To make it a bit easier to digest our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, we thought we'd start by highlighting in plain English some of the issues. This summary is not a legal document. Of course you'll want to read the complete Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, but here's what we think is important:

Privacy:

• We'll only send you emails if you sign up. We'll never give or sell your email address to another company. We hate spam as much as you do.
• If you come to Made Of Pixels directly from a partner site, we may share your information back with the partner that sent you to Made Of Pixels. If that's the case, we'll tell you onscreen that we're going to do so. Other than that one case, we won't share any information that identifies you as an individual with any other third party. Not ever.
• If you decide to publicly post your personal information in our community sections, we can't be responsible for what happens to that information. Post wisely.
• We track the assets on Made Of Pixels so we can make sure artists get statistical metrics. We must report on clicks and interactivity in aggregate to imagery rightsholders, but we never report on what you individually are browsing and reviewing.
• To personalize advertising we may pass along your age, gender, geographic region, or your occupation to our advertising service provider so the ad server can personalize the ads for you, but we never send any information that identifies you as an individual.
• Our advertising system, like just about every ad system on the web, uses cookies to keep track of the ads you've already seen and to target ads to what we hope are your interests.
• We take great care to ensure that any personal information you store on Made Of Pixels is secure and safeguarded at all times.

Terms:

• Thanks to the way our indexing service works, you have to live in the United States to use Made Of Pixels. You also have to be at least 18 years old. Made Of Pixels can only be used if you are in the United States.
• We expect you to keep your account password to yourself.
• You can't use Made Of Pixels to steal imagery, and you have to view it through madeofpixels.com or on a device officially supported by Made Of Pixels.
• Do not use Made Of Pixels if you do not agree to the Terms of Use. Your use of Made Of Pixels means you agree to the Terms of Use.

A message from the founders:
This website is for you, the graphics professional. Time is becoming exceedingly precious and the quality of our finished work suffers from it. MadeOfPixels.com was created to gain more time from the work day so that you can develop better work, better design, better ideas and hopefully spend more time with those that matter the most.

Made Of Pixels FAQs

What is MadeOfPixels.com?
This is a search engine specifically for stock imagery. In an industry of over 300 stock imagery agencies, it made sense to house the majority of those images under one search point instead of spending all day looking through good and underperforming stock photo sites for a handful of images.

The agency link does not bring me to the correct Image page. How do I find that image to license?
If a link does not work properly, please let us know. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We suggest using the Catalog ID or number and directly inputting that information into the agency’s search system.

I’m an artist and I don’t see my images. How do I get my images listed on MadeOfPixels.com?
At this time, we are only indexing imagery that has an agency or similar representation. Feel free to contact us if you would like your images listed.

Can we purchase the images in our Lightbox directly through MadeOfPixels.com?
No, you must go directly to the stock photo agency to license your selected images.

I can’t find any celebrity, sports or news photos on MadeOfPixels.com. Will there be a section for those topics?
Yes, but not any time soon. We have prioritized creative imagery at this time.

What works? What needs improving?

What versions of operating system and browser are you using?

Please give us your email so that we can reply to you. By US law, we do not spam.

Last question: How much do you spend yearly on stock images?

$0 to $100 $100 to $1000 $1000 to $10,000 $10,000 to $50,000 $50,000 to $100,000 over $100,000
