Pricing

Rights-protected photos from stock photography firms are rented on a per-use basis. Most photos cost somewhere between $250-$1,500. Fees typically depend on the image's distribution, size and placement, and intended use. In addition, buyers are billed for researching requests, the right to change or collate images on your computer, and scanning the image.

Royalty-free photos are usually purchased on a CD-ROM at a price that covers the cost of using those images any number of times. Fees range from $10 to $250 per disc, with each CD-ROM holding anywhere from 100 to several thousand images. Additional charges can be incurred when using images for commercial resale, and use is often limited by a licensing agreement.
