What it does
Getty Images licenses creative and editorial photography, illustrations and footage. Buyers can pay for individual files, use UltraPacks or arrange an annual Premium Access agreement. Most downloads require a paid licence; a separate Embed feature permits selected photos on non-commercial websites.
Choose Creative or Editorial before searching. For an individual purchase, add the file to the cart, complete checkout and select Download. With an UltraPack, use the UltraPack button on the asset or search results and choose a size covered by the pack.
UltraPack prices
The US pricing page lists these individual download prices:
| File size | Price |
|---|---|
| Small images or low-resolution video | US$175 |
| Medium images | US$375 |
| Large images or HD/4K video | US$499 |
Packs reduce the per-download price. Editorial images bought through these packs cannot be used for print covers or commercial purposes.
Getty also provides annual Premium Access agreements and editorial subscriptions for teams. Free Embed use is restricted to non-commercial websites, so it is not a replacement for a downloadable advertising licence.
