Pond5 / Available On Streaming Rental or Purchase

Pond5 is the world’s largest online library of royalty-free stock footage. Since 2006, over 35 million videos have been uploaded to the site. The library has since expanded to stock music, photos, sound effects, After Effects templates, and 3D models after its acquisition of the stock photography site Pixmac. Because of the selection and its robust search engine, users can search for the exact type of content needed in order to complete their film. The site does not own its content– it just creates the license for and collects the content in its store. Users on the platform can use these files anywhere forever without royalties for a fee determined by the contributor, who receives 50%. Users can pay a fee per file or can pay for monthly/yearly subscriptions if they need multiple files.
