FAQ

How do I organize all my images?
A Board is the best place to organize, save and share your favorite files on Getty Images, letting you group images and video by project, brand or interest.
The easiest way to save to a Board is when you're signed in and searching. When you find an image you'd like to add to a Board, simply select Save to Board either from the search results page or beneath the image on the detailed information page. If you don't have a Board already, you'll be prompted to create a new Board. Otherwise, your image or video clip will be added to the last Board you viewed or used.
You can view the contents of all your Boards by selecting Boards from the menu and then selecting View all Boards.
Ready to download from your Board? Add images or video clips to your cart by selecting the ones you want to download and clicking the shopping cart icon at the top of your Board. If you have a prepaid pack, you can download individual files from your board using the UltraPack download option on the detailed grid view of your Board. Download single or multiple images by selecting them and choosing Download selected assets from the Choose an option dropdown.
