I always wanted to add some images to my posts to make them eye-catchy. But searching for a properly licensed image with no restrictions for commercial use was always a pain. Even though Flickr was little helpful, sometimes it failed to give me apt images.
Recently Google has introduced a new feature to search for creative commons licensed images in it’s image search engine. Using this features, the image search results can be filtered to show only the images which are allowed for commercial reuse and licensed with creative commons. To search for creative commons licensed images, go to Advanced Image Search page and then select the various license types for the Usage Rights option. Currently it is possible to search for the images, which are:
- labeled for reuse
- labeled for commercial reuse
- labeled for reuse with modification
- labeled for commercial reuse with modification
Why waiting!? Go experiment it.

I find this feature pretty useful, though the no of clicks is too much, they should have added some direct option from Google image search page instead of advanced search.
Thanks for Linkback though
based upon the acceptance they get from the community, Google may move the feature to Google Image search home page in near future.
