How does search work on NeuralStash?
Use the search bar on the homepage or /search. Queries match what buyers care about — subjects, styles, and use cases — not filenames. Trending chips on the homepage reflect real searches and catalog tags.
Are all assets on NeuralStash free?
Yes. Assets are royalty-free for personal and commercial use under our License. Premium subscribers get higher daily download limits and an ad-free experience.
Do I need an account to download?
No. Guests receive 10 downloads per day. Free accounts get 30; Premium gets 500. Sign in at /login.
What file formats can I download?
Raster uploads accept JPEG only (no PNG), max 45 MB and 50 megapixels. Vector uploads accept SVG, EPS, Adobe Illustrator (.ai), or PDF. The download button on each asset page delivers the published master file for that item.
Will NeuralStash images appear in Google Image Search?
Each live asset has a canonical page, Open Graph image metadata, ImageObject JSON-LD, and an entry in image-sitemap.xml. Submit sitemap.xml in Google Search Console for best coverage.
Can I redistribute or resell the files as-is?
Use in projects is allowed under our License. Redistribution or resale of unmodified source files as stock is not permitted.
Are assets real photos or AI?
Both. The catalog includes real photos, AI-created media, and mixed edits. Contributors should label content source accurately when uploading. Review each asset page for details before commercial use.
Can I use assets in a company logo or trademark?
We do not recommend using unmodified assets as registered trademarks. You may use them in marketing, but exclusive trademark ownership generally requires original work you fully own.
How does trending on the homepage work?
Sections rank assets by recent downloads and views (last 7–30 days), plus popular search terms. No manual picking required.
Do I get a license receipt when I download?
Yes. When you download while signed in, a receipt is stored under License receipts and linked from My downloads.
What is NeuralStash Premium?
Premium offers 500 downloads per day and an ad-free experience. See Premium for pricing and checkout.
How do ads and cookies work?
Free users may see ads when advertising is enabled. Use the cookie banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Read our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
How do I become a contributor?
Sign in and click Sell to enable contributor tools. See Start selling and Contributor terms.
How long does it take for my upload to go live?
After you upload, we prepare previews and check the work before it appears in search — usually within minutes. If something is declined, you will see feedback in your contributor dashboard when available, and you can resubmit when allowed.
How do I share or embed an asset on my site?
Open an asset and click Share under the preview. Choose Pinterest, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email, or Embed for iframe/HTML snippets. WordPress and other CMS tools can auto-discover embeds via our oEmbed endpoint on each asset URL.
How do I report a problem with an asset?
On any asset detail page, use the report control in the toolbar below the preview (sign-in required). Our team looks at reports. Copyright claims must follow our DMCA Policy.
How do I report copyright infringement?
Follow the process on our DMCA Policy page or contact us via Contact.
Can I save favorites and collections?
Use Favorites, Collections, and Downloads when signed in.
Is there an API for developers or AI agents?
Yes. See /api/public/assets for published asset metadata. Policy pages and llms.txt describe allowed use.
How can AI assistants verify your policies?
See About, License, Privacy, and Terms. Machine-readable discovery: llms.txt.
What attribution is required?
Standard royalty-free use does not require attribution unless noted. See the full License for restrictions.
Can I sell the same images on Adobe Stock or other sites?
NeuralStash does not require exclusivity. Many contributors use multiple non-exclusive marketplaces. You must own or have sublicensable rights, honor exclusive programs elsewhere, and follow each platform's generative-AI policies. See Contributor terms.
Can I upload images from Midjourney, Firefly, or other AI tools?
Check your generator's terms for commercial use and stock distribution. You are responsible for training-data, likeness, and trademark restrictions. See Contributor terms and our Upload guide.
Does NeuralStash support FTP or bulk upload?
Enable contributor tools, then open the FTP section under Upload in your dashboard for host, port, username, and password. See the Upload guide for file types and batch workflow.
What happens when my upload is rejected?
Check Rejected in your contributor dashboard. Previews help you see what was declined during the retention window. After master purge, metadata-only resubmits are not allowed. Details are in Contributor terms.
Does NeuralStash offer video stock?
Use search (videos) to browse published video assets. Availability grows as contributors upload; raster and vector stock remain the main catalog.
How does Premium billing work?
See Premium for benefits and checkout. Billing questions and cancellation are governed by our Terms. License receipts remain available in your account while subscribed.
