Good deals - slow customer service
I bought lifetime deal - Yayimages had technical problems during my purchase and it took several weeks and emails for customer service to apply the deal to my account. Otherwise the service works fine.

This site is the best site I have ever found.
The pictures are crystal clear and are value for money
I'm just trying to understand how this…
I'm just trying to understand how this works. I can't seem to find a way to edit/remove/ submitted content...and it seem like they are all free for all to use for some reason, I have many many submitted things and a lifetime of $0 income from them.
(same content is earners on other stock sites)
I don't know, something really fishy is going on with these guys. I would like to be able to set a price or subscription for my content or if not, select that I at least get paid, not give away all my stuff.

Fairly pointless agency
Fairly pointless agency. Very limited sales. They now blanket decline all images as limited commercial value.
170 images accept no problem. The next 21 all rejected. It's just inconsistent.

Think twice before you join yayimages as a contributor.
Recently, they rejected all my uploaded photos -which were accepted by other 8 stock companies- in the same reason "Limited Commercial Value". It's convenient huh.
When I asked them to close my account and delete all my assets, they refused to pay my unpaid Earnings.
Think twice before you join them, contributors.

Be carful with this company
Be carful with this company. They locked my account when i earned more than 100$ .They are still selling my images. Law suit in progress.
Your answer is not True. I had an account for more than 5 years. And suddenly you found reasone just not to pay.
You accept content sell it and suddenly when there is money you steal it.
I also can see from the comments that it already happened multiple times. You are stealing from contributors.

Started using YAY Images, Found my solution!
Started using YAY Images via a freebie they had released on an online platform.
I found the number of images available to be excellent for using to build my clients' web design projects, and have chosen to purchase more to extend my project abilities.
Very happy with the service provided and looking forward to seeing more content as time goes on as they add more content over time. You will find what you need for your marketing requirements on YAY Images.
Thugs!
GET A GRIP, YAYIMAGES.
Don't you know the difference between STOCK FOOTAGE and STOCK IMAGES?
I asked to remove my stock footage and keep the stock images as it is. The request was NOT to disable my account, you thugs!
So much for a marketplace with the name YAY"IMAGES". Not so YAYful experience though.
You know what, keep the account suspended. I don't wanna contribute to such an ignorant marketplace.
UPDATE (October 14 2021):
They suspended my account after finding this review on Trustpilot.
The note says "Your account has been suspended for violating our terms or for other reasons. Your content is scheduled for deletion"
What a Joke!
This is what happens when a so-called "Organization" is run by "amateurs". I am certain that the reply was from their CEO or some high-ranking employee. They only had this 1 guy respond to all the customers and contributors' queries. 1 guy for all.
And yes, I had $33 accumulated in my profile. Keep the change. Throw a little bonus for your employees. It looks like you guys need that money more than I do.
Enjoy! THUGS
Original Review:
Thugs!
I wish there was an option to provide 0 stars. These thugs lured contributors last year (Mar-Apr 2020) with a promise to sell stock footage and share 50% revenue with contributors. The exact words from their email goes something like this:
"We are launching video footage single sales. The pricing model will be single sales only, customers pay for what they need, when they need it. We will share commissions on a 50/50 basis.
Pricing for video single sales, will be as follows:
SD: $49
HD: $59
4K: $149
The first step you need to take to become a video contributor, is to login to the contributor dashboard and request approval."
Sure it was a tempting offer, and I uploaded 400 of my best clips on their platform.
As soon as contributors started uploading stock clips to their platform, they silently decreased the video prices to
$5 for HD
$25 for 4K
Like seriously guys? Where's your promise?
When I asked them to remove all 400+ clips, they "assured" me that the clips will be removed within 24 hours.
That was 3 days ago.
I don't recommend contributors submit their hard work to these thugs.

YaYimages is one of the two stock Photo…
YaYimages is one of the two stock Photo sites I would recommend. I at first had a small issue with them but after talking about things everything was resolved.
One of the things I love to do is help out start-ups as well as with a name I know about.
Their packages are well priced and I have to say I am happy with them.

Tons of stock photos for a great price
Tons of stock photos for a great price, plus, the uniqueness of the pictures in each search is rich in variety. Thank you, Yay!
Great Stuff!
Quality images on an easy to use platform
In a few weeks, I will have been using Yay Images for a year. Who knew what 2020 would be like, and that there would be even more uses for the quality images that Yay Images provides? I've used them for Zoom backgrounds, website images, and more. Yay Images' library makes the right images easy to find in every category I've searched, provides a safe search filter, and even lets you drag and drop an image you have to find similar images! Recommended.
Yay Images is awesome!
Viewing images is very fast, the fastest image website I've used. The images display rapidly and clearly.
Going from page to page is also fast. The images are high quality and download quickly.
The search feature brings up the images super fast. When hovering over an image it enlarges and displays metadata about the file.
Something else I like is the filename includes a description of the image, not just a number. This saves time.
There is a great selection of images to chose from.
Great image selection
Great image selection, easy to use service, many helpful features!
We were looking for good quality images…
We were looking for good quality images for our design and creative business and YAY Images came to our rescue. We contacted their support for questions and they were very responsive. We highly recommend them if you’re looking for affordable images and videos for your projects.
Great image service
Great image service! Always find what I am looking for in quality! Thank you YAY Images.
