Key Differences to Remember
Personal Use
Personal use means the photo is for your own enjoyment or non-commercial purposes. You're not making money from the image or using it to promote a business, product, or service.
Business Use
Business use involves any commercial application where the photo helps generate revenue, promote a brand, or support business operations. This requires a commercial license.
