Although not all of Getty’s photos are available yet via the free embed service, tens of millions of its photos, including thousands of images it just captured from the Sochi Winter Olympic Games are available now. This is really a historic moment for many of us in the blogosphere who historically have never had access to quality digital imagery. Primarily this has been due to cost vs. availability which now, won’t be a problem for many moving forward.
Other sites like YouTube have been using iFrame Ebeds for years so Getty Wisely didn’t try to re-invent the wheel with its implementation. To grab the embed code, simple click the small embed icon under an image and an popup will appear that contains the iframe embed code. According to its updated terms of service, embedded images may be used on any website, blog or social media platform. That being said, at least as of today, embedded images use is restricted to non-commercial, editorial use only. Now, back to the Olympic Winter Games and my favorite shot! Getty Images (or third parties acting on its behalf) may collect data related to use of the Embedded Viewer and embedded Getty Images Content, and reserves the right to place advertisements in the Embedded Viewer or otherwise monetize its use without any compensation to you.
