Is it okay if I include some backgrounds in my story from Pinterest ? (Of course I WILL give credit )

I haven’t even read Country Heart, and didn’t know what background the author used. :joy: :joy: :joy:

You can change my hairstyle. And my hair color can also be brown black if that’s your preference.

A lot of authors use backgrounds off google/pinterest, so not surprised, it happens a lot. We’re trying to avoid them from using it because it’s copyright.

I noticed this right away so this would be copyrighted but they clearly missed it or had never seen these star wars figures before. So the responsibility will be on you because they don’t notice everything.

Moved to Art Resources since this is about backgrounds. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about creating topics, and feel free to PM me if you’ve got questions. :smiley:

You definitely can’t use any of them from Pinterest and Google, even with credit.
Not every copyrighted image contains a watermark therefore it’s not a foolproof way of testing if it’s a safe to use image.

Some of these images will belong to other apps as well, like one of your examples you’ve included…


(This one in the middle)
Is actually a background from the Choices app, therefore they own the copyright to that image.

Credit doesn’t permit useage. To remain on the safe side use images from people’s drives, or websites such as pixabay.

There’re tons of backgrounds without a watermark but they’re still copyrighted. I could suggest maybe looking for an “Episode backgrounds” category on pininterest and then sharing the backgrounds here to ask if someone knows the owner. This is gonna be a long process tho.
Other alternatives would be to check out Episode life, Unsplash, Pixabay, and the drives of bg creators like @/CinnamonToast.
