How to license an image

Four steps from search to licensed master file.

1

Search & explore

Use the search or faceted filters (institution, decade, subject, material type, rights status) to find an image.

2

Calculate the licence

On the image page, choose licence type, resolution, usage scale, territory and term — the price is calculated automatically.

3

Pay & e-invoice

Check out via FPX. The LHDN e-invoice and licence agreement are generated automatically.

4

Download the master

The full-resolution, watermark-free file is delivered through a secure link. Revenue is distributed to the owning institution.

For contributing institutions

Institutions submit collections via OAI-PMH harvesting, API, or direct upload, while retaining full ownership. Each institution sets its own rights status, base pricing and “reference only” collections, and receives periodic royalty statements & payouts.
