Frequently asked questions
Plain answers for contributors and people requesting a photo.
Do I need to be a professional photographer?
No. You can submit one photo without a portfolio or professional profile.
Can I submit a phone photo?
Yes. The photo needs to be clear, large enough and accurately described.
Which countries are covered?
PhotoSale currently begins with Australia, Lithuania and Latvia. Other countries may be added later.
Do I keep copyright?
Yes. You keep the copyright. PhotoSale needs limited permission to process and display an approved listing, but it does not take ownership.
Who gives somebody permission to use my photo?
You do. PhotoSale sends the request to you and records the conditions both sides accept.
Can I contribute to LithuaniaLinks or LatviaLinks?
Yes, when the named guide is accepting submissions. An unpaid guide contribution is separate from paid-use requests.
Will I be paid?
Payment is possible when somebody makes a paid-use request and you agree to an amount. Uploading does not guarantee a request or payment.
Does PhotoSale charge a fee?
PhotoSale does not currently process payments or deduct a platform fee.
Do you accept AI-generated images?
No. Normal crop, exposure and colour corrections are acceptable when they do not misrepresent the scene.
Can I submit photos containing children?
No. PhotoSale does not currently accept photographs containing identifiable minors.
What happens to GPS information?
Precise GPS coordinates and device-identifying metadata are not included in public previews or approved delivery files.
How long does review take?
Every submission is reviewed manually. Timing depends on the number and complexity of submissions.
