Title: File size and payout
Post by: Cheap Monk on February 14, 2016, 12:08

Hi everybody.

I was wondering if there is any increase in the payout (total amount received) when you sell a 200MP file vs say a 24MP one. Does the payout plateau at a given size? or does keep adding? I am talking about both Micro (shutter, istock, fotolia,etc) and macrostock (getty, alamy, stocksy, etc).

Any answer will be welcomed. I  have tried to find info about this question in the stock sites and without previous registration and hoop -jumping is really hard to find an answer.

Thank you for your patience

It depends on each site and how they do the licensing.

iStock just pays the same whatever the size

Thanks for the info. Am I right to assume that microstock main companies (Shutter, IStock, Fotolia,etc)  tend to cap the file size/price?
