A smaller market with higher standards
Grainfold started with a simple frustration: stock libraries with millions of files where nothing feels quite right. We keep the shelves small and the bar high.
How we work
Every file is reviewed by a working designer
Submissions are judged the way a client would judge them: exposure, composition, editability and whether the file actually solves a brief. Roughly one in five submissions makes it onto the shelves.
- Human review on every photo, vector set and clip — no auto-approved uploads.
- Authors keep the majority of every sale, paid out monthly with full sales reports.
- One plain-English commercial license across the whole market — no tiers, no seat counting.

For authors
Sell where good work stays visible
New files don't drown here. Each shelf is browsable end-to-end, collections are hand-arranged, and every author gets a profile page with their full portfolio and sales history.
