iStock Contributors: Average Download Per Image

Posted on 10/5/2016 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (3)

For the last 5 years I have conducted a semi-annual analysis of the number of downloads and images in the collection of 432 of iStock’s leading contributors. There may be some newer contributors that are now among the top iStock earners, but I don’t think very many. It takes time to build a significant collection and begin to get volumes of sales. These 432 probably represent one-third of all iStock single image downloads since the company began.

My last reports published at the beginning of July 2016 can be found here, here and here.

Previously, I had not considered ordering contributors based on downloads-per-image-in-the-collection. Such an analysis produces some interesting results. In the previous 12 months (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016) a few of this group (4%) received more than 10 downloads per image in the collection.  66% had less than 2 downloads per image in the collection and 43% had fewer than 1 download per image during the year. It is important to note that there are over 100,000 iStock contributors. In all likelihood all the rest did much worse, on average, in terms of downloads per-image-in-the-collection, than this group.



Exclusive contributors probably receive something in the range of $7.00 to $12.00 per download and Non-exclusive contributors probably receive about $2.50 to $4.00 per download.
All of these contributors have had more than 44,000 total downloads in their iStock careers and 200 of them (46.5%) have more 100,000 career downloads.

Over a year ago iStock started making these same images available to subscription customers. Subscription downloads are not included in these numbers. Thus, we have no way of knowing the number of subscription downloads for each contributor. Based on the reports of a few contributors I believe there may be an average of about 10 subscription downloads for every single image download. Contributors are paid about one-tenth as much for each subscription download as they are paid for a single image download.



Note: The number in Column “F” is the maximum possible downloads in the 12 months, but the actual number could be much less. Given the way iStock reports downloads the number 20,000 could be anything between 10,000 and 20,000. The number 2000 could be anything between 1,000 and 2,000. Consequently, actual downloads could be quite a bit less lowering the average number of downloads per image in the collection.

Note: The total images in the collection for this group is 2,772,856, but I suspect the iStock collection as a whole is close to 30 million images. A small percentage of the images are the ones in most demand.



Chart


Column “A” is the country where they live; “B” is the year they started contributing; “C” is Exclusive of Non-exclusive; “D” indicates whether they create Illustration, Photography or both (PI); “E” is creator’s name; “F” is the maximum possible downloads between July 1, 2015 and July 1, 2016; “H” is the total images they had in the collection as of July 1, 2016.

“I” is the average number of downloads they had per image in the collection in the year.

To see the images in the collections of any of these creators go to iStock (www.istock.com ) and enter the creators name in the search box.
