Can I Use Any Image I Find Online For My Books?

• You need to make sure you have the rights to use commercially, as well as if you must alter the image or not.
• There are 100+ free image sites, one photographer or artist will post their image not just on one of those sites, but all 100+. Keep in mind when google searches your images, if they see 100 images, they make think (not saying it is right), that you just took the image and they email you (or worse) and want to see you have permission to use. Then you will be doing some back and forth with them. Sometimes you may see an image on 100+ free sites, but someone just took it from somewhere, and post it on those free sites. 
• Do not use trademarks or copyrights. A lot of common sense has to come into your decision. Don't use Disney, Marvel, Nike, etc logo's or images. 
• In the end it is best to find an image you can use commercially, and have permission to modify it. Then making the image your own by adding to the image you got, by adding little details, elements, or whatever. Before you add words to it, do a google image search, click here and upload your photo and make sure there is nothing like yours you created.
