If you run a blog, stock photography can be pretty important. Last week Getty images announced that they’re allowing you to embed almost 33 million of their images on a blog, tumblr or twitter for free. Considering that they would normally charge hundreds of $$$ for this sort of use, that’s a pretty nice deal.

Just use this link, Getty Embed, to show only the images for which this is available then search as normal.

Click on the image to bring up the preview window. Below the image you should see links for twitter, tumblr and embed code.

While not all images are available, they doing this for over half of their catalog. They’re not fools and they realize that most stock photos are ripped off. This at least gives them credit.

Bravo.
