| Licensing | Images may be licensed as rights managed or royalty free. | Standard royalty-free use permits digital and print projects but restricts resale-focused products when the asset is the main value; an extended license removes those resale limits. |
| Search | The website search supports images, footage, audio and other media, with filters including collection, orientation, release status, licensing type and footage resolution. | The pricing page says users can search by color hues, number of people, image search, text space and orientation. |
| Security and compliance | The maker says it has engaged copyright infringement companies to manage copyright compliance on behalf of its photographers. | Public product pages advertise copyright protection but do not state SOC 2, ISO 27001 or SSO/SAML compliance. |
