What it really is
A budget royalty-free stock library of photos, vectors and videos sold by subscription, credits or a lifetime deal.
Our take
YAY Images is a cheap way to cover everyday stock image needs, and its licence is generous for client and print-on-demand work. The fine print matters more than usual: 'unlimited' can be capped at 30 a day, downloads are not refunded, and two of the three headline prices are framed as limited offers. Search quality and exclusivity are lower priorities here than price.
Why we rate it
Low price for unlimited photos, vectors and video with a commercial licence.
The catch
Fair-use cap of 30 downloads a day is allowed by the terms, no refunds on downloads, and offer-style pricing.
Best for
Freelancers and small agencies
Print-on-demand sellers
High-volume social content
Not good for
Teams needing many seats
Buyers who want premium or exclusive imagery
Anyone needing music, fonts or templates
