What do you like best about Yay Images?

Lots of pictures and videos at a good price Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

Their subscription and credit card handling are very bad.

I canceled the payment method (credit card), however, the next subscription fee was charged again at the anniversary.

It is very difficult to cancel a subscription.

And if you can sucess cancel, the access to the images will be terminated immediately.

If I cancel in the 2nd month of my annual subscription, I won’t have access to the pictures from that point on, and of course there’s no money back.

Not only is this outrageous, but it is incompatible with any law.

I wrote an email to support and also wrote it through the Contact me page.

The answer is zero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yay Images:

You must use a payment method / credit card for your annual subscription that Yay can only withdraw money from once.

This will make your subscription secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

If you want to get pictures quickly and cheaply, there may be a solution.

And the video (footage) is an extra addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

I am able to find the perfect image for my projects every single time I go to Yay. They are my go-to source for both photo images and vectors. It's easy for me to get lost browsing and enjoying their selection. Most of the images seem to be from vetted pro photographers, which I appreciate. You also get a big size image instead of a tiny web size for each credit. Also greatly appreciated. I also like that I see images on Yay I do not see on my other sites I use every now and them. That adds to keeping the projects fresh and eye catching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

VERY small dislike, I wish I could see more items per page, I am a very quick decider and can browse at lightning speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yay Images:

Give YAY Images a try! They have all you could be looking for in an easy to use interface with lots and lots of great images to select from. Very pleased I discovered Yay Images, it has allowed me to do an even better job with my media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like to have fresh, new images on the website. I change them at least once a month. Yay Images always has new images. I can go back and find ones I needed, plus I can count on new options being added frequently. The benefit would be more appealing websites and happy customers who return. That is a win/win for everyone! Happy customers with more business means I can buy more images! ;-D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

They have a huge collection of over 11 million stock images & vector graphics. The ability to filter my search by "orientation, people, and color" is really convenient. The option to search for an image that matches an existing image from anywhere else is extremely helpful! The navigation is clean and downloads are quick and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

There are plenty of jpegs with clean white backgrounds that can be easily removed, but a png option with no background for the images with isolated subjects would just make this site even more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yay Images:

I would recommend doing a free trial if you are at all skeptical about the service. They occasionally do deals on Appsumo, so if you can snag a bundle offer there, I would jump on it fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are more than a handful of websites that offer free stock images, but finding images that look just as good as something you would find on a major brand like ShutterStock is very unlikely. Yay Images provides a collection of high quality & high-resolution images at a price that is much more accessible than other premium sites! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

With Yayimages, you can filter through millions of vector and stock images for any keywords. It has a variety of Filter options. They offered many freebies / deals as perks with subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

Some of the keywords contain nudity needs to be hidden, blurred or concent should be taken prior. My account section needs to be intuitive and well designed. Live chat option is not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for royalty-free images and videos, which allow you to download them multiple times. Pricing is simple and very much affordable, and easy to opt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

Filters that help me find the right image Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

Sometimes there are so many images to chose from it takes me more time than planned to go through them all. I would like to increase the number of images per page so I can scroll down and not have to flip through pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

Whatever project I have - web or print - I can always find an image on Yay. The color filters and orientation filter helps narrow down choices to find the best image. Yay tends to have more unique images not found on other stock sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

I use multiple stock websites, but find myself frequently returning to Yay Images to garner the best visuals for my blog posts. My team also uses it to create content for our clients. Tons of great options - there’s almost always something I can use based on even the most vague search words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

There are limitations to the type of images you can access. For example, sports images or fitness images. Overall no complaints based on the support and service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yay Images:

My advice to others considering Yay images is to remember quality over quantity. Yay Images is an easy-to-use image library for all of your needs. If you need reliability then its your go to resource for relevant images that you can use for presentations, Zoom call backgrounds, blog posts and even pitch decks. Make it a point to compare it to others in the market and you will see the value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

Marketing content, team process and improvement. Ease of project management steps. At the end of the day it allows you to leverage key assets to tell a vivid story. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

What I liked BEST about Yay Images is the quality of the images that we are able to download with the reasonable pricing that they offer per image. They've recently added Vectors and Videos to their stock offerings so they have been very hard at work since I started using their platform!

I also like their FILTERING system where I can choose the number of people in the stock image, color filter so I can only filter to certain colors (i.e. background of the image, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

Maybe the least liked feature of the platform is that currently I am not able to integrate their stock library into any of my existing Design tools (i.e. Affinity, Adobe, etc.). I would've wanted direct API access to my account or even better, native integrations with Design software.

I am also missing BUNDLES which could be helpful for having a collection of images for a certain genre (i.e. Business, Animals, etc.) and I can get to download all of the images in this collection / bundle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yay Images:

For anyone looking to add more stock sources, do consider using Yay Images with their very reasonable pricing! I have been using other image stock sites and the quality of the images and the search functionalities is way better than most stock sites I have used. There are still improvements to be made on their end as this is still a young platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm usually on the lookout for more sources of stock images for my projects and Yay Images has proven to be one of my newest and reliable source of unique stock!

With the most recent launch of vectors and videos, Yay Images is looking promising for Agencies doing Design and Web Development work for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yay Images?

I can always find what I'm looking for on Yay Images - it's my go-to place for stock images.

The search is easy to use and responsive.

I often find images that are not available elsewhere and that's why I go to Yay Images first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yay Images?

I like everything about Yay Images - it is easy to navigate, and I always find what I'm looking for.

I haven't used the Stock Videos - I think I would need to start a subscription to access these, but I'm not sure.

*Edit I would like to be able to search within one contributor's images - so that if I find a contributor/style that I like, I can search their catalogue without having to scroll through hundreds of images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yay Images solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a solo-entrepreneur, I am my own marketing and branding team. When I first started using stock images, I paid a small fortune for some premium stock photos. This was not a sustainable option at the start-up phase of my business. I then used free stock image providers but found that other people (my competitors) were doing the same. I would often see the same pictures on other people's websites and social media.

When I discovered Yay Images, I was happy to find that they offer images that I have not found anywhere else. They are an accessible solution - providing quality images for an accessible price. I like the fact that you can buy a one-time credit pack - this is how I started using Yay Images. The subscriptions are great value if you are using stock images every month and I may switch to this option in the future. Currently, the credit pack is perfect for me as a small business owner because I do not use a lot of images on a monthly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
