Istockphoto.com is a website where you can purchase photo credits to allow you to use different photos online with no royalty fees. The site sports over four million photos in its library that you can use. Membership is free, but you have to purchase the credits if you want to be able to access the photos. Credits cost between $.95 and $1.40, and photos can range between costing one credit to costing twenty credits. The site also has flash, audio, and video files in addition to photos. Alternatively, you can purchase a subscription for a certain number of daily credits for a single payment each year. Corporations can also buy special corporate subscriptions or special pay-as-you-go subscriptions. You can search using the simple search function or by browsing for specific topics.

Istockphoto.com is a useful resource for anyone looking for the use of photos that you cannot normally use without paying some sort of royalty fee or otherwise. Its corporate offers also make it useful for businesses looking for similar kinds of photos or other multimedia. The site’s audience is largely teenaged and equally male and female, and visitors to the site tend to also go to photo and video sharing websites, humor websites, and community and blog websites.
