Google today launched new features in Google Images “to help people use images on the web responsibly.” From a report:

_The features should benefit photographers, as they help people both identify photos that [can be licensed as well as find out how to properly license them](https://petapixel.com/2020/08/31/google-images-launches-licensable-badge-and-search-filter/). Google Images’ new “Licensable” badge, which had been in beta testing since February 2020, is now live. “[W]ith a seemingly infinite number of images online, finding the right image to use, and knowing how to use that image responsibly, isn’t always a simple task,” Google says. Google’s new Licensable badge aims to make it easier for photo buyers to find photos they can license. Whenever a publisher or photographer provides licensing information for a photo (by providing structured data or IPTC photo metadata), Google will display a badge that says “Licensable” over the photo in search results._
