Frequently asked questions
What license does my subscription come with?
Creative and Editorial image subscriptions include a license that provides the rights to use images worldwide, tailored to subscription type. These images can only be licensed with an active subscription. Once a subscription ends, your right to download or display these images also expires. Any other asset‑level restrictions, including territory restrictions and usage restrictions, will apply. Enterprise subscriptions offer customizable licensing options tailored to your specific business needs. These options are managed directly by our sales team, who will work with you to configure your license during the purchase process.
Do my licensed image and video downloads ever expire?
There is no expiration date on your rights to display files downloaded during your subscription period, provided they are used in projects published while your subscription is active. Once your subscription ends, your right to download or display those images in new projects expires, but you can continue to display them in any work already published during your active term. Files downloaded with UltraPacks can be used in as many projects as you like for as long as you want, and those packs never expire.
What’s the difference between the Getty Images Editorial images and Content Partner Collections and Coverage?
Getty Images Editorial images consists of millions of images from our owned News, Sports, Entertainment, and Archive libraries, specifically featuring work captured by Getty Images staff photographers. Content Partner Collections consists of contributor‑provided content and third‑party partner imagery.
Customers with an Editorial image subscription can access Getty Images Editorial images. To download content from Content Partner Collections and Coverage, you can purchase assets a la carte, download with an UltraPack, or upgrade to an Enterprise subscription through our sales team.

What archival content is included with an Editorial image subscription?
The Editorial image subscription includes access to the Hulton Archive, which features a vast range of socially and historically significant imagery spanning from the early 1800s through the 1990s. Please note that this access specifically covers images captured by our staff photographers; it does not include third‑party contributor content or certain specialized collections. For access to our full archive—including all contributor and partner content—you can purchase an UltraPack or upgrade to an Enterprise subscription through our sales team.
What plans include video and music?
Video and music can be licensed through an UltraPack or Enterprise subscription. If you are currently on a Creative or Editorial image subscription and would like to upgrade to Enterprise, please contact our sales team.
What happens if I don't use all of my subscription downloads each month?
Your subscription gives you access to a set number of downloads each month. You can roll over up to 50 unused downloads from month to month. If auto‑renew is disabled when your subscription term ends, you will lose all rollover downloads that you've accrued.
Can I share my subscription with my teammates?
Sharing permissions depends on your specific plan. Creative and Editorial image subscriptions are built for a single user, which means the same person has to sign in, download and use the files licensed with their subscription. Our Enterprise subscription allows for unlimited users. If you’d like, you can upgrade to an Enterprise subscription through our sales team.
I have a Creative or Editorial image subscription. Can I upgrade to an Enterprise subscription?
Yes, you can upgrade to an Enterprise subscription through our sales team.
How long are UltraPacks valid for?
UltraPacks do not expire.
How can I download files not available with my subscription?
If you need a file that isn't available for download with your subscription, you can always purchase it a la carte or download it with an UltraPack.
This is a great way to supplement a Creative or Editorial image subscription with additional imagery, video clips, music, or sound effects.
You can also upgrade to an Enterprise subscription through our sales team.

If I change my mind, can I get a refund for my purchase?
Unless required by local law, there are no refunds for subscriptions or UltraPacks you purchase.
If you have signed up for an annual subscription, you may not cancel the subscription before the end of your contracted term, nor will you receive a refund of the remaining subscription months, unless local law requires us to give you the option to cancel and receive a refund. If your subscription is set to auto‑renew, you can turn it off at any time in your account settings to ensure your subscription does not roll over at the end of your contracted term.

How do I cancel a subscription?
All requests for cancellations must be made in writing through our contact us email form. In the event of cancellation, your rights to use the content terminate, and you must delete or destroy any copies of the content. Canceling during your paid annual subscription may incur an administrative fee that covers customer care processing and royalties paid to our contributors.
Does your visual library contain AI‑generated content?
We do not accept AI‑generated content from our contributors. The content in our visual library comes from our community of contributors and is vetted to ensure it meets our high standards. The use of AI‑based post‑production tools is prohibited in creative content except for light retouching with AI‑based tools consistent with accepted practices and provided that no new elements are added. Images generated or modified using our AI service remain separate and are not added to our visual library for others to license and use.
