You don't need our permission when you want to use an unaltered screenshot of our homepage (Google.com) or the search results page for instructional or illustrative purposes. This applies for print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or digital (web page, DVD, CD) formats.
When we say "unaltered", we mean no superimposed graphics, photos, or ad copy on the screenshot and no changes to the way our product looks. We also don't give permission for advertisers to use our Google search results page in connection with advertising products or services (for instance, showing a top ranking on Google).
If you'd like to use a Google search box on your website, we offer several options. You don't need to obtain permission to use an unaltered Google-branded search box on your site. However, you cannot use a Google-branded search box in your marketing creative, so please do not plan on featuring one in your advertising or other marketing collateral without our permission.
For permission to use Google Maps and Google Earth, we've built a tool which will help you understand the requirements for different use cases. The tool will ask you up to four questions about the content you plan to use and how you will use it. It will then display the relevant usage requirements and guidelines.

If you would like permission to use screenshots or brand features for other Google products, please check out the product-specific guidelines below.
