I see that Crestock gives away a free photo every day. Do photographers get paid for this? For every download?

no

another reason not to join crestock!

do any of the sites pay if you have a photo in the free section??

ok correction it sounded to me that they just use a picture of their collection i'm not at crestock so i didn't know there is a option for this.

Crestock is a long way from fotolia for me, but it is ahead of Bigstock and 123RF this month (for the first time).. I think it is definitely improving

Hi,

I'm holding back on giving a final answer on this because we're working on a possible change here..

In the past, one of the Crestock staff would request to use an image for 'Free image of the Day' or photographers can always email helpdesk if they are especially keen to put a free image up. Its quite good promotion for a photographer with up to 1500 people looking at the image in a day, it may work to make customers curious about the rest of your portfolio.
