When creating a website or YouTube video, there may be situations where you want to use EnvatoElements images or videos.
Usually, when you bring in images from other sources, you must write the citation or exhibit source.
How should exhibits and citations be written when using EnvatoElements photos?
I checked the official website.
In conclusion, it is not necessary to indicate the source of the citation.
There is no obligation to write the author’s name or EnvatoElements.
However, there are some patterns where it is better to write author information, which we will discuss in detail.
Basically, no credit notation is required.
The information on the official website states that citation notations are not required for images and videos.
Do I need to credit the author of the item?
No, it is not mandatory to give the author credit. But we do encourage that if your end product has credits as part of its design (such as a film or TV show), please credit the author and Envato. Also, as the author retains ownership of the item, you should not claim copyright.

You do not need to write a citation even if you process a part of the image or paste it as is.
However, if the film or television program has a staff roll, credit notation is recommended for use in the film or television program.
It is also safe to credit items for sale, such as books.
Copyright belongs to the author.
Photos and videos distributed on EnvatoElements do not require a credit statement, but the copyright of the work remains with the author.
The authorization to download the photos belongs to the author, so it is forbidden to sell the photos as is as posters or to make T-shirts.
No copyright can be claimed on the final work.
You also may not own the copyrights to any products using EnvatoElements materials.
Can I claim complete ownership and authorship of something I have created using an Envato Elements item?
You cannot claim ownership or authorship for any item which is included in the end product which uses those items.
