iStock Affiliate Program
Photography
iStock was founded in 2000 by Bruce Livingstone, a photographer and entrepreneur. Initially, it started as a platform for photographers to share and sell their images at affordable prices. Over time, the platform expanded to include illustrations, videos, and audio content, catering to the growing demand for diverse visual and multimedia assets.
The iStock content library is accessible through simple online searches or API integration. Downloaded media can be used for commercial or personal projects following iStock’s straightforward licensing model.
