Free files you can use with confidence


Unlike many other sites with free files, every free stock video clip, free photo, and free illustration from iStock comes with the same benefits you get with our paid downloads, including:

Generous usage rights

Every free download comes with the same license you get with our paid downloads, which means you can use our free files in almost any project you can think of (within the terms of our content license agreement.)

Signed model and property releases

Our creative content comes with the necessary model and property releases that let you confidently use images with recognizable people and places in your projects without worrying about legalities.

Professionally vetted images

Our dedicated team thoroughly inspects every stock photo, illustration and video clip to ensure they're free of legal issues and meet our exacting standards for quality.

$10,000 USD legal protection

When you use our content within the terms of our license agreement, we guarantee that it won't infringe on any copyright, moral right, trademark or other intellectual property right, or violate any right of privacy or publicity.
