what are stock images

Stock images, also known as stock photos, are existing photos that are made available for license by paying a fee to both the artists that produced them and the stock agencies. They are a great resource to get high-quality and cheap photos that you can use in your designs for various purposes, such as marketing and advertising, promotional work, personal or commercial creative projects, publishing, websites and blogs, and more. Stock imagery is not limited to just photography, as you can also find vector files, soundtracks, stock footage, and even 3D models, all available for licensing. Stock photos are cataloged and made available by a stock image agency, and you can use them to illustrate and decorate websites and publications. There are millions of stock images available online, covering all types of photography, with no limits on genre or style.
