Use Getty images in your blog posts free of charge!

Here’s good news, bloggies! Now you can use some Getty Images photos free of charge in your blog posts and social media blurts.

Applicable images will have an embedding tool icon ( </> ) that provides a piece of HTML code to insert in your post (on the text tab). Keep in mind, however, that the borrowed image won’t be stored in your WordPress media collection but instead on Getty servers. Getty can snatch them away from you at any time for any reason.

There’s also a credit line in the image, which strikes me as a bit larger than necessary, but most of the time that won’t bother viewers, I imagine. You can also alter the size of these images by editing the code yourself.

Have fun using high-quality photos — legally!
