01

Files and downloads

01What is the difference between the free download and the HD download?

The free download provides a medium-resolution image for personal use with attribution. The professional download unlocks the HD file and a named proof of licence.

02Why is the image displayed on the site in medium resolution?

The public copy is deliberately limited so you can preview it comfortably without exposing the original HD file. The source file remains protected until a professional licence is acquired.

03Can I try an image before buying the HD version?

Yes. Download the medium-resolution version free of charge to check the crop and placement in a personal mock-up. Any professional publication then requires the HD licence.

04How should I credit a free image?

Use the photographer or studio name shown on the image page, followed by “My Fauna Pics”, and link to the image page whenever the medium allows it.

05Where can I find a professional image I have already unlocked?

Purchased images appear under “My images” in your account. You can download the HD file again and retrieve its proof of licence there.

02

Credits and account

06How does one credit work?

One credit unlocks one high-definition image under the professional licence. Your balance is charged only when the HD unlock is confirmed.

07Do credits expire?

No. Purchased credits remain attached to your account until you use them.

08Does downloading the same image again use another credit?

No. An image you have already acquired remains in your library. Further downloads of that image do not use another credit.

09Where can I check my balance?

Your balance and transaction history are available under “My credits” in your account.

10Do I need an account?

Yes for professional downloads. Your account keeps your credits, purchased images, orders and licence records together.

03

Professional licence

11What does the professional licence cover?

It allows you to use the HD image on websites, social media, presentations, publications and communication campaigns. You may not resell the standalone file or submit it to another image library.

12Can I use an image for a client?

Yes. You may include it in a finished project created for a client. The source file must not be handed over for independent reuse or redistribution.

13Can I crop, retouch or add text?

Yes. Cropping, colour adjustments, layouts and text overlays are allowed within the licensed project, provided the image itself is not resold or redistributed.

14Is the licence exclusive?

No. Images are licensed on a non-exclusive basis and may be used by more than one customer.

15Which uses are prohibited?

You may not resell or share the source file, add it to another image library, make it the main value of a product for resale, or use it in an unlawful, defamatory or misleading context.

04

Payment, invoices and support

16How is VAT handled?

Prices are displayed including tax. The applicable rate and final amount are adjusted to the billing country in accordance with current rules.

17Where can I find my invoice?

Your invoice and order details are available in your account and in the confirmation email sent after payment.

18How can I prove that I purchased an image?

Every professional unlock creates a licence record linked to your account. It identifies the licence holder, the image and the acquisition date.

19What should I do if payment succeeds but my credits do not appear?

First refresh “My credits” and check the order status. If the balance is still unchanged, contact us with the order number shown in your confirmation email.

20How can I get help?

Use the contact address in the legal notice. Include your account email, order number and the name of the image concerned so we can assist you quickly.

This FAQ summarises the main rules. The terms and conditions and the professional licence remain the reference documents.
