Scandinavian Stockphoto AS is a Norwegian stock photo agency founded in 2004, positioned as a low-cost image licensing service. The site focuses on “high-resolution stock photos, low prices, and no subscription,” claiming a library of more than 5 million images supplied by professional photographers across Europe. Its content is mainly stock photography, suitable for design and communications use cases such as websites, advertising, editorial content, book covers, direct mail, and promotional materials.
Its core purchasing model is credit-based: 1 download credit equals 1 high-resolution image. After purchase, credits can be used for downloads within 2 years, with no monthly usage requirement and no auto-renewing subscription. In terms of licensing, the site states that download credits are valid for 2 years, while the image license itself is perpetual. Images may be used for both commercial and editorial purposes. However, some images are marked “Only for editorial use.” These usually involve identifiable people, trademarks, landmarks, or artworks, and may not include full model or property releases. They should only be used in editorial contexts such as news, magazines, web articles, or relevant non-fiction books. For design teams, this is something to check carefully before using images in commercial advertising campaigns.
The pricing structure is fairly straightforward: a single image costs USD 8.80; a 10-image package costs USD 39, or about USD 3.90 per image; and the pricing page lists a 50-image package at USD 159, or about USD 3.18 per image. However, the “About” text also mentions USD 199 for 50 images, or about USD 3.98 per image, indicating inconsistent information across pages. Buyers should therefore rely on the checkout page before making a purchase. Payment methods include credit cards, and invoice/prepayment options are available for corporate customers, making it suitable for businesses with formal finance processes.
Its advantages are low pricing, no subscription pressure, and a long credit validity period. It is especially suitable for SMBs, marketers, editorial teams, and independent designers whose image needs fluctuate throughout the year. Unlike subscription-based stock libraries, it does not require monthly downloads, and even a 10-image pack can be used gradually over time. The downsides are the lack of information about collaboration features, permission management, APIs, plugins, and available asset formats. The library also appears to focus mainly on photos, with no clear mention of videos, vectors, or templates. The licensing text is relatively brief, so complex commercial use cases should still be confirmed with the provider.
The crawled text does not provide information on access from mainland China, RMB payments, or local Chinese invoicing, so china_access can only be considered unknown. If access or cross-border payment is inconvenient, alternatives include Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, iStock, Depositphotos, or China-based options such as 视觉中国 and 站酷海洛.
