What does the Pixlaris Stock Content License allow? The Pixlaris Stock Content License grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual right to download, modify, and use stock assets for personal and commercial purposes including websites, advertising, client deliverables, social media, and publications — without paying ongoing royalties after your initial license acquisition.
Who Is Covered by the License?
The license is granted to the individual or organization that purchases a Pixlaris subscription or downloads a free asset. It covers use by your team, agency, or clients in projects you are directly responsible for delivering. You cannot transfer the license to third parties who then use the asset independently without their own Pixlaris license.
Permitted Uses
- Websites, web applications, landing pages, and digital publications
- Social media posts, advertising campaigns, and digital banner ads
- Printed materials including brochures, books, posters, and packaging
- Video productions, presentations, and corporate communications
- Client deliverables produced on behalf of your clients as a designer or agency
- Internal business communications and HR materials
Prohibited Uses
- Reselling Raw Files: You cannot sell, redistribute, or license the original unmodified asset files to third parties.
- Competing Stock Sites: You cannot upload Pixlaris assets to other stock libraries, wallpaper sites, or asset distribution platforms.
- Merchandise Resale Without Modification: You cannot print a stock photo directly on a T-shirt or mug for commercial resale without adding substantial creative transformation.
- AI Training: Using Pixlaris assets to train machine learning or AI models without a specific written agreement is strictly prohibited.
- Trademark Registration: You cannot register a mark or logo that is primarily composed of unmodified stock art.
Attribution Requirements
Free plan downloads require attribution to Pixlaris in the format: Photo by Pixlaris.com. Essential, Pro, and Studio plan subscribers are completely exempt from attribution requirements and can use all assets without credit in commercial deliverables.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use stock photos in ads targeting specific people? Standard stock photos with model releases can be used in general advertising. Editorial use only images (photos without model releases) cannot be used in advertisements implying product endorsement by the pictured individuals.
Does the license cover future projects? The license is perpetual. Once you validly download an asset, your license for that specific file remains valid even if your subscription later lapses, for already-produced materials.
