What it does
PIXTA offers photography, illustrations, vectors and footage, with industry categories and a strong selection of Asian subjects. Buyers can choose individual files or image subscriptions, and registered users can download the changing weekly free selection.
The camera icon accepts a JPG or PNG reference smaller than 8 MB and below 7000 × 7000 pixels. You can also search by keyword, image ID or contributor, then keep candidates in a Lightbox. An account is required to buy files and download the weekly free stock.
Single photos start at USD 5 for S size; L is USD 30 and XL is USD 50 per image. For three image downloads a month, the individual subscription is USD 30 with monthly renewal, or USD 180 for a year, equivalent to USD 15 a month. After purchase, the download link arrives by email and remains available through My Account.
Choose the purchase route around the output: image subscriptions exclude footage and cannot cover extended-licence uses such as merchandise or templates. A subscription image must first be used within one year of download. Client designs may include the content, but the underlying licence does not transfer to the client.
