It depends on the license and the use you want to do of it. Click on the "" icon next to it to read more about the license.

Keep in mind that if you see a Creative Commons license specified in a wallpaper page it may still be possible that the uploader, in violation of our terms and the law, specified the license in question without having the right to do so.

In general you should always get a written permission from the copyright holder, we do not currently provide a financial insurance in any case, even if the information displayed is wrong or inaccurate.

It means that the uploader of that particular image didn't tell us, at the moment of uploading it, what the license of that image is. The ability to specify a license wasn't available on this website on its early days, so maybe that's why the uploader didn't give us more informations about the license.

If you'd like to use your image in your project you should read the related question.

Chances are that, unless the uploader violated our terms, he/she is the author of the image or at least he/she knows who the author is. Just sign up and send him/her a message.

In case the uploader doesn't answer your message in a timely manner, you may try to perform a reverse image search on Google of that image, it may lead you to the first website where that image has been posted (probably the author's website).
