Licenses photography, video, and editorial coverage across three brands — Getty Images, iStock, and Unsplash — drawing on an archive that reaches back to the earliest days of photography and a network of contributors and partners. Revenue leans on recurring subscriptions from corporate, media, and agency customers concentrated in the Americas.
Operates three visual-content brands — Getty Images, iStock, and Unsplash — that license photography, illustration, and video sourced from an archive reaching back to photography's earliest days and a network of contributors and partner agencies spread across dozens of countries.
Content splits between Creative work made for commercial and conceptual use — including AI-generated imagery — and Editorial coverage of news, sports, and entertainment. Licensing revenue recurs mostly through annual subscriptions, and corporate buyers account for most of it, with media outlets and agencies making up the rest.
Customers concentrate in the Americas, with meaningful reach across Europe and Asia-Pacific. A generative-AI product trained only on the company's own licensed library extends the licensing business into AI-made imagery, a distinction whose durability depends on how court rulings treat AI models trained on copyrighted images.
