But what if you have a more specialized project? The standard license in iStock is a turn-key way to use an image in most projects while still covering your business legally, provided you use the content within the terms of the license agreement.
But if your project requires any of the uses below, there are reasonably priced options for adding the right extended usage rights. What does this mean? Of course, if you have any questions, or are having trouble adding extended licenses, please reach out to our support team.

Photographers are required to get model release forms in order to do so. Make sure you read the fine print at a free stock site to see how they manage model release forms. You might find that they rely on an honor system and trust photographers to have the appropriate releases. This lack of documentation could leave you vulnerable to a legal challenge. Another source for free stock images is Creative Commons, which has a database you can search and filter according to the type of CC license—from public domain to limited non-commercial.
But you can run into the same issues as with other free sites. Do the photos depict protected trademarks or brands? Did the models sign a release form giving permission to use their image? One way to avoid these sorts of tricky legal issues is to use paid stock image sites like iStock.
Paid stock sites also have robust search engines that allow you to drill down using filters to find exactly what you are looking for, including subject matter, type and number of people, ethnicity, orientation, resolution, type of license, etc.
Learn more about buying stock photos. Professional photographers can leverage their work by selling photos on paid stock photo sites. Stock sites vary in how they accept and compensate photographers. Some allow anyone to join their community and offer images for sale. Others, like iStock and Getty Images , require photographers to apply and submit samples of their work.
Be sure that no matter what site you use to sell your work that you retain your copyright. Most sites will allow you to sell your images elsewhere unless you agree to an exclusive contract. In that case, you can only sell to the one site, but you should expect to get a higher percentage in royalty fees. The more photos you sell, the more money you can make. When it comes to figuring out which types of photos are in demand, many sites will provide you with guidelines on what their users are looking for.
At iStock, we provide artists with creative briefs and direction on what our most popular content is. The best stock photos are high resolution, technically precise with good lighting and composition, and illustrate a universal concept like togetherness, love, family, etc. Are certain colors trending? What about subjects? On iStock, we have a list of trending searches on our stock photo search page that can offer insight into what people are looking for.
Copyright law protects intellectual property. Before copyright law was amended in , creators had to apply for copyright protection. Copyright protection is now assigned automatically. One way creators protect their copyrighted images is to watermark them. Remember, although copyright laws may be similar globally, there are still some requirements that may not be covered by various laws.
Therefore, what might be legal in one country could be a violation in another. Copyright-free is not a legal term and is often used out of confusion. Some people might use it instead of royalty-free, but that is incorrect. Royalty-free stock images still have a copyright owned by someone, which could be the creator or the site licensing the image.
The image is being licensed without requiring you to pay royalties for ongoing use. Copyright-free is sometimes used for Creative Commons licenses. But this is also incorrect.
CC licenses govern how the copyright holder is allowing their work to be used by others. The work is still copyrighted. Public domain images are also confused for copyright-free. Photographs, illustrations, and videos come in standardized file formats that work across platforms. Understanding the capabilities of these file formats — and the difference between raster and vector images—is important before you start downloading and using stock images and footage. The most common file type for images.
Lossy compression allows images—particularly photos—to use less storage space by removing redundant tones from the image. If a JPEG image is saved with too low a quality, it can become pixelated. While these file formats each have their uses, JPEG is the most common and can be converted into any of these, if needed. EPS stands for Encapsulated Postscript and is a type of vector file.
Unlike a raster, which uses a dot matrix grid to recreate an image digitally with pixels, vector files reproduce the image as shapes. This means illustrations and icons that are drawn can be saved as vector files—like EPS—and can scale up or down in size without losing quality or becoming pixelated. You can use the same file for a tiny icon or a giant billboard.
Vector files are best for logos, illustrations, and icons. Make sure you download the correct version for your purposes. Learn more about EPS files and how to use them. This type of file compresses audio and video separately and can even include subtitle information.
The MP4 format has a high compression rate, making the video files much smaller and easier to upload, download, and stream. MOV is another common video file format that was developed by Apple and is commonly used when video editing on a Mac. MOV files are generally higher quality but also require a larger file size. MOV files are best for larger projects that require editing video clips and combining them with elements like text, music, or graphics. There have been numerous video file formats over the years that you might run across.
Converting file formats from one to another is a relatively simple process that a variety of software programs can handle.
