Image Licensing

Purchasing a license for one of our images gives you the ability to reproduce that image (usually only one time, and for a certain period of time) in a publication such as a book, newspaper or trade magazine. This is a great tool for businesses or individuals hoping to use the unique sophistication and vast selection of New Yorker images that we offer to their advantage. Before you purchase a license to use an image, you will be asked to accept an agreement that confirms you will use the image only for the purpose stated.  Your license is good for only one purpose and a one-time use. To use the image for another purpose, you must purchase a separate license.  Please see below for further detail on specific uses.


Licensing for Use in an Electronic Presentation (PowerPoint)

When you select “Presentation Use (PowerPoint)” from our list of licensing options, you are purchasing only the ability to reproduce a cartoon in one electronic presentation, created with Microsoft PowerPoint or a similar presentation tool, or created for use on an overhead projector. It can be a presentation for business, educational, or personal use, and you may display the presentation in its original electronic format for up to one year from the date of your purchase.


If you’d like to circulate up to 500 print copies of your presentation, you will be given the option to do so for an additional $45 on the “Set Image License Settings” page, after you’ve added the use to your cart.


Purchasing an image for electronic presentation use does not entitle you to use the cartoon in the following other mediums: Web pages, e-mails, newsletters, books, brochures, handouts/fliers, or any other use not specified that does not adhere strictly to the criteria listed in the first two paragraphs of this answer.


If you have “Presentation Use (PowerPoint)” in your cart, you’ll be asked to read a license agreement stating these and other terms and conditions of your use, then check a box indicating your acceptance of these terms, prior to checkout.
