Extended License

For physical products sold to end customers

Full Res

€70

The Extended License includes all rights of the Standard license, plus the right to use the image on physical products intended for sale. If you're printing the image on an item you sell to your customers, this is the license you need.

What's included (everything in Standard, plus)

✓ Printed canvas and framed art for sale
✓ T-shirts, hoodies and apparel
✓ Mugs, cups and tableware
✓ Calendars and planners
✓ Notebook and book covers
✓ Posters and prints sold in series
✓ Tote bags, phone cases, stationery
✓ Unlimited print runs
✗ Resale of the image as a digital file
✗ Incorporation into resold digital products (apps, themes)
Always available, on any image. The Extended License covers unlimited print runs with no per-unit fee. For images below 12 megapixels, the file is delivered at that image's maximum available resolution rather than at the standard Full Resolution tier.

Extended Special License

For digital products and templates sold to end customers

Photos

€250

Video 4K

€500

The Extended Special License covers all rights of the Extended License, plus the right to incorporate the image or video into a digital product you sell — such as a website theme, a graphic template, an application, or a commercial presentation kit. Your customers who purchase your product are automatically covered and do not need to buy a separate license.

Typical use cases

✓ WordPress themes and website templates sold on marketplaces (e.g. ThemeForest)
✓ Graphic design templates (Canva, Adobe, Figma templates sold to customers)
✓ Mobile and web applications that include the image in their UI
✓ Commercial presentation kits and slide deck templates for resale
✓ Video reels and showreels incorporated into sold digital products
✗ Resale of the image as a standalone digital file
The Extended Special License covers one product. If you intend to use the same image across multiple products for sale, please contact us for a custom licensing arrangement.
Always available, on any image. For images below 12 megapixels, the file is delivered at that image's maximum available resolution rather than at the standard Full Resolution tier.

Editorial License

For news, journalism and informational content

Full Res

€35

The Editorial License is for use in news articles, informational blog posts, documentary content and journalism — where the image illustrates a factual or newsworthy topic. It is not available for commercial or promotional use of any kind.

What's included

✓ News articles and journalism
✓ Informational and educational blog posts
✓ Documentary and reportage content
✓ Wikipedia and reference publications
✗ Advertising or promotional material
✗ Commercial websites or marketing
✗ Products for resale
✗ Social media advertising
Credit required. All editorial uses must include a visible photographer credit beneath the published image in the format: © [Photographer Name] / BelloStock. Failure to credit is a breach of the license terms.
