The first digital token backed by creative assets
PhotoTokens are a game-changer and provide tremendous value for both photographers and image buyers.

Lifetime access
Download photographs for as long as you hold an active PhotoToken. Each PhotoToken costs NZ$500+GST and provides non-exclusive access to all images, much like an admission ticket to museum or theme park. The number of downloads per year starts at 500, and increases with each yearly renewal as the number of photographs grows in the library.

Not a subscription
Forget about subscriptions! When you buy a PhotoToken, you are paying for lifetime access to our growing image library. Your only ongoing cost is a yearly renewal fee to keep the PT active, which is approximately 10% of the PT price. The bigger the library, the more photographs you can download each year.

Thousands of fresh, authentic images
The PhotoTokens payment option in our library provides any image buyer with an easy, affordable, and fair way to access thousands of fresh, authentic images.
PhotoTokens are an integral component of our FairShare Photography movement.
The underlying purpose of PhotoTokens is to fairly reward photographers, who earn them for uploading high-quality images.
In essence, PhotoTokens make our member-photographers co-creators of the Excio Image Library, which is how it should be given stock image libraries can only exist because of the creative work of photographers.

An easy process
Buying access to photographs with a PhotoToken is easy. Sign-up with your email address and you can buy a PT with your credit card, just as you would when buying anything online.
