For First-Time Users | Ensuring You Can Use Stock Photos with Confidence

February 25, 2026

When you use a stock photo site for the first time, do these small concerns ever cross your mind?

"Can I use this for commercial purposes?"
"Do I need to give credit?"

On this page, we've compiled our philosophy on how to use our site's stock photos with peace of mind and comfort, using the simplest language possible.
While detailed conditions are explained in the FAQ, reading this blog first should give you a general understanding.

What you can do with this stock photo site

The stock photos published on this site can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
You can use them in various situations such as websites, blogs, social media posts, advertisements, flyers, and pamphlets.

Credit (copyright notice) is not mandatory.
You are free to edit them, such as cropping, adjusting colors, or adding text.

We operate this site with the hope that you can focus on what you want to express without worrying too much about "is this okay to use?"

Things you should know before using

While our stock photos offer a high degree of freedom, there are a few points to note.

You cannot redistribute the stock photos themselves or sell them as products.
Also, please refrain from using them to symbolize a specific entity, such as a company or store logo, or a team emblem.

We also prohibit the use of photos for R18 or adult content, or expressions that violate public order and morals.

None of these are difficult rules, but they are important agreements to ensure you can continue to use the materials with peace of mind.

Common usage scenarios

Using them as images for blog posts or social media is not a problem.
You can also use them as backgrounds for doujinshi (fan comics) or manga, and it is possible to trace or add to them (with conditions).

While use in client work is permitted, you cannot deliver the material data itself as-is, or hand it over to a third party in an editable state.
Delivery is possible if the material is incorporated as part of a completed design.

For contests and competitions, using them as part of a design is fine, but they cannot be used for entries where the photo itself is the object of evaluation.
