Frequently asked questions
general
Nope, the images in our collections aren't ours, nor do we host them for download here on our site. We're simply linking you out to a set of free stock images to save you the hassle of having to search for them yourself.
Close, but no. We will be sending you an interactive PDF that contains links to images. We call this a Link Pack. So while we're not selling actual images, what you're paying for with Mosaic is the time spent sifting through hundreds of thousands of images to find the best of the best, and the curatorial eye it took to craft them together into the collections you see here on the site.
Yes, but collections found on the stock sites themselves are either too large and broad to be useful, or compiled by layman users with questionable design credentials.
Our collections, on the other hand, are curated by a 20-year veteran designer who has spent her career pulling images together for articles in well-known magazines; to form visual identities for well-known brands; and to build websites for lifestyle products you probably have at home.
In a nutshell, the images we link to in our collections are free to use in both personal and commercial projects, and without attribution. Always do your due diligence though and be sure to check out the full license terms at the links below.

With Mosaic, you know you’re getting a highly critical eye for quality and composition, a cohesive visual vibe (meaning things like lighting, tone, and color treatment are all the same), and collections that are capable of telling a story. Plus, there is no escaping Mosaic's distinctly cheeky, gritty, almost-but-not-quite bittersweet vibe that runs through all collections warm or cold, light or dark, from near or afar.
We love hearing what sorts of photos you're looking for. Let us know what you'd love to see in the shop here.
Purchases
After purchase, you'll receive a link where you can download your Link Pack. We'll email this to you as well for safe-keeping.
Any PDF reader or internet browser will load your link pack.
Due to the nature of digital products being immediately accessible upon purchasing, Link Packs are not returnable and therefore not refundable.
Very occasionally an artist will pull one of their images off of a stock site, which we have no control over and get no notice of. In the rare event that your link pack contains a link that is no longer active, email us at missinglink@mosaicstockshop.com and we'll send you not one but two replacement links to fill the gap.
For artists
If you are a photographer or videographer and would like to be considered for inclusion in one of our Link Packs, please submit your portfolio here.
Absolutely. We'll be sad to lose you, but if you'd like to no longer be linked to from one of our collections, please let us know, being sure to reference the collection and the photo(s) in question.
Awesome, we are too. We're always looking for talented artists to link to in our collections, and we're working hard on launching our own stock subscription service for 2023. Hit us up here, and let's talk more!
