How the IMAGE CATEGORY SEARCH and IMAGE SUPPLIER A-Z work

  • The metadata keywords are used by the IMAGE SUPPLIER A-Z site search to identify your profile.
  • The web categories you select are used to define which category your library will be listed under on the IMAGE CATEGORY SEARCH. When you select your category you allocate a number of points to it. The more points you allocate the higher up your details will appear in the list for that category.

  • The IMAGE SUPPLIER A-Z lists are automatically displayed in alphabetical order.


You will find more detailed instructions in the website manual, which you can download bellow.
