What is Imgembed?
Imgembed is an online platform, launched by The Creative Finder, that promotes the fair use of images online.
It lets all image creators track where their images are being used online, and set permissions for every website using them. They are also able to monetize their images by setting CPM pricing.
Blogs and websites are able to use images for free by promoting the creators ethically with the automatic attribution.

What is the difference between The Creative Finder and Imgembed?
The Creative Finder is a professional network serving creative professionals and businesses.
Imgembed serves all image creators, including non-professionals.
»
How does Imgembed differ from Creative Commons?
For images licensed under Creative Commons, users will have to download, then upload and manually add attribution to all images.
Imgembed offers image embeds, which generates a code for websites to copy/paste within their HTML code. The attribution will be regenerated on every view of the image, and does not require any manual coding/upload or download.
»
Will my images from The Creative Finder show up on Imgembed, or vice versa?
Images from Imgembed will not appear on The Creative Finder network as that is a solely professional network.
However, The Creative Finder's professional members can choose to enable embedding for specific images, and the embed-enabled images will show up on Imgembed.

Who owns my images after I've imported them to Imgembed?
Imgembed supports the fair use of images online. Your images belong to you.
»
Is Imgembed free to use? Are there any fees/charges?
Yes, Imgembed is free for all to use. We only take a 30% cut when creators manage to sell their images by CPM pricing. Otherwise, there are no charges or fees.
»
Can I disable embedding for my images on Imgembed?
No. Imgembed supports the fair and ethical use of images online. Since our service is built to give proper attribution to creators, all images uploaded will be enabled as embed-enabled by default, since we created a better alternative to others 'stealing' your images and using them without permission.
However, creators may make use of our URL tracking features to set permissions (such as deactivating images or adding watermarks) to specific websites using their images.
Creative professionals on The Creative Finder may disable image embedding features with their professional accounts for commercial reasons.
