About iStock

Started in 2000, iStock is one of the web’s first sources for royalty-free stock photos, media, and design tools and elements. iStock is populated by talented artists, photographers, and designers who provide quality content for use on the web or in print media. Initially a stock photo-only resource, iStock has grown to offer vector illustrations, videos, audio files, and a huge array of stock photos covering almost every editorial topic. iStock was acquired by Getty Images in 2006 for $50 million dollars.
