Citing Images in APA

The following information was created by Maria Barakovskykh of SCF Libraries, State College of Florida Manatee/Sarasota:

Images, diagrams and other visual artistic works should be cited as any other type of work. Below are some examples:

Try to find as much information as possible when citing an image and include it in the citation.

Basic Format:

Artist Last Name, First Initial. Second Initial. (Year). Title of the artwork [Format]. Retrieved from URL.

Image Without Author:

Title of work [Type of work]. (Year image was created). Retrieved from URL

Image With No Author, Title, or Date

[Subject and type of work]. Retrieved from URL

Note: You still need to cite the image even if you are missing much of the information. Please try to find images that do provide this information.

Google Images:

Go to the original location (website) of the image and cite in one of the formats above.

EXAMPLES:

Note: Each Retrieved from source name is hyperlinked to the original page the image resides on
