Two licences, one-time payment, no subscriptions or credits. Here’s what each one covers, in plain language.
The same two licences cover photos and video clips. Both are royalty-free and perpetual: pay once and use the file for as long as you like.
Covers almost every everyday use, in any medium, including advertising.
Everything in Standard, for big campaigns and products you sell.

Neither licence lets you sell the image itself as art. Here’s the difference.
The photo or video frame is one part of something you’ve designed and sell. What the customer is buying is the product. (Packaging and labels for your own goods are already covered by Standard.)
The photo, or a still frame from a video, reproduced to be sold and displayed as art. That stays true even if you add a border, mat, frame, caption or signature.
Prices in Canadian dollars (CAD), before tax. One payment per photo or clip, no account needed.

Yes. Put your client’s name as the licensee at checkout, and the licence certificate is issued to them. You, your team and your contractors can work with the file on their behalf.
Yes, as long as it’s for the same licensee and stays within the licence limits (for Standard, 500,000 printed copies or viewers in total).
Yes. Paid and boosted social posts, and online ads in general, are covered by the Standard licence.
Yes. Trim, colour-grade, crop, speed-ramp, composite or add titles as you like, and still frames from a clip are covered by the same licence. The one rule for video: a clip has to be part of a larger production, so you can’t post or resell it on its own.
No. Online views are unlimited on Standard, including YouTube and social video. The 500,000 limit applies to printed copies and to TV, cinema and streaming-service audiences.
Choose Extended, which has no limit. If a Standard project grows later, contact us about upgrading it.
No, credit isn’t required. If you’d like to add one, use “Origin 8 Studios”.
