstock images = fully licensed, no credit needed.
-
Unsplash images = always credited, handled automatically by EvernodeAI.
