Copyright Information

The images on the Pictorial Library of Bible Lands 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 little chart for allowed uses and those which require separate permission.  Feel free to contact us if you have questions.

Pictures from this website may be used on another website, with the following restrictions.  You may not use more than 10 images, the size of the images must be not more than 400 pixels wide, and the images must include a credit link on each page they are used to BiblePlaces.com.

 

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