Why these images are free

National flag designs are symbols of state. In most jurisdictions they are explicitly excluded from copyright protection or considered public domain. The specific image files distributed from this site are sourced from public-domain repositories (primarily Wikimedia Commons) and are themselves in the public domain or released under permissive terms equivalent to CC0.

We provide the files as-is, without warranty. We don't claim ownership over the flag designs themselves — they belong to the nations they represent.

Attribution (optional)

Attribution isn't required, but it's appreciated. If you'd like to credit, any of these are fine:

· Flag from WorldFlag.org
· WorldFlag.org

Attributed images (exceptions)

A few flag files are not public domain. They are used here under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license — if you reuse them, please credit the original author, link the license, and keep the same license on any modifications:

· Flag of Saba — by Mysid via Wikimedia Commons, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0.

What's NOT covered

This license applies only to flag image files. The following are not in the public domain:

· Site code, design, layout, branding — copyright WorldFlag.org
· Any third-party content embedded on the site (logos, advertising creative, etc.)
