If you're new to PhotoEdit, this page is for you. It should answer many of your questions. You can also check out our Frequently Asked Questions page for additional information.

What IS PhotoEdit?

PhotoEdit is a stock agency that specializes in licensing ethnically diverse images. We take pride in the fact that most of the images we license are of everyday people in everyday situations. Our images are natural and engaging, and they showcase a variety of ethnicities and cultures.

How Many Images Are on Your Website?

We have over 300,000 images, and we upload more every day!

What Are Your Prices?

PhotoEdit licenses rights-managed images, and our licensing fees typically start at around $150 per image. There are many factors that determine pricing. These often include: image size, image placement, print run, distribution, electronic rights, etc. If you would like to obtain specific pricing information for your project, please call 800-860-2098 or e-mail Pricing@PhotoEditInc.com.

Also, if you think you'll be using PhotoEdit imagery for several projects (and we hope you do!), we are happy to set up a pricing agreement with you tailored specifically to your picture buying needs. The agreement often allows you to roll together a package of rights for a reduced rate. If you're interested, just mention it when you contact us.

What Is Your Contact Information?

What Services Do You Offer?

  • Research: Free, fast, and highly accurate research is available by contacting Research@PhotoEditInc.com or filling out our online form. Just send us the details for your project, and we’ll send you a great collection of relevant images - the same day in most cases.


  • Custom Shooting: Can't find the perfect shot on our site or anywhere else? Chances are one of our many photographers can shoot the image for you on spec at no additional charge. We can usually get the image to you within a few days. Contact Mike with your details.

How Can I Order an Image?

Once you've found the image you want, you can check to see if it is downloadable on our website. If it is, it will have a download icon next to it, and downloading is easy! If it isn’t available for download, just contact us via e-mail or phone at 800-860-2098, let us know the image number, and we'll send you the image as soon as possible! We’ll then send you an invoice for payment.

Who Are Your Clients?

PhotoEdit has been around for over 25 years, so we've built up an impressive list of clients. We primarily license images to educational publishers like McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Other companies that have used our images include Newsweek, Rand McNally, and the U.S. Department of State.

Our clients use our images for a variety of reasons. But don't take our word for it: here's what some of them are saying about PhotoEdit:

  • "I am really impressed by your responsiveness to my research or hi-res requests. Research is always posted quickly and is thorough and accurate. I also can't tell you how important it has been that you have been able to be flexible in setting up pricing that was affordable for us given our small budget. This is ultimately what allowed me to consider you as an "A List" source and to freely submit images to the editors and designers for consideration without a second thought. Thanks again for all you do!" - Deborah Goodsite, Picture Services and Consulting


  • "PhotoEdit is one of the best agencies for diversity and editorial content. You've really created a great niche." - Sarah Evertson, Photo Researcher, Image Quest

  • "PhotoEdit provides a great selection of people who look genuine and realistic, as opposed to people who look like hired models. Their images cover all age groups and ethnicities, including persons with disabilities." - Terry Janecek, Photo Finders


  • "Your site is the first place I think of for natural shots of people, especially minorities in all social aspects." - Roy Neuhaus, Graphic Designer, Roy Neuhaus Design
