Stock illustration frequently asked questions

What are stock illustrations? 

Stock illustrations refer to graphics and artwork that's available for licensing from stock image websites or platforms. On Alamy we have thousands of illustrations available for you to license.

What is the difference between stock illustrations and stock vectors?
