Frequently Asked Questions

I have a great photo I would like to sell. How can I sell it?
You start selling your photos by registering as a Photographer with a PRO account first, and next you can start uploading your work. Before you start, there are 2 important things to know:
  • it is only allowed to upload photos that are really made by you yourself. Uploading photos which do not belong to you is illegal.
  • if there are recognizable faces of people in your work, you need a so-called "Model release" which allows you to publish and market the work. You can dowload a standard Model release here.
These 2 points are very important and are your own responsibility, as described in detail in the Terms & Conditions you agree to when you join our site.

First you sign up (only required one) and next you can start uploading your photos by going to the "My account" menu. Next you click on "Upload" next to "My Stock" or "My special" and you get to the upload menu. If you have many files to upload, it is best to click on "Upload" next to "My batch". You only need to upload your file 1 time in 1 size larger than 2048x1536 pixels. After uploading the files are checked by our staff, and after approval your work is published on this website (protected with a watermark). If you upload a stockphoto, the website automatically creates 3 smaller sizes of your uploaded file. All visitors can then see, hear and buy your work.

How much money will I make with selling my photos?
Everytime one of your photos is sold, you get 70% of the amount paid by the buyer. If you are a PRO member, you can even get 100% by using the Direct Sales system that collects all payments directly into your own PayPal account. Otherwise the money is stored in your account, and once it is above Euro 100 you can withdraw the money from your account. The external costs we have to pay to the payment processors PayPal, MoneyBookers and iDEAL for paying to and receiving money from our members are deducted from pay out and are set to 10%. The more your photos are sold, the more money you make. Some are sold only twice, others are sold hundred times a year.

What photo-size is required?
If you upload your photos, please make sure the photos are 3 MegaPixel or larger. 3 Megapixel is the same as 2048 x 1536 pixels. There are also quality requirements, as you can read in Photo approval

How can I buy and download?
