Stockvault vs VectorStock

Stockvault is a community where photographers, designers, and students share photographs, graphics, and vector files. Its catalog includes free photos, textures, and illustrations, with new images added every day. Visitors can search by keyword, photographer, category, shape, date, license, and color, or browse curated collections covering subjects and formats such as nature, people, vectors, and textures. Downloads are available without signing up, and membership is free. Members can comment, message other members, and save photos to favorites. Photographs are JPG files; graphics are PSD, EPS, or AI files supplied in ZIP archives. Stockvault lists Non-Commercial, Commercial, and Public Domain (CC0) licenses, and the applicable image license governs use. The site describes the collection as intended for personal and non-commercial design projects. Non-Commercial and Commercial images may not be distributed as standalone images without alteration. Stockvault moderates submitted photos and checks accepted images for quality. Members may upload any number of files if they comply with submission guidelines, but images smaller than 3 MP (2048×1536 pixels) will not upload.
