When using high-quality imagery for your projects, understanding the legal framework is just as important as the visual appeal. At Holipix, we believe in empowering creativity without the red tape. Our Royalty-Free (RF) License is designed to provide maximum flexibility for bloggers, designers, and marketers while ensuring a clear understanding of how our festive and holiday photos can be used.
What Does “Royalty-Free” Mean at Holipix?
Contrary to popular belief, “Royalty-Free” does not necessarily mean “copyright-free.” Instead, it means that after obtaining the image (which is free on our platform), you do not have to pay a royalty or a fee each time you use it.
The Holipix Royalty-Free License grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, and perpetual right to use our photos according to our simple safety guidelines.
What You CAN Do with Holipix Photos
Our license is built to support various creative and commercial endeavors. You are free to:
- Commercial Use: Use photos for commercial purposes, including digital advertisements, social media marketing, and promotional banners for holiday sales.
- Editorial Content: Enhance your blog posts, news articles, and travel guides with our high-resolution holiday images.
- Personal Projects: Use our photos for personal crafts, greeting cards, invitations, or desktop wallpapers.
- Modification: You can crop, filter, add text, or otherwise modify Holipix photos to fit your brand’s aesthetic.
- Global Distribution: Since the license is worldwide, your content can be viewed and distributed in any country.
What You CANNOT Do (Prohibited Uses)
To protect our community of photographers and the integrity of the platform, certain restrictions apply:
- No Reselling: You cannot sell the photos as standalone files or as part of a gallery on other stock photo platforms.
- No Redistribution: You may not create a competing service by redistributing Holipix images as a wallpaper or stock collection.
- Trademark/Logo: You cannot use Holipix photos as part of a trademark, design mark, or brand logo.
- Defamatory Use: Using photos in a way that depicts people, brands, or locations in a negative, offensive, or defamatory light is strictly prohibited.
Do You Need to Give Attribution?
While attribution is not required under the Holipix Royalty-Free License, it is always greatly appreciated. Giving credit to “Holipix” or the specific photographer helps our community grow and allows us to continue providing free, high-quality holiday resources for everyone.
Why Our License is Designer-Friendly
By removing the complexity of traditional licensing, Holipix allows you to focus on what matters most: your content. You don’t have to worry about expiring licenses or geographic restrictions. Whether you are building a website for a Christmas festival or a brochure for a summer resort, our license ensures you are legally covered.
