Be part of history
In 2001 we had the crazy idea to sell stock images online for prices anyone could afford. It wasn't long before people from all over the world wanted to bring their own artwork to iStock. Now we're the world's leading stock destination. iStock is fun, rewarding and addictive.



What does iStock pay?
iStock pays contributors a base royalty rate of 20% for each file downloaded. If you are an Exclusive contributor you can earn up to 40%. Since iStock introduced Subscriptions in May 2008, there's potential to make even more on each file, especially for Exclusives. Learn more



Become Exclusive
We want you all to ourselves. Make iStock your Exclusive online royalty-free agent. You'll make a higher royalty rate, grab more of the attention, and you could get a chance to upload your files with Getty Images. Learn more

Exclusives can travel the world
iStockalypse was born in 2005 and it's an official multi-day iStock event where Exclusive iStock artists gather in a gorgeous location to produce art. We've been to Prague, Austin, Boston, Barcelona and Buenos Aries, to name a few. Learn more

Stay in touch to learn, win and save
iStock publishes 3 weekly newsletters to keep you up to date. Subscribe to the Contact Sheet webzine, the Tip of the Week, and get the latest great images from iStock and Getty Images in our Hot Shots.

thanx for sharing it..
hrm. i spose it could work... not for me tho.
Be very cautious. It is actually very difficult to get accepted with iStock, if you don't have imagery that is unique, and can work as a STOCK photo.

Like... I make abstract fractals, and am very good with them... But they won't accept me because the images aren't exactly "stock" worthy. Here are the three examples I showed. I made these myself.

They're probably looking for more scenic, landscape, city skylines, or modeling stock photos. Thank your for sharing this. Blackhat
