Crestock makes it easy to sell your images online. Registration is free and you can start uploading your pictures immediately. Images can also be uploaded using FTP. Crestock’s system reads embedded IPTC data automatically.
Images uploaded need to be a minimum of 8 Megapixels or larger and have 300dpi resolution. Crestock recommends always using the highest quality setting available in your camera. For photographs, only the .jpg format is accepted. Crestock also accepts vector illustrations in .ai or .eps formats if zipped and accompanied by a companion .jpg file.
Crestock offers royalties on a sliding scale based on how many images have been sold. New contributors begin with 20% commission for credit sales and 0.25 per image for subscription downloads. This moves to 25% once a total of 250 downloads have been reached and 30% at the 1,000 download mark. (Downloads include both credit and subscription sales.) The maximum commission is 40% (0.40 for subscription downloads).
Payments can be requested once you reach an account balance of $50 or more.
Payments are made via PayPal or Moneybookers.
