“Royalty Free” is a type of license used to sell stock images. This license type grants the buyer a determined set of rights to use the image in multiple ways, for a flat, one-time fee. This means you pay for the license only once, and you can use it forever within the accepted ways, without any further payment obligations.
A royalty free license gives the buyer the rights to use the photos, but it does not transfer the copyright or the ownership of the images.
