How much do your images cost?

Images are priced differently depending on the type of image you are referring to, Royalty-Free or Rights-Protected.

Royalty-free (RF)
    Royalty-free images are priced based on their individual file sizes and not on how or what you are using them for. Prices for RF images can be found by clicking on the image thumbnail, or by adding the image to your shopping cart.
Rights-managed (RM)
    Rights-managed images are priced based on how they will be licensed for usage. To find the cost of an image license, click on the "$" icon under the image thumbnail. The system will then ask for usage characteristics and download size, then will quote you a price based on such.

I saw one of your images on WebShots.com,
how can I purchase a poster/print from you?


Unfortunately, we do not sell retail reproductions of our images. We license the use of our images to other companies and organizations for specific purposes and time periods. WebShots.com maintains such a SuperStock license for the production of posters, screensavers, etc.—a license which also authorizes them to sell single copies for personal use direct to individual consumers.

If you would like to license an image for usage by your company or organization, please give us a call at 1-800-828-4545.
