Whats the Difference Between Free and Royalty-Free Images?
A lot of time when you search on ‘Free Graphic’ or ‘Free Image’ you will get a lot of links to ‘Royalty-Free Images’. Royalty-Free means simply that when you purchase the right to use an image, you can use it as many times as you like without any additional payments. A royalty payment is a payment that must be made each time an item is used or sold. So royalty-free images for sale, means you pay a one-time fee for the use of the graphic. Now do you see why I prefer ‘Free Graphics’ over ‘Royalty-Free Graphics’??
