Masterfile (library)

Masterfile Corporation is the largest independent stock photography library in North America. With a head office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Masterfile has sales offices in London, Paris, Milan and Düsseldorf and is represented in over 35 other countries around the world by independent agents.

Masterfile is a visual content provider. A generalist stock photo library, with a lifestyle focus, Masterfile has a large collection of Rights-Managed and Royalty-Free photos and illustrations. The collection covers all genres and subjects.

Images are licensed to commercial buyers for use in advertising, editorial and other media. Royalties are paid to the contributing artists. The images are stored digitally, showcased, licensed and delivered instantly to business clients worldwide via the Internet 24/7.

Copyright Trolling Accusations

Much like 'Getty Images, Masterfile has come under fire in recent years by aggressively defending copyrighted images. Unlike Getty, Masterfile has been known to actively litigate for thousands of dollars in damages against individuals and small businesses who unknowingly made use of one of Masterfile's licensed images.
