What Does "Commercial Use" Actually Mean?

Many clients don't know the legal difference. Here is our straightforward guide:

Personal Use (Consumer)

Personal use means the image is used strictly for your own private enjoyment and has no connection to generating revenue, promoting a business, or marketing an organization.

  • Personal Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok stories.
  • Printing a photo to hang in your living room or office.
  • Creating a personal family photo album or keepsake.
  • Desktop wallpaper or screensaver.
Commercial Use (Business / Professional)

Commercial use means the image is used in any way to promote, endorse, advertise, or market a business, brand, product, service, or commercial organization.

  • Using the image on a company website or landing page.
  • Running paid social media ads (Meta, Google, LinkedIn).
  • Printing sales brochures, flyers, or trade show banners.
  • Editorial articles in commercial magazines and publications.
  • Product packaging, merchandise, or physical resale items.

QUALITY NOTICE: Before you UPLOAD or SUBMIT your clip(s) to Ozgo Gallery please ensure they meet these quality standards to improve the chance to sell more clips.

PROPER CLIP TRIMMING

Remove unwanted camera moves or black frames at the beginning and end.

Your clips must be steady with no shaky movements of any kind. This includes Gimbal "bobble".

SHARP FOCUS

The subject should be in Sharp Focus.

NO JUMP CUTS or SEQUENCES

Each clip must be a single continuous shot.

NOISE / PIXELATION / BANDING

Inspect your footage carefully for noise & grain (dark areas can be an issue) and other defects.

SHUTTER ARTIFACTS

"Rolling shutter", "jitter" and other shutter issues common with action cams, phones and drones (especially in AUTO mode) most likely won't sell.

REC 709 COLOUR TREATMENT

Clips should "pop" and stand out visually.

CORRECT WHITE BALANCE

Your clip must not have incorrect white balance or shifting white balance from shooting in AUTO MODE.

NO LOGOS, TRADEMARKS or RECOGNIZABLE PEOPLE

CLIP SPAMMING

Obvious clip spamming (near duplicates) is a waste of your time and our space.
