PhotoSpin, Beautiful and Affordable Stock Photos for Designers

There are many stock photo websites out there but only a handful of them offer interesting subscription and pricing options for their users. One of these companies is PhotoSpin. The really interesting thing about PhotoSpin is that the company was started by designers and photographers and continues to this day to be managed by creative professionals. This way it’s really easy for them to be closer to their clients, the graphic designers, understand their needs and provide a valuable and affordable service.

PhotoSpin started their subscription based service for stock photos in 1999 and it’s been online since then. That says a lot regarding the quality of this service.

The PhotoSpin library includes millions of high-quality stock photos and illustrations from the worlds most renowned artists. In addition to images, their library also contains unique system fonts. Many new stock photos and illustrations are added every day to this growing collection.

 

Subscription Plans

One of the things that makes PhotoSpin stand out of the crowd is their detailed subscription plans. PhotoSpin offers two subscription options Plus and Super Plus.

Both subscriptions offer several options to fit everyone’s needs. Some may need fewer downloads per month than others, depending on what you use the images for. There are subscription plans that allow 500, 750 or 1000 downloads per month. Both subscription plans offer the same monthly downloads. The difference between the Plus and SuperPlus plans is the maximum size of the downloaded images and illustrations.

As we said the subscription plans are quite affordable. Graphic designers, bloggers, marketing agents will be able to obtain a very good price of 6 cents / downloaded image.

PhotoSpin also offers multi-seat licenses for $49.95 per each additional user.

 

Single Images

Of course, besides the subscription plans you are able to actually get a single or multiple stock photos or illustrations. The single image option offers prices between $2 and $30 depending on the size of the image you need, starting from small (864px) to xlarge (5100px).

Licenses

We all know licensing can be quite complicated. Well, not here. There are two license types, simple license and specific use license. The difference is quite simple : the first one allows you to use the stock photos and illustrations on products not intended for sale and the specific use on products intended for sale.
