A few months ago I wrote up an article on where to find royalty free images, and using Depositphotos.
Since then, DP has done a complete web site redesign and continues to
add to their selection of photos you can purchase from the web site. I
actually just started up a new pet food review
blog last month and have been using Depositphotos for nearly all of the
the images I’m using on the site. The last thing I want to have a
problem with is image and photo copyright, when I’m already putting so
much time and effort into a new site.
Let’s take a look at the new Depositphotos site design:
Besides the great new visual look and feel to the web site, it’s
actually ten times better the performance and you will also experience
increased functionality and navigation. As an active user of the site,
it makes a big difference to be able to speed through images and quickly
download the ones I need without a hassle.
Outside of the new site design, you will also experience the following updates and changes to the site:
- Search functionality improved
- All image titles are included in search results
- Search bar updated with image type filters
- New site design is fit for all browsing dimensions
- Now available in Italian, Portugal, Polish, Netherlands languages
- Best viewing experience at 1024×728 or higher
- Separate download and description for each file type
- One click purchase / download
New DepositPhotos Search Area
If you’ve been an active user of Depositphotos, you will notice the
image search is now faster and displays more accurate images. Once you
find the image you want to use, simply click that image, it’s size and
“Download”. The file will save directly to your computer and you are
ready to go.
The main reason why I enjoy using Depositphotos over other royalty
free image sites, is because they are much cheaper than the competition.
You can see in the screenshot below, once you select an image, you will
have the option to choose what size you would like to purchase. Since
each credit at Depositphotos costs $1 each, grabbing the smallest image
(which is fine for web sites), it is only .50 credits, which comes out
to .50 cents. At DP I only have to pay .50 per image (smallest size),
while at other sites I would have to pay $1-$10 each, which is crazy
just from web site usage.
Whether you are looking for images for your new web site, or print
work, Depositphotos is a great resource for you to use. You can also
increase your business and revenue as a photographer by submitting your
image portfolio to their web site. Depositphotos is currently holding a
promotion for both bloggers and photographers, which offers a free trial subscription for site owners and special deals for high volume photographers.
