Copyright and Permissions Information

The images in our photo collections are copyrighted.  However, our intention is to be generous in granting use of the images for personal, educational, and church use.  Since we get many questions about what is allowed, we have made a chart for allowed uses and those which require separate permission.  Feel free to email us at permissions283 AT bibleplaces.com if you have questions.

Without purchase

Pictures from this website may be used on another website or blog, with the following restrictions. You may not use more than 10 images, the size of the images must be not more than 600 pixels wide, and the images must include a credit link on each page they are used to BiblePlaces.com.

Our goal with this policy is to be fair and generous.  (Compare with many other companies that charge high fees per image, restrict use of an image to a single use, and restrict use of an image to a limited duration.)  For other uses, see our page about licensing photos.
