License types and prices

RM

Rights Managed (RM)

For every licensed image a detailed history of its usage is available. We handle the complete management of the rights including exclusivity if desired. The prices of rights managed images are based on a specific use and parameters such as image size, useful life, distribution area, etc. Rights managed images are of high quality, cover a wide range of visual languages, and are available in a wide variety of formats, including special sizes.
You can calculate the price of a licensed image for your desired type of use with just a few clicks using our online price calculator. You will find this calculator on the detailed image page and in the shopping cart.

RF

Royalty Free (RF)

Here are the advantages of royalty free images: buy once, with unlimited use. All images are available for advertising purposes and the image price depends solely on the file size, regardless of how you use it. These images cover a wide range of topics and visual languages, but they are generally more generic compared to rights managed images. The usage history is not available since we do not offer these images for exclusive use. It is possible that two competitors could possibly be using the same image. When licensing a royalty free image the license is non-sublicensable, meaning, the passing on to third parties is not permitted.
For all royalty free images, you will find an overview of the available file sizes and corresponding prices on the image detail page and in the shopping cart.

RS

Rights Simplified (RS)

Rights Simplified is a special type of license for rights managed images. With rights simplified, you can license a package of usage rights. Here, you can bundle several different uses for a single image without having to license each of the uses separately, giving you more freedom and flexibility. This option makes sense if you plan on using a rights managed image for several different projects. An example of this is using the same image for a brochure, a newsletter, and a website.
You can see the Rights Simplified package prices in the online price calculator, which you can find for the desired image on both the image detail page and in the shopping cart.

Buying images – why buy them at all?

Images are easy to get somewhere. But who guarantees that you use the image legally? And the competition hasn’t used the same image? And who tells you what to pay attention to?

Even if one speaks of "buying photographs," strictly speaking of purchasing a license to use an image. The copyright always remains with the photographer.
