iStock is a subscription-based online library offering stock images, videos, illustrations, and music for use by creative professionals, graphic designers, art directors, and more.
The company offers several different types of monthly plans, as well as credit packs that allow you to pay per download.
The more you buy, the more you can save, and iStock offers occasional discounts and iStock promotion codes to help lower costs.
Choose Your Plan
iStock offers three monthly subscription plans: Basic, starting at $29 per month; Premium, starting at $70 per month, and Premium + Video, starting at $125 per month.
Occasionally the company offers discounts on these plans, such as Premium + Video, starting at $99. The monthly prices start at ten downloads and go up the more you download, such as 25, 50, or more.
Unused downloads can be rolled over to the next month, and you can roll over up to 250 downloads. You can also buy credits to pay as you go.
Shop Special Promotions
Occasionally iStock offers discounts and coupon codes on its "Promotions" page. Often, these take the form of iStock promo codes, such as 10% off credit pack orders, for example.
Check back often to see what codes may be available to help you save money. We will also post the latest iStock promotions on this page for your convenience!
Download the App
You can take your iStock account mobile by downloading the app for your smartphone or tablet. The app allows you to browse the image and video catalog, save favorites, and send content via email and messaging. You can download the app for iOS or Android devices.
Cancel Your Service or Get a Refund
Credits can be refunded within 14 days of your invoice, so long as no credits have been used from the credit pack you have purchased. Subscriptions can be refunded within 14 days, as well, so long as no more than five files have been downloaded and have not been used. If you started a free trial, you must cancel the trial before the trial period ends.

iStock Coupons & Discounts
iStock Promo Codes for First Orders
The iStock first order promo code is available after you submit your email address in the appropriate box. The amount of the discount varies, but it was at least 20% off. You can use the promo code as soon as you receive it, but remember there is an expiration date for the code.
iStock App
The iStock app discount arrives via email after downloading and installing the app onto your mobile phone or tablet. You must sign in to your user account to get the discount and use it on your next iStock purchase. The app is also great for learning about upcoming iStock deals.
Making Returns
The iStock return policy currently states that the store doesn't provide refunds because the clients download their products. However, they will make exceptions if there are technical problems with the download or the file. You must contact customer support if you experience any issues with the files.
Payment Options
The accepted iStock payment methods include all major credit or debit cards or iStock credits. Saving a payment method helps with recurring payments for subscriptions and makes it easier to purchase more credits.
