Library FAQs
Simply sign up on the Library website (excio.io), make the payment, and start downloading.
Your $500+GST payment gives you one PhotoToken (PT), which is like a library card that gives you access to download the images. After one year, you can let your token lapse, or you can keep it active by paying the annual licence fee. You can keep your tokens active for as many years as you desire by paying the annual licence fee.
Access to the Excio Library is different to a subscription. Instead of paying the same fee every year, you pay one-off access fee and then, if you wish to keep your access to the Library, you pay an annual licence fee. This fee is calculated by multiplying the number of images in the library by 0.5%. For 2023/24 the fee is capped at $250+GST (0.5%*50,000 images).
We have removed all unnecessary hurdles, fine print, and hidden comprehensive add-ons to make it easy for photographers and image buyers to understand how images can be used.
You can use photographs from the Excio Image Library in any project or campaign except re-selling images as your own or using them on products where the photograph becomes the main revenue-driving component (eg, on a T-shirt).
Under the Excio licence, you must not use an image in any way that is pornographic, offensive, racist, or ethically or culturally offensive. Images containing any person or logo, without a model release, must not be used for political endorsement.
If you are on Abundant+ plan, you can ask for an exclusive licence and we will arrange that with the photographers. You can also submit a custom request and we will ask our photographer-members if they have the photos you need or if they can arrange to take the photographs according to your brief.
Next year if you want to keep your Abundant+ plan active, you pay the licence fee of $250 to keep access to the Library and the special $500 fee for additional benefits which in total comes to $750+GST.
Photographs offered for sale in our library are supplied by members of the large and growing Excio Photographer Community. Find out more about membership and join! Please note that images are currently by invitation only. Submitted photographs also go through AI checks and a manual approval process before appearing in the marketplace.
We are based in Wellington, New Zealand, and will provide you with GST receipts for all your purchases.
