WordPress is aiming to make WordPress Photo Directory a “trusted place for the community to create, share, discover, and reuse free and openly licensed media”. It also has a search function - though the directory hasn’t fully launched yet so there may be some issues.
It’s also a new place where you can find curated high-quality photographs that you can use free of charge.
Think of it as an alternative to Wikimedia Commons and Flickr (or any other sources where you can submit your work).
It’s a new submission tool for Openverse that’s powered by WordPress. I mentioned “ WordPress Photo Directory” earlier. The rebranded version came out live in late 2021. Currently, the tool has more than 600 million image and audio media files that everyone can use freely. The end product is a media library that’s open-source without any advertising schemes. Eventually, the tool rebranded as “Openverse” taken from the combination of “open” and “universe”. It’s part of the “ Five for the Future” commitment by WordPress to contribute five percent of its resources to power the next generation of the web.
WordPress then went out and sponsored CC Search by hiring the tool’s core members. Creative Commons wanted to shut down the project because of the high hosting costs. CC Search was a tool that catalogs images with a “creative commons” license, where creators practically waived their copyright and allowed people to use their work. Creative Commons, a non-profit organization that works with legal sharing of online content, built “CC Search”. Here are some facts regarding this project: It’s an open-source project that collects all public domain media and those with open licenses so other people can use them. Basically, Openverse is a massive online library of completely free-to-use stock photos and audio.
