Commercial licence use of adobe images

[jacob_4383]

Hi, I was wondering if someone can clarify and confrim what I can and connaot do with images I download from Adobe Stock. I was potneitlaly wanting to use images that I have downloaded onto my bsuiness webiste and social media. The images are only as an image they are not linked to my business, not branded with compnay logo or I wouldn't be selling these images its just something to look at when describing my bsuiness and webiste. 

I have used adobe express for creating my logo from scratch and it has the potential to create linkedIn banner etc but I want to make sure I know what I can and cannot use. 

Alos want to udenrstand what I need to do to make sure I am following everythting correclty, I would not be editing the photos either would jsut be placed on social media then discusing more about my business. 

Any help and guidance is much appreciated.

Licensed assets can be used according to the licensing terms. So be sure to read those and understand those. But you need to know that stock images are intended to be used commercially or non-commercially in a way that is useful to the customer (you). In short:

This means that you can use the asset modified or unmodified on your website, in advertising on displays promoting your business etc. There are very little restrictions. If you use an asset in an editorial way, like in a blog, you need to credit the author and Adobe stock, and you are limited in what modifications to apply.

Your use case as described in your post is covered by a standard licence (even the limited Adobe Express licence).

(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
