What are these credit things anyway?
Credits are iStock's very own currency. Use our Credit Cruncher to see examples of what credits can buy.
How credits work
Purchase credits through a plan and spend them whenever you download a file. The credit cost of any file depends on its size or complexity.
How long are my credits valid?
Pay-as-you-go credits expire one year from the date of purchase. You can check your daily Subscription credit balance in the menu bar at the top of every page under Account.
How can I use iStock files?
Use iStock files in all kinds of creative materials like brochures, websites, presentations and more. Your license is for one computer/one user. We also offer Extended Licenses for even more usage options.
