The plans are very convenient, with low prices that take a single image prices down to less than a dollar each. You can also buy credit packs that let you access premium and additional content in an on-demand model.

Key features

• Unlimited access to standard images:IU users can download an unlimited number of assets of Adobe Stock’s “standard content”. This includes most photos, vector graphics, and illustrations listed on Adobe Stock. There are currently more than 190 million assets on Adobe Stock, most of which are considered “standard content”, with more being added on an ongoing basis.

  While additional premium assets, such as video, templates, and 3D models, are not available to most IU users as part of this agreement, some previously licensed premium assets can be re-downloaded by anyone at IU by browsing through the license history  on the Adobe Stock website. Additionally, Adobe has made a limited number of Photoshop , Illustrator , InDesign  and motion graphics  templates available to download for free. Adobe Stock also offers some other content for free , including some video.

  IU has a very limited number of credits for premium content, such as video, audio, templates, 3D models, and some images. These assets are tagged as “premium” when searching Adobe Stock. Credits can be allotted to individual faculty or staff users on a case-by-case basis. Note that credits are only needed for this premium content; before requesting credits, make sure the standard or free content as outlined above isn’t meeting your needs. If you are a faculty or staff member and would like to request credits, complete the Adobe Stock Premium Credits Request form .

  Note:

  Only IU employees may request credits for premium content. However, all IU users may download unlimited standard assets, including more than 190 million photos, illustrations, and graphics, as outlined above.
• Search:To help navigate the millions of assets and find the right one for a project, Adobe Stock includes advanced search and filtering capabilities, including visual search that searches for images similar to one a user uploads; filters that sort based on elements like depth of field or whether an image has room to add copy or other elements; and artificial intelligence algorithms that apply search terms to individual aesthetic elements found in an image. For more, see Adobe Stock Search Tips .
