What it does

SuperStock offers stock imagery and footage, with dedicated fine-art and vintage sections. Its public site includes boards, curated collections, image search and free research assistance. Purchases include individual licences and access to a separate subscription collection.

Start in Fine Art, Vintage or Footage when the brief needs a specialist collection. An asset’s Details section identifies its rights model, credit line, collection, release status and resolution. These details distinguish an archival illustration from an image cleared for advertising.

Prices depend on the asset and intended use. For example, the rights-managed Australia, Two Koalas photo lists $25 for personal use, $199 for editorial use and $299 for marketing or PR. Its Downloads tab provides the file after purchase. Subscription members receive access to the subscription selection and discounts on Premium Collection media.

An account lets you save and email Creative Boards and download previews. Comp images are for evaluating unfinished layouts: the licence allows 30 days of use and prohibits publication. Final use requires a paid licence.
