iStock Photo

A huge selection of top-notch, royalty-free multimedia content is offered by the stock photography and video service iStock. It was established in 2000, and Getty Images purchased it in 2006. Millions of pictures, graphics, videos, and audio files are available on iStock, and they may be used in a variety of creative projects including websites, advertisements, print materials, and more with the proper licensing. Customers can browse and buy certain files or sign up for a plan that gives them access to a set number of downloads each month. For photographers and other artists who want to sell their original works on the platform, iStock also has a contributor program.

The micro-stock division of Getty Images is iStock Photo. The primary distinction between the two is that your images on iStock are non-exclusive, meaning you can also sell your pictures through other companies. You will, however, receive a considerably smaller commission than with exclusive images. Depending on whether the photographs are exclusive or not, the commission varies from 15% to 45%.
