On Media Bakery, we offer editorial and commercial licesening solutions under two models: Royalty Free and Rights Managed Licenses. If you sell a product or service, you automatically have a commercialized need for stock photography in order to support any required marketing collateral. Because of that, you need to license the rights to use an image for that commercial need. If you are using an image to illustrate and idea or concept for non-commercial purposes, you'll be licensing an image for editorial purposes. Both uses require a paid licensing fee for images on Media Bakery. Please refer to Licenses in our website footer to read more about Royalty Free and Rights Managed licenses.
Collections are our version of “Lightboxes”. They allow you to save images into organized folders, name them as you like, and email them to team members. You can make your collections private so only you can view them, or you can make them public so other people in your organization can see. To get started click on the “plus” button that appears when you hover over an image or simply create a new collection in the footer when you click on an image. You should see your collections appear in your profile where you can organize them and change their names or settings.
We offer a comprehensive Advanced Search tool so you can find just what you’re looking for. You can find the Advanced Search by looking for the search icon on the left side of your search results. Click the icon and select what filters you would like to apply to your search results. You can also reset your selections by clicking the Reset button in the upper right corner of the advanced search tool.
After purchasing you have several options to download your images. You have the option to download individual images in the order you just placed immediately after purchasing. You can also “batch” download an entire order by either clicking on the Batch Download button immediately after an order. Alternatively you can “batch” download and entire past invoice by clicking downloads and then then invoices. There you should see a batch download button allowing you to perform the same function. In either case you will receive an email with your entire order ready to download shortly after your request.
