Ripicts Standard Image License vs. Enhanced Image License
The Enhanced License offers more flexibility and protection than the Standard License. Every image downloaded on Ripicts comes with a license. That license determines how that image can be used.
Standard License
All our online image subscriptions, whether for individuals or for teams, come equipped with the Standard License, granting worldwide and perpetual use of the images you license. For usage beyond these limits (e.g., merchandise, templates, or unlimited print runs), an Enhanced License is required.
Common Use Cases
- Web and app advertising
- E-publications and email marketing
- Use in social media and on video sharing services (like YouTube)
- Small film productions, TV series or ads with a budget under €10K
- Printed materials, including product packaging, with less than 500K total prints
- Personal, non-commercial use
License Features
- Worldwide, non-exclusive usage rights
- Unlimited number of projects
- No time limitation
- Digital use in websites and social media
- Print materials up to 500,000 copies
- Digital materials for resale where the image is not the primary value (e.g., an e-book, website theme, or app where the image supports the product but isn’t the product itself)
Restrictions
- Not permitted for resale products where the image constitutes the main value of the item (e.g., posters, prints, apparel)
- Cannot be used in templates or mockups for resale
- Cannot be redistributed or sublicensed
- Cannot claim ownership of the image
- Not to be used in a defamatory, pornographic, or misleading context, or in connection with sensitive topics without additional permissions
Extended License
This Extended License provides all rights granted under the Standard License, plus additional rights for merchandise, templates, and unlimited print runs — giving you maximum flexibility for large-scale and resale projects. It expands upon the Standard License by removing print run limits and permitting commercial resale applications.
Common Use Cases
- Merchandise for promotional or retail use
- Use within templates
- Decoration in a business or commercial space
- Unlimited print runs for books/magazines
- Large budget productions
- Unlimited out-of-home advertising

Restrictions
- The original image file may not be redistributed, sublicensed, or made available for download.
- The image may not be registered as part of a trademark, design mark, service mark, or logo (a separate Custom License is required).
- Not to be used in a defamatory, pornographic, deceptive, or otherwise unlawful manner, or in connection with sensitive subjects (e.g., politics, religion, health, sexual orientation) without appropriate consent.
- You may not claim ownership of or authorship in the image.
