For those wondering what a public domain image actually means, it’s basically a photo, clip art or vector whose copyright has expired or never existed in the first place. Public domain images can be used by virtually anyone for both personal or even commercial purposes.
Moreover, Public domain (PD) images can be used freely without permission or attribution, while the other popular category—Creative Commons (CC) images can be used freely as long as they are properly attributed to their creator.
