• Free stock media for AI content creators

  AI content creators can safely start with public-domain and CC0 sources such as The Met Open Access, Smithsonian Open Access, NASA, and the Library of Congress. Always verify the original source terms before use; this guidance is informational only and not legal advice.

• Free stock media for commercial use

  For commercial use, prefer CC0 and public-domain sources and keep evidence of the license terms. Some sources, such as NASA, apply additional restrictions for logos, identifiable people, endorsements, and merchandising. Always verify the original source terms; this is informational only, not legal advice.

• Attribution rules for free stock media

  Attribution is not required under CC0 and public-domain licenses but is recommended as good practice. Some sources require or recommend credit. Copy the attribution text from the asset record and always verify the original source terms; this is informational only, not legal advice.

• Public-domain stock media

  Public-domain media is free of copyright restrictions and can generally be used without permission. StockMediaHub pilot sources with public-domain material include The Met Open Access, Smithsonian Open Access, and the Library of Congress. Always verify the original source terms; this is informational only, not legal advice.

• AI workflow prompts for stock media

  StockMediaHub publishes static prompt templates that help creators use AI assistants for license checks, attribution drafts, and workflow planning. Prompts are informational only and do not replace verifying the original source terms.
