Title: Buying Stock pics, about licenses
Post by: Mrblues101 on September 01, 2016, 21:37
After about 4 years selling vectors files on microstock sites I will create my own blog (nothing related with vectors or microstock) and i will also buy some stock pics to use as visual resorces for my articles. Honestly i never understand anything about licenses, i just sell my images on sites, and i understand that when i make a big sale it is because somebody buy a "special licence" but never take my time to understand it.

Now i am in the other side, i will buy some images to use in my website, so i need to understand licenses; my big question is, i need a special license to use an image on my website? or i can just pay the minimum for the image to use in this way?

Website is usually  (always?) a 'normal' use.
But it's up to you, whether buying or selling, to check out the terms and conditions, which differ from agency to agency. As they say, you're the adult.

That would be a normal license for any of the sites I can think of. The only thing to watch is that some licenses restrict the resolution you can post an image on the web.
