Our images
We have a bigger, broader, more unique collection than any other library and every day we supply thousands of creative professionals including designers, marketing departments, news desks, and publishers with images produced by the best professional photographers around.
Customer service
We have the best customer service in the industry, our friendly team of image buying experts are on hand to help you out via email, phone or live chat wherever you are in the world.
Our Customers
We sell images to customers around the world.
Our contributors think we’re great too
We’re easy to work with, we’re non-exclusive and we don’t tie our contributors in with long-term contracts. We don’t edit our collection either so our contributors can choose what they want to sell.
This leads to a more diverse collection and less hoops for our artists to jump through. But we also believe in a fairer world by giving higher commissions splits than our core competitors.
Our ‘100% students’ project supports photography students while they study. We give students 100% of the money they make from the sale of their images on Alamy.

Our Mission
Changing the world one image at a time.
In a world where millions of images are taken every day, there are still stories that have yet to be told. Our mission is to leave no image unseen.
That’s why we don’t believe in editing our photographers. They dictate the market by uploading whatever they want so that we can empower our customers and let them decide what deserves airtime and what doesn’t.
Everyone should be heard. All we need is for you to tell their story.
Our philosophy
We’re proud of doing things differently and philanthropy is an important part of our company DNA. Since 2007, we´ve donated over $6 million to good causes, including medical research, and educational research. Since 2010 we’ve distributed solar lamps to Haiti, Southern India and Southern Sudan.
