Licensing shouldn’t

be a hassle

Storyblocks is dedicated to making stock media simple. That’s why we offer worry-free licensing with the highest level of legal coverage in the industry.

THE STORYBLOCKS LICENSING GUARANTEE

100% Royalty-free

Anything you download is yours to use royalty-free, all within the flat price of your subscription fee. There's no need to track different licenses used for each asset or project, and no surprise bills after your campaign launches.

Worldwide Distribution

You can distribute your finished projects anywhere, on any channel. Our license has no restrictions on geography, merchandising, or the number of times a project is viewed. We want your stories to be seen far and wide.

In Perpetuity

Anything you download is yours to keep forever — even after your Storyblocks subscription ends. Your license never expires, so your stories can live on too.

YouTube Claims Support

Our platform helps you proactively avoid Content ID claims, so you won't risk delays when publishing your videos to YouTube. If any issues do arise, our support team will jump in to assist to get your claim resolved quickly.
