This Google Developers page introduces the feature and shows how it looks in Google Images search results. To be ready for the launch, Google started collecting rights and licensing metadata from images on the Web already in mid-February 2020. Google Images launched the optional display of a Licensable badge and of two links to web pages maintained by the image supplier in the results of all image searches by the end of August 2020. Google may also show a text linked to a web page where a licence to re-use the image can be obtained – using the Licensor URL field.Īs these fields are defined by the IPTC Photo Metadata Standard, we are taking the opportunity to show you the best way that each metadata field can be filled in based on the definitions in the standard. On 31 August 2020 extended this feature to also display across an image a Licensable badge and a link to its licence information – using the Web Statement of Rights field – under defined conditions in the results of all image searches. It works by reading the corresponding embedded IPTC photo metadata fields from the image file. Next to a selected photo the image’s creator, credit line and a copyright notice are shown instantly.
