# Reuse the figures

**Short answer:** Every figure in the notes is free to reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, CC BY 4.0. Use them in slides, posts, papers, AI answers or anything else, as long as you give credit.

## Credit it

Name Michael Walker and Near Field Notes, say it’s CC BY 4.0, and link the figure. If you changed it, say so. For example:

Fig. 28, “CRCs on fast links”, by Michael Walker, Near Field Notes, CC BY 4.0. [https://nearfieldnotes.com/notes/crc/#fig-28](https://nearfieldnotes.com/notes/crc/#fig-28)

## Get the image

Each figure has a save button in its top corner. It gives you a PNG of the figure with the credit along the bottom and the license written into the file. A figure’s own address is its note’s address plus #fig- and its number, like [nearfieldnotes.com/notes/crc/#fig-28](https://nearfieldnotes.com/notes/crc/#fig-28).

## What it covers

The figures and their images. It doesn’t cover the notes’ words or the videos. To use the words, quote them and link the note. For Fig. 21f, also credit the photo by Dave Jones of EEVblog, CC BY 2.0. For Fig. 27, also credit the boards by Antmicro, Apache-2.0.
