What it is
Stockvault is a website for finding and sharing photographs, graphics, and vector files. Its catalog includes photos, textures, and illustrations, with new images added every day. Visitors can browse curated collections and categories such as nature, people, graphics, vectors, and textures, or search by keyword, photographer, category, shape, date, license, and color. Downloads are available without an account, and membership is free. Members can comment, message one another, and save images to favorites. Photographs are supplied as JPG files; graphics come as PSD, EPS, or AI files in ZIP archives. Each image’s license determines how it can be used. Listed options include Non-Commercial, Commercial, and Public Domain (CC0); the collection is intended for personal and non-commercial design projects. Non-Commercial and Commercial images may not be distributed as standalone images without alteration. Stockvault moderates submitted photos and checks accepted images for quality.
