Providing attribution allows you to use Vecteezy content without buying credits or a subscription. This helps spread the word about our platform so that we can continue to grow and create more free resources every day. 

If you are using free Vecteezy content in a digital format you can simply copy and paste the attribution HTML that is provided in the license pop-up. Just click on the “How do I provide attribution” link below the download button on the download page.

If you are using content in other formats, including print, merchandise or Production, you are required to attribute “Vecteezy.com” into the scrolling credits at the end of a production or printed on the materials or merchandise. Attribution should be of such color, size, and prominence so it is clear and easily readable by the unaided eye. If you do not want to provide attribution, you can purchase a [Pro Standard License](https://www.vecteezy.com/signups/join_premium).

Attribution is only required when you use [Free content](https://eezy.kustomer.help/en_us/rJ7Tvxswt) that has a [Free License](https://eezy.kustomer.help/en_us/BkksvgovK). If you upgrade to a Pro Standard License by purchasing one with credits or becoming a Pro member, then Attribution is no longer required.

_Note: All Pro members get a Pro Standard License included with all Free and Pro content downloads._
