Fotolia

Fotolia was a French-American stock photography marketplace founded in 2005 that offered a subscription and credit-based licensing model for stock photos, illustrations, vectors, and video clips. The platform was popular with small businesses, graphic designers, and marketing professionals who needed affordable visual content without the high per-image pricing of major stock agencies like Getty Images and Corbis.

Fotolia's credit-pack model allowed buyers to purchase image credits in bulk and use them as needed, providing cost predictability for design projects. Their library spanned millions of images contributed by photographers and illustrators worldwide, covering virtually every commercial and creative need.

Adobe acquired Fotolia in 2015 and integrated its content into Adobe Stock, which now powers Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers' access to stock imagery. Former Fotolia customers access equivalent or better content through Adobe Stock, which is built directly into Photoshop, Illustrator, and other Creative Cloud apps.
