What to do if there is no webpage photo or to put photos larger than a webpage photo on Pinterest
Add “Description”
and click “Pin it”
Click on “Edit” to
add web address
Add exact (NOT a

Locate free images suitable for non-commercial use

Guidelines for using FREE images for non-commercial
• Follow individual website image citation guidelines – DO NOT use in a manner that suggests the photographer is endorsing something you are doing.
• READ CAREFULLY – not all photos in a photo gallery may be non-copyrighted!
• BEWARE of downloading “free” photos from questionable websites –some might harm your computer.
