What are "Royalty-Free" photos? Each stock photo in the Index Stock Imagery collection is offered as either a Royalty Free Photo or a Rights Managed photo. When you license a Royalty-Free photo, you pay a one-time fee for an image. You can then use the image for different projects for an unlimited time period. You cannot sell a royalty free photo to someone else. You can include a royalty free stock photo as part of a product like the cover of a CD, graphics in software, etc. The majority of the stock photos in our image library are “Rights Managed.” This means that you license the right to use the stock photo for a specific use for a defined time period (which is usually one year). For example, you purchase a license for a stock photo to be used in a brochure, quarter page in size, print run of 50,000 for one year. If you then need a different use, you will also need an additional license.
Why are some stock photos Royalty Free photos and others are not?
