Why would I want to download an editorial licensed photo?
If you are using images for e-learning or reviewing a product on your blog, it is useful to have a photo to illustrate the subject or of the product you are reviewing. A Scopio photo of an iPhone in an article about iPhones or an Audi Car if you are reviewing the car would be an example. If you are blogging about vacation, or want to write a review about a product you came across, you can find an image of the location spot or the product with its logo through our Editorial collection.
You cannot use images for Advertorial. Advertorial for example, would be an ad in disguise of an article. If it’s information on a current event like Women’s March or COVID-19 that would be ok to use.
