At Picmaker, we know the best pictures make your designs come alive. Which is why we offer a wide range of choices - free, premium and elite elements available for purchase.

Elite images will have watermarks (criss-cross patterns) on your design until they’re purchased.

Picmaker has an extensive library of high-quality free images, videos, audio, and other graphics.

We integrate with partners like Getty, Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash, giving paid users access to 100 million stock images for your design projects.

In order to access Picmaker's Elite Images, sign in to Picmaker first. You will be taken to a dashboard, which looks something like this.

Now, select a design category and pick a design you like from Picmaker's endless library of template collection.

Go to the Photos option in the left hand side of your artboard, and enter a keyword you wish to search.

All the images that appear with a crown watermark to their top right corner, are free images.

When you try to download free images, you will not see any payment options.

Now, with the elite images, you can notice the crowns at the top right corner indicating that they are paid images.

When you try to download this image, you will be notified about the applicable fee for that particular elite image.

So if you're wondering if it's worth the upgrade, here's our take.

Elite stock photo collections offer images that go beyond the typical stock photo. Images that are more artistic, that have a higher production value, and a different, more unique aesthetics.
