Alamy is a privately owned company based in the UK, a subsidiary of PA Media Group. Founded in 1999 and operating with approximately 580 employees, the company offers a comprehensive content collection of stock images, vectors, and videos.
On September 3, 2026, Alamy confirmed its policy of not accepting AI-generated content on its platform, relying on human checks rather than algorithms for quality control to identify such submissions. Previously, on September 1, 2026, the company implemented significant modifications to its contributor contract, introducing a new tier system that many photographers anticipate will lead to reduced earnings. These changes are expected to slash commission rates for many contributors from 40% to 20%, sparking widespread dissatisfaction among stock photographers.
