Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use one of your flags in my website, presentation, or for other usages for free?

You may use a flag free of charge if you include text giving credit to 3DFlags.com on the same page where you are displaying the flag. If you are using the flag on a web page, it must also include a link to our homepage at www.3dflags.com. Please note that text giving credit to 3DFlags.com must be easily readable and appear on every page or screen where a flag graphic or animation is used.

You may not use a 3DFlags.com flag on your site for free if you are unwilling or otherwise unable to provide a link or credit to 3DFlags.com on the page where the flag is being displayed. Please view the Link and Use License Agreement for more information on the terms and conditions of free usage of our flags.

If you would like to use a flag without a link or credit to 3DFlags.com, you may purchase a license by clicking on the "Buy License" button on the page displaying the flag graphic or animation. By purchasing a license, you will have non-exclusive, royalty-free rights to use the flag. For more information, please view the Royalty-Free and Link-Free License Agreement.

Why don't you have my country/state/city flag? Can you make it for me?

Our flags are listed in alphabetical order, currently separated into two sections -- world flags, and U.S. state flags. Due to the large number of world flags, they are further separated alphabetically into four sections. If you are having trouble finding your country flag, keep in mind the following tips:

Many countries have a variety of names. So if you're looking for "Malvinas," you would actually find it under the official name, "Falklands Islands." The country flags we currently list in our gallery are the official national flags, which is usually the flag flown by citizens of the country and is used to represent the country abroad.
All country flags are listed by the short name, unabbreviated. For example, if you are looking for the U.S. flag, you should look for "United States".
We tend to use the most commonly recognized identifying name in alphabetizing a country. As such, we will not use leading words in a country name such as "the" or "Republic of" when alphabetizing. For example, "The Bahamas" will be listed with the B's, under "Bahamas, The". Similarly, "Republic of the Congo" is listed under the C's, as "Congo, Republic of the".

If your flag is not listed, please let us know via our online feedback form.

Do you sell real flags?

Although we offered real hanging/flying flags for a period of time, we are currently not offering real flags. We decided, after careful consideration, to stay focused on electronic media and graphics, which we do best. We do not want to dilute this focus with sales of real flags and flag products, and do not have plans to offer this in the future.
