Microstock

Microstock refers to a type of stock photography and creative content licensing where photographers and artists sell their images, illustrations, videos, or music at a lower price, typically through online platforms. These platforms allow buyers—ranging from small businesses to individuals—to access a vast library of affordable, high-quality visual assets for various projects. Contributors earn royalties each time their work is downloaded. Overall, microstock makes professional-quality media more accessible and cost-effective for users, while offering creators a streamlined way to monetize their work in a competitive online marketplace.
