There are two ways to enter the required license fee into our system: Manual and MFM. We recommend that customers discuss their licensing practices with our customer service before calculating and entering prices.
Manual
If you select “Manual” as the basis for your calculation, you can simply enter the amount you have calculated according to our suggested licensing practices.
To help us understand how you arrived at the indicated price, please provide a short explanation in the field “How did you calculate this fee?”.
MFM
Professional photographers who are able to calculate fees based on the MFM guidelines—and can provide proof—may use our MFM calculator.
To do so, you need to review the website that used your image without your consent and select the appropriate categories in our app.
Category Selection
In the section “Category Type”, you must differentiate between:
Commercial use (e.g. online shops, company websites), and
Editorial use (e.g. blogs, online magazines)
In the “Category” section, you then specify the type in more detail:
For commercial use, indicate whether it is a standard website or a social media platform.
For editorial use, choose whether the website is an online magazine, a blog, or an informational website.
Once you have entered all required information, confirm your entry by clicking the “Calculate” button. Only then will your settings be saved and your claim can be submitted to us.
