Tips for different scenarios

Precise selection of images for office use

The biggest worry when looking for office images is insufficient resolution, which makes them look blurry in slides. All images on Hippopx are high-quality original assets, and you can download them directly in device-specific sizes. For example, choose a 1920*1080 image for a desktop wallpaper, and there’s no need to stretch or adjust PowerPoint backgrounds yourself, saving plenty of layout time.

If you’re working on a last-minute project, you don’t need to spend time checking copyright — just download and use. No energy wasted on compliance reviews, which is especially handy when you’re up against a deadline.

Size adaptation for content creation

Images for content creation need to match platform-specific sizes — for example, Xiaohongshu requires portrait format while Weibo requires landscape. Hippopx’s size adaptation feature meets these needs exactly, so you don’t have to crop or adjust images yourself. Searching specific keywords like “West Lake in Hangzhou” or “café food” also returns results that fit your creative needs.

Selecting assets for commercial design

When looking for basic assets for posters and promotional pages, just pick architecture or fashion photography with clear themes. No need to shoot your own or seek others’ authorisation — you can adjust details later according to your design needs, saving considerable preparation time.

Small details to note when using it

Hippopx images are licensed under the CC0 agreement. In theory, they can be used for both personal and commercial purposes, without attribution or payment. However, there is one point to note: some photos may lack model or property releases, and may contain copyrighted brand logos, personal belongings, and similar content, so extra care is needed when using them.

For example, when using images featuring people, confirm whether a model release exists; when using images with brand logos, confirm whether commercial use is permitted. Spending 10 seconds checking an image’s licence information before each use can help you avoid most copyright disputes, sparing you the effort of fixing problems afterwards.

If you need large amounts of compliant assets, this tool’s advantages become even more obvious: it is free of charge yet offers high-quality content. Whether you’re a designer or an ordinary office worker, it is quite convenient to use.
