Simple royalty-free licensing, documented before you download
Every image on SiegmannStock carries its tier, license terms, and release status before you download. This page explains exactly what your license covers — in plain language, with nothing hidden at checkout.
Four curation tiers — one simple license for all
Same license. Same resolution. Every tier.
A tier describes the image — its curation score — not your rights. Access, Premium, Premium+, and Signature all ship under the same royalty-free license, at the same resolution, with terms shown before you download.
Access

Typical use: blog headers, social media posts, email newsletters — everyday layouts that need a professional visual.
Premium
$50 · Score 50–69
License: Royalty-free
Typical use: book covers, website heroes, corporate reports, magazine features — high-impact projects that need copy space.
Premium+
$75 · Score 70–89

Signature
$100 · Score 90+ (manually reviewed)

Licensing questions, answered
Can I use SiegmannStock images for commercial projects?
Yes. One simple royalty-free license covers every tier — Access, Premium, and Signature alike — shown on each image before you download, with instant download access at purchase. What the tiers change is the imagery's curation score, never your usage rights.
I've been burned by licensing issues before - how is yours different?
Every image includes the same documented royalty-free licensing terms and proper model/property releases — the tier changes the image, not your rights. Contact us for written clarification before purchase.
What if I need changes to an image after purchasing?
Original captures are never edited. Use semantic search to match a visually similar image by composition, mood, and copy space, or commission custom photography for a bespoke brief.
What happens after I purchase - can I re-download or update my license later?
Purchased images remain available for re-download from your account. License terms are documented at purchase and persist for the agreed usage period. Contact us if your project scope changes — we can discuss extended licensing options.
