Searching for Images

Start a search

At the top of the Images page, type a keyword or phrase into the search box (for example, "cross,"

"thanksgiving," or "church bulletin") and click the magnifying glass. Your results will appear below in a scrolling grid.

The left-hand filter panel lets you refine your search:

Color — Color or Grayscale, plus your preferred file formats
Image Type — choose from the types of art available in your results (illustrations, photos,bulletin covers, and more)
Topic — pick a related topic, or click through to browse the full Topics A–Z list
New Art — view only the newest art, either from a specific date or a date range forward
Special Days — see a list of upcoming special days (with seasonal Christmas/Easter optionshighlighted automatically) and jump straight to related art

Click a filter to apply it; click it again to remove it. A Clear button appears whenever one or

more filters are active, so you can reset your search in one click.

Instead of (or in addition to) keywords, you can search for art tied to a specific Bible passage:

You'll see every image tagged with that scripture reference.

Click any image in your results to open its detail page, where you can download it in available

formats and see related images.

If you're a Pro subscriber, you can also send the image to the Caption Editor to add or customize

text, or open it in Canva to design with it further. See:

Try broader or alternate keywords if you don't find what you're looking for right away — "worship" instead of "praise," for example.
Not sure what to search for? Browse by Topic or Special Day instead.
Combine keyword search with filters (Color, Image Type, Topic, New Art, NLN Issue) to zero in quickly.
