It's a win-win, and it's why everything on iStock is only available royalty-free — including all Astronomy images and footage.

How can you use royalty-free images and video clips?
From social media ads to billboards, PowerPoint presentations to feature films, you're free to modify, resize and customize every asset on iStock — including all Astronomy images and footage — to fit your projects. With the exception of "Editorial use only" photos (which can only be used in editorial projects and can't be modified), the possibilities are limitless.
