Getty, Shutterstock and Adobe Stock dominate stock imagery, and all three are American. Europe has serious agencies of its own, from mass microstock to premium rights-managed collections, often with more photographer-friendly terms.

Spain's Freepik is the graphics-and-photo powerhouse that now owns Flaticon and EyeEm, and age fotostock is a huge Barcelona agency. Germany is the heart of European stock: PantherMedia, Westend61, imageBROKER, Zoonar and Hamburg's plainpicture. The UK's Alamy runs one of the world's largest, most inclusive libraries.
