Get the best images you need in one place.Can I use stock photos in commercials or marketing collaterals and materials?
[IMG: expand]
Yes, as long as you’ve obtained the appropriate license beforehand, you can confidently use stock photos. The 123RF Standard License grants you clear rights to use digital assets without confusion, allowing unlimited personal and digital use while restricting resale or the use of content as a core design element. For broad commercial usage rights, consider the PLUS Standard License, which ensures greater flexibility for personal and professional projects. For more details, visit our Licenses page.Related: What are the benefits of using stock photos?Are stock photos free? Can I use Stock Photos without payment?
[IMG: expand]
A significant majority of stock photos are not free for commercial use. You are required to pay an affordable one-time licensing fee to use stock photos commercially. The license that you can secure from a stock content site like 123RF is called a “Royalty Free” license which means that you only have to pay once to get all the rights to use the photo. All future royalty payments are waived.Once you have secured the Royalty Free License to a stock photo, you may then use them in a commercial setting. Examples of commercial uses include using stock photos as part of a design in your product brochure, flyer, online, below the line, above the line materials and all forms of digital advertising and media, books, publications, product packaging, decals, products, templates and even digital wallpaper.While there is a fee that you'll have to pay to secure the license and rights to use a stock photo, the fee is very affordable. Did you know that you are able to enjoy unlimited downloads from £20 per month or royalty free from £5.19 per image.Related: Where can I get stock photos from?Are Stock Photos copyright free?
[IMG: expand]
No, stock photos are not copyright-free. Copyright is automatically granted to the creator of a work, including photographs, illustrations, and videos. Every stock asset on 123RF is owned by its creator, who has chosen to license it through our platform.When you purchase stock content from 123RF, you are licensing the right to use it under specific terms rather than owning the copyright. 123RF offers different licensing options, including:  • Standard License – Pay once and use the asset multiple times for commercial digital and print projects, without ongoing royalties. Restrictions apply to resale, redistribution, and certain commercial uses.  • Extended License – Available when you need broader rights, such as using assets on products for resale (e.g., merchandise, templates).Some stock content is Editorial Use Only, meaning it cannot be used for commercial purposes like advertising. Always check the license details before using an asset.Related: Are stock photos free? Can I use Stock Photos without payment?What are stock photos?
[IMG: expand]
Generally speaking, stock photos are photographs that have been pre-shot and cover certain themes, topics or genres for the purpose of being used commonly in advertising to deliver a certain concept or message, and are often used in the commercial promotion of a brand or its products or services.Certain ever-green subjects such as landscapes, nature, babies, animals and food are always popular when it comes to stock photos. Business, technology, healthcare and romance are hot topics for stock content. You’ll find our collection filled to the brim with content for seasonal trends and festivities like Christmas, Valentine’s, Easter, Halloween and summer will always find a place in our content library.Related: What are the benefits of using stock photos?What does Royalty Free mean?
[IMG: expand]
The term “Royalty Free” refers to the licensing model where a one time payment is made and no future royalty payments will be incurred. Hence, the term royalty free. When it comes to stock photos, the party who wishes to obtain the license to use the stock photo will have to make a one time payment to obtain all the rights (as defined in the license) to the photo.Once any party has secured the Royalty Free License to a stock photo, they may use the content in a commercial setting. Examples of commercial uses include using stock photos as part of a design in your product brochure, flier, online, below the line, above the line and all forms of digital advertising and media, books, publications, product packaging, decals, products, templates and even digital wallpaper. Did you know that you are able to enjoy unlimited downloads from £20 per month or royalty free from £5.19 per image.Related: Where can I get stock photos from?Can I use a stock photo with a watermark commercially?
[IMG: expand]
Strictly speaking, no one should not use a stock photo with a watermark in a commercial manner. Watermarks are there to protect the rights of the copyright owner. When you see a photo with watermarks still present, it usually means that the photo that is used has not been legally licensed. The person who uses such a photo can face litigation and have a civil lawsuit on their hands.At 123RF, we watermark our low resolution preview photos as a measure to protect the rights of our stock content artists. You may use these watermarked photos within your artwork as a mock and present them for approval with a client or just to see how it would look. However, once you or your client is happy with the results, please secure the appropriate License and you will receive the high resolution version of the stock photo.You should use the high resolution version of the photo without any watermark and you need not worry about legal issues as all the content that you see on 123RF has been put through a stringent review process to ensure that you can safely use any material in all your creative work and projects.Related: Where can I get stock photos from?What are the benefits of using stock photos?
[IMG: expand]
The many benefits of using stock photos are:1. Using stock photos saves you time. Coordinating a photo shoot session and getting models, scouting for locations, preparing props and getting property releases executed is a lengthy and involved process. Stock photos have already been shot, the model and property releases have been checked and cleared for you to use them safely in your commercials and ad campaigns. This alone could take months from start to finish!2. It also saves you money. When you conduct a photo shoot, you’ll need to hire photographers, lighting and production assistants, models, buy props, clothing, and rent locations for your photo shoot. Post production also requires a graphic designer or image editing expert that’s familiar with editing software to touch up the photos that you’ve shot. Stock photos are an economical solution as everything has been pre-shot, so you don't incur any production costs.3. They're instantly available. This allows you or your team to see the end result, and incorporate it into the artwork immediately. You can even download lower resolution sample copies (called comps) with 123RF’s watermark to have it mock up in your artwork. Once you or your customer approves of the mocked up version, you can then license the original full resolution photo without any watermarks, and use it for your designs and campaigns.4. They're safe to be used legally and commercially. Royalty free commercial stock photos containing models, and if shot in a restriction location, will require proper model and property releases respectively. We hire teams of image inspectors who will ensure that all images featuring models and locations have accompanying releases. Once you’ve licensed a stock photo from our collection, you are indemnified against any legal liability up to a maximum of USD25,000 in aggregate arising from the use of that stock photo as long as you have complied with the respective End User License Agreement, Extended License and Terms of Use of the site.Can I use this stock photo and put it on my product?
[IMG: expand]
Yes, generally speaking you will be able to incorporate stock photos into your product. However, you will have to check a few items before we can give you the all clear!The first thing that you need to check is, whether the stock photo is marked as “Editorial Use Only”? “Editorial Use Only” marked photos can only be used in publications such as news articles, broadcasts, programs and blog pieces. These stock photos cannot be used for normal commercial means.The second thing you have to determine is, whether the product that you intend to incorporate the stock image onto contravenes our License Agreement. You MAY NOT use stock photos if your product or service is related to these industries or applications : tobacco, sex, illegal drugs and politics.Next, please check if the product that will bear the stock photo will be sold OR if your product is something that helps with the promotion of your brand or company, and not sold but given out as a promotional item?If the product is sold and by incorporating the stock photo increases the perceived value and price of the product, then you may use the stock photo as long as you have secured the upgraded Extended License Agreement. If the product is a promotional item, then a Standard License Agreement will be sufficient to cover the scope of intended usage.There you have it, now you can safely use stock photos in your products! If you’re running a business that helps customers to print items and might want to use our stock photos in your product offering without having to purchase Extended End User Licenses beforehand, contact us at info@123rf.com.Related: What are the benefits of using stock photos?What are the different types of licenses for stock photos?
[IMG: expand]
The stock photo industry has historically seen 2 broad base license types.The first is called Rights-Managed where the party that wants to use the photo has to select specific usages, geographical regions, media and typically time frame to use the stock photo in, and pay the corresponding fee which often goes up incrementally with an expanded scope of use.The second is called Royalty Free; Under a Royalty Free license, the licensor will grant the interested party the rights to use the stock photo for most commercial and advertising usages in perpetuity for a one-time fee.At 123RF, you may license our content under a Royalty Free license, and we carry two flavors of the Royalty Free license to suit your usage. An affordable  Standard License covers most standard usage of a stock content for commercial and advertising use. If you intend to use our stock content in a product that you intend to resell or monetize, you should secure the Extended License which will expand the scope of use for products that will be resold as well. Please look at our Licenses page to get an idea which license will suit you best.Related: Where can I get stock photos from?What is “Editorial Use Only” content?
[IMG: expand]
When a photo is marked as “Editorial Use” this denotes that this content can only be used for publications, news articles and blog pieces. Why is this so? Editorial content usually contains subjects and themes that are deemed newsworthy (i,e, event, festival, convention, conference, concerts, award ceremonies) or depict someone famous like a celebrity. Photos that are marked as Editorial content are usually not model or property released.Street photography is an example of Editorial content, usually when a photographer takes a shot on the street, they do not approach people to ask for a signed model release, nor would they ask the owner of the property to execute a property release as well.Related: Can I use “Editorial Use Only” content in my commercial or marketing collaterals?Can I use “Editorial Use Only” content in my commercial or marketing collaterals?

When a photo is marked as “Editorial Use” this denotes that this content can only be used for publications, news articles and blog pieces. Why is this so? Editorial content usually contains subjects and themes that are deemed newsworthy (i.e. event, festival, convention, conference, concerts, award ceremonies) or depict someone famous like a celebrity. Photos that are marked as Editorial content are usually not model or property released.Red carpet photography is a great example to understand the reason behind why Editorial content cannot be used for commercial or marketing purposes. During such award events, a photographer takes a lot of shots of a posing celebrity or a group of celebrities, the photographers will not be able to approach the star to ask for a signed model release, nor would the star(s) knowingly sign a document that would permit any company to use their likeness in a stock photo to promote or endorse a brand, product or service.Therefore, in conclusion the answer to that question is, no, “Editorial Use Only” content should only be used for news sites, news related broadcasts, blogs or publications.Related: What is the difference between Editorial use and Commercial use images?Where can I use “Editorial Use Only” content?
