Subscriptions: more possibilities, less restrictions!

Depositphotos has been working to improve its customer service since the very beginning. We want to offer our users more possibilities, and fewer restrictions! This time we have two bits of news to share with you: once understand them, you will be able to take full advantage of our site. A recent change allows our buyers to upgrade their current subscription plans by simply purchasing an additional subscription. Your new subscription will no longer block your previous subscription; instead, the daily limits of your different subscription plans will simply be combined. Both subscriptions will be automatically renewed, independently from one another, until they are canceled by users. This innovation enables our customers to download more images at cost-effective prices.
