YAY Images used Copytrack to send an email to one of our customers trying to shake them down for money. YAY Images claimed the rights to an image that was actually purchased/licensed from Adobe Stock.... See more

Use Yayimages and approx 18 months later you'll get an email from COPYSCAPE begging for money. Bottom of the barrel, parasites. Just beware and ignore their false claims of copyright infringement... See more

Good source of images on a wide range of topics

My company uses a lot of images, and we've found Yay Images to be a good source of images on a wide range of topics. The prices are affordable and with plans for people who just need a few images, or those who frequently need images.

An amazing picture libary

An amazing picture libary
A much better value than other stock photo offerings. I do take a lot of my own photos but every once in awhile I need something special, so this will last me a very long time. I'm a Realtor and there are a good selection of pics I haven't seen before.

Small technical consulting business

We run a small consulting business, and need weekly newsletters, LinkedIn and FB posts with original and helpful content that doesn't break the bank to purchase. We have used some other paid resources for trial images, but decided to purchase YayImages because: 1. It provides a good selection of vectors and photos 2. Easily searchable 3. Can download graphics in the size we need OR EPS if required on the same one credit 4. Now has Video (200K+) as we shift to more engaging content 5. Fast loading and easy to use...the UI is easy to navigate for novices like our internal team. Excellent selection at cost that is affordable for the small shop like us.

Best image service out there!

Best thing ever when I started using YAY Images. So all the stock images are great--high quality and a lot of them. I always find what I need.

And finding what I need--that's the clincher on this service. The advanced search feature is better than anything else out there! Just the time savings for finding what you need makes YAY Images a no-brainer. You will love it!

Excellent selection of high quality…

Excellent selection of high quality photos, graphics and images at a sensible price point. I've been using YAY images mostly for web design projects, and they always have the right photos for the industry or category to match the website. OK the image browser on the website isn't as slick as some of the big name stock photo libraries out there but when you compare the prices YAY Images is really hard to beat.

Find the exact image that you are looking for

I've been using Yayimages for a year now, and I couldn't be happier. I don't waste time looking for photos by keyword, the search engine is smart to find the image with the subject I'm looking for. I recommend it for web design, and for social networks.

The images and vectors look great

The images and vectors look great.

As an author and professional speaker, I'm always looking for crisp images to convey messages to my audiences. Drawing upon fresh well of images is a wonderful option.

For my needs the Yay image resolution is sufficient. Most images fall approximately into the 3000 x 4000 pixels range or reversed depending on orientation.

Stands out from the crowd

I've found a lot of niche images on Yay Images that I have not seen on other sites.

The favorites folders are useful and the file naming convention (id + short description) is more intelligent than some other sites.

Great choice of images

The site has a great variety of images which are suitable for any project and use.

The pricing is good and I feel the site is superior to some of the other stock image sites.

It's the site I always visit whenever I need images which is at least once a month.

Worth Every Penny

I've been using Yayimages for a year now and it is a get go tool for all my blogging needs. I also write a nature-based local area guide and it can be hard to find good photos of some of the things we write about. Since getting this, I've found all the photos I needed for my articles. I do prefer taking my own photos, but finding quality stock photos helps save time and money, which I seem to be short of these days.

Great value, excellent selection, and I appreciate the different search options to help me find exactly what it is I'm looking for.
