| Guide to choosing a license
Is your file...
- a screenshot? – if the image is a screenshot of the game, regardless of what appears in it, or who took it, use the screenshot license.
- a screenshot from the Model Viewer? – images of models must also use the screenshot license.
- an artwork? – this includes images from the Official Blog, comics, drawings, concept art, or other Valve imagery of the game.
- an audio file? – all audio responses, music or other sound effects from the game itself must use the audio license.
- extracted from the game? – this includes official backpack icons, low-resolution achievement icons, or other imagery that has been extracted from the game's .GCF cache files.
- an item name image? – all item name images must use the public domain license, as they are ineligible for copyright.
If your image does not fall into the above, please see Team Fortress Wiki: Licensing images for a full list of all available licenses. |
