Royalty Free is simple and easy to handle and is characterized by virtually unlimited use rights.

For rights managed stock photos, the use is defined for a specific period of time, a specific territory and a specific user. Rights Managed is usually found with particularly high quality images or rare content. It is also the standard license form for editorial images from press photographers. Due to the complexity of the licensing process, this type of license is rarely used in the commercial sector today.
