Unsplash+ provides increased choice to supercharge creativity with expanded legal protections

Unsplash, the preeminent free image platform for global creators, announced the launch of Unsplash+, an unlimited subscription providing access to an exclusive high-quality image library, with expanded legal protections for commercial use.

Complementing the existing free Unsplash library of 4.2 million images, the Unsplash+ subscription provides an expanded service to creatives including unique imagery commissioned from the Unsplash community exclusively for Unsplash+ and content from the Getty Images historical archive.

Unsplash search data will be used to identify areas of demand, and new imagery will be commissioned from within the Unsplash contributor community. Unsplash+ subscribers are guaranteed against model and location release, providing extra legal protection for their use in commercial applications.
