Clipchamp cooperates with high-quality stock media providers to offer thousands of stock videos, graphics, images, audio, GIFs, and backgrounds. This article focuses on stock images.

Some stock assets are free for all users, some require a premium Clipchamp subscription for access.

Many assets are included in the Microsoft 365 personal/family plan. All assets are included in the standalone Clipchamp premium plan.

When you're on a license plan that includes access to stock media, you are allowed to incorporate stock video, image and audio assets in videos that you save from Clipchamp. This includes both projects that you create for commercial and non-commercial purposes.

However, you may not download and redistribute the individual underlying stock files, use them in other editing programs, or share or sell them.
