_Last updated: September 26, 2026_
|
|
|
|
By using direct-img.link ("the service"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.
|
|
|
|
## Rights
|
|
|
|
- Images come from third-party websites and belong to their owners. We don't own, license, or endorse them.
|
|
- You are responsible for making sure you have the rights to any image you display or publish.
|
|
- free.direct-img.link only serves images that Openverse or Wikimedia Commons mark as free of restrictions (public domain or CC0). These labels come from the sources and can be wrong, so check the original before relying on them.
|
|
|
|
## Results can be wrong, change, or be inappropriate
|
|
|
|
- Results are picked automatically and may be inaccurate, misleading, offensive, or explicit.
|
|
- The image for a query can change without notice, for example when the cache expires.
|
|
|
|
## Acceptable use
|
|
|
|
Don't use the service to:
|
|
|
|
- Intentionally get around rate limits (for example by rotating IPs or using proxies)
|
|
- Bulk-download, scrape, or build datasets from results
|
|
- Overload, attack, or disrupt the service
|
|
- Search for or distribute illegal content, or break any law
|
|
|
|
We may block queries, IPs, or traffic that we believe are abusive.
|
|
|
|

|
|
We may change, limit, or shut down the service at any time without notice.
