Many of you have asked me where can you get Royalty Free images?
And where do I take the images for my You Tube channel
We will learn about Royalty Free Images in this video
What are Royalty Free Images and what's their use?
I will also tell you about a site from where you can get Royalty Free Images
Hello my name is Aekta
First let's understand what are Royalty Free Images
Royalty Free Images means pictures for which you do not need to pay any royalty or fees
But why is there a royalty for images ?
Let's understand this better
If an artist makes a painting or an illustration ... then it's a result of their hard work.
They copyright the painting or the sketch
If someone else wants to use the painting , the artist gets paid royalty or fees due to the copyright
If a photographer clicks a picture then they should also get a royalty for the intellectual property
If you use that picture you may have to give some royalty
Similarly if you use copyrighted images in a You Tube video, you will need to give a royalty to the creator or the copyright owner
How does one get royalty free images on which there is no copyright issue?
Is there any site from which one can get royalty free images ?
Graphic Stock is a site from where you can get royalty free stock photos
Graphic Stock is a subscription service
where you can download over 300,000 graphics, photos and vectors
and you can use them on your YouTube channel, blog or Facebook page without worrying about copyright issues
You can subscribe to Graphic Stock for 6 months for only USD 39
Usually the subscription fee for one month is USD 49 so you can save 87% if you subscribe now. The link is in the description
So have I used Graphic Stock images myself ?
Yes - I often use Graphic Stock pictures for my Facebook profile , cover photo, YouTube channel art and in videos
Let's use a picture from Graphic Stock to make a Facebook profile pic
Type graphicstock.com in the browser
The Graphic Stock website will open
If you don't have an account with Graphic Stock, you can create a new account
I have already created an account so I will search for an image
Please note you have alot of options available here
You can see photos or illustrations or vectors here
Or you can type whatever you are looking for directly in the search box
I have already selected an image that I like
I will use this image here
Let's check the specs of this image
This is in a jpg format
And its size is almost 10MB
You can create a project folder here and add this image or you can download the image to your computer
I will download the image to my computer
Click on the download button and save the image
The format and dimensions of the image are displayed here
The resolution of the image is also given
The image has been downloaded
Click on it to open the image
Here you can see my image
I will use this image to create a Facebook profile pic
Let's close the image
Let's open a photo editing tool in our browser- PicMonkey
Go to PicMonkey.com and click on edit
Let's upload the photo that we just saved
Let's Click on the picture to upload it
Now it's asking us to confirm the picture setting
We will leave it as bubbles for now
Click on the Save button
Our selected image is displayed here
Usually we need a square-shaped picture for a Facebook profile pic
Click on resize
The resolution for this picture is quite high. You can choose to reduce it if you wish
I will change it to 800 x 800
The photo has been resized now
Now let's import an image here
I want to put the 'Kya Kaise' logo here
Click on Overlays
Click on Apply Resize
In overlays, click on 'Your Own'
Choose a photo from the computer
This is my logo and I will reduce it in size to place it in the center here
The 'Kya Kaise' logo is now on top of the original image
Now you can download this to your computer as well
Click on the icon on top to combine all image elements
The photo now becomes a combined image
Meaning the two different elements in the image have now become one
Click on the Save button
Choose the format
Let's choose the png format
Click on the 'Save to My Computer' button and save the photo to your computer
The image has now been saved
Let's go to Facebook
Let's open the Kya Kaise Facebook page
I already have a profile photo on this page
Let me change it
Click on Update Profile photo and upload photo
Let me Select the photo that I recently downloaded from Graphic Stock and edited using PicMonkey
My Facebook profile pic has now changed
and I have uploaded the same photo that I recently downloaded from Graphic Stock and edited using PicMonkey
You can find various photos on Graphic Stock and use them as per your preference
For instance Mother's Day is coming in a few days
So let's make a greeting card for mother's day from Graphic Stock
Type Mother's Day in the search bar
Click on Mother's Day card
You can see a lot of Mother's Day cards here
You can view them one by one at leisure
I have already selected one card here
This is my card and I want to post this card on Facebook
First let's download the card
You have 2 options for downloading the card
The first option is EPS file and the second option is JPG
If you are an advanced user and use a photo editing software such as PhotoShop then you can use the EPS format
For now I will use the JPG format here
The resolution is ok . Let's download the file
Click on the download button and save it to the folder
The image is saved
Let's go back to PicMonkey
Click on Edit and upload the card
I don't want to make too many changes here .
But I want to add "From Kya Kaise" to the card
Click on Text
A number of different fonts are available
I will choose this font
Click on add text
Let's type "From Kya Kaise"
Let's Center-align the text
Let me Reduce the font size
Select the text and select 48 font size
48 is extremely small so I will change it to 96
The card now reads Happy Mother's Day from Kya Kaise
You can choose to give it a drop shadow frame as well
I will give it a museum matte finish so that its border will change
Now it's looking like a proper greeting card
Let's combine all the image elements
Click on Apply Museum Matte
Click on Save
Choose the png format and save it to the computer
However this resolution is quite high
I will reduce it to 900 x 900 pixel
The file size also becomes smaller
Let's reduce the resolution further to 600 x 600 pixels
and click on save to my computer to save this card
There are more than 300,000 stock photos that are available here
and the cost is only 39 USD for six months
which I think, is very reasonable
So you can also take royalty free pictures from Graphic Stock
and can use them in your videos or share them on social media
