Everyone who has already started working with stock photo banks and achieved a certain volume of work faces the question of how to speed up the process of uploading and attributing images to stock photo banks. This question becomes particularly relevant when you work with a large number of stock photo banks simultaneously.

In my previous note, I provided a brief overview of the photo bank BigStockPhoto, now known as BigStock, and promised to discuss the registration process for this photo bank and how to upload images to it. So, let’s get started!

For a long time, I have been meaning to write a few words for a review about a small microstock like Bigstockphoto or Bigstock, how to properly say and write it since 2010. I don’t know why; perhaps this rebranding was done for simplicity’s sake. Along with this, the online service of this microstock underwent a redesign, and later it was sold to a more prominent competitor called Shutterstock.

When purchasing a photo or illustration from a stock photo site, you’ll encounter various payment options.

If you frequently require a substantial number of high-quality licensed photos or vector images, purchasing a subscription is your best option.

Today, I’d like to continue discussing the pros and cons of purchasing images from stock photo agencies, as well as explore the different sales models that can help buyers choose the right microstock for their needs.
