What does "royalty-free" mean?
Royalty-free pricing is based solely on the size of the product you need, not the specific use. You don't have to pay any additional fees on a use-by-use. Once you purchase a royalty-free product, you may use it multiple times for multiple projects without paying additional fees. Royalty-free images offer creative professionals an alternative to right-managed imagery -- without sacrificing quality or creativity. Royalty-free products provide a solution for every budget, with few usage restrictions. Once you pay the fee for a royalty-free product, you can use the images as frequently and creatively as you'd like. (Pornographic, defamatory, libelous or otherwise unlawful use of any image is, of course, prohibited.) Top

Are the Premium Web Images available at 300dpi?
Not in the Premium Web Images category. The Premium Web Images are all at a resolution of 72dpi and do not include the 300dpi resolution images found elsewhere within this site.
If you require any of the Premium Web Images at 300dpi then you can find them by doing a searching for the image number i.e.: (PT00204) this will produce two images, one from the Premium Web Images. You will see that one of the two has a higher price, this is where you will get your 300dpi image from. Top

How do you protect the privacy of the information I submit to you?
We don't sell, share or divulge your personal information, including your email address, with other companies. For a complete overview of how we protect your information, read our Privacy Policy. Top

What is a Cookie?
A unique string of letters and numbers that the web server stores in a file on your hard drive. This method is used by web designers to track visitors to a website so the visitors don't have to enter the same information every time they go to a new page or revisit a site. For example, web designers use cookies to keep track of purchases a visitor wants to make while shopping through a web catalog. Cookies may work through a single visit to a website, such as when tracking a shopping trip, or may be set to work through multiple sessions when a visitor returns to the site. Top

Tips for downloading

Always follow our download instructions.
Important note for 75MB, 48MB, 28MB and 10MB files: Most of our images are compressed for download. If opened in your browser window, these images will decompress to their full size onscreen. This can cause 'out of memory' errors and slower downloads. To avoid errors and slow downloads, save the files directly to disk by following our download instructions. Otherwise, you can still save the image to disk by choosing 'Save As...' from the File menu after the image displays completely onscreen. You can change the application your browser associates with JPEG images by going to 'Applications' in your browser's preferences. You can download multiple images at the same time, but doing so will probably increase your overall download time. You can rename an image before downloading, or keep it the same. Save files directly to your desktop for easy reference. Top

Failed downloads
If your image download fails for some reason, please do not re-purchase that product. All image purchases are available for re-downloading from the History page. To access them, roll over 'my account' and select 'history' button. Royalty-free images are always available for re-download unless they have been removed from the collection. For help with failed downloads, please contact Creative Stock Images. Top
