Perplexity just signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Getty Images, one of the world’s leading visual content providers. The deal gives Perplexity rights to display Getty’s creative and editorial images across its AI-powered search engine and discovery tools. This signals a major step for both companies in aligning AI, digital content, and copyright compliance.
With this deal, Perplexity will gain direct access to Getty’s vast archive via API, integrating both stock and editorial photos into its results. Each image surfaced through Perplexity will be accompanied by clear attribution and a source link, hoping to educate users about the legal use of licensed imagery.
Nick Unsworth, Vice President of Strategic Development at Getty Images, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating, “Partnerships such as this support AI platforms to increase the quality and accuracy of information delivered to consumers, ultimately building a more engaging and reliable experience. This agreement paves the way for a productive and collaborative partnership between our companies, where we will work together to improve attribution of our contributors’ work and Getty Images’ high‑quality creative and editorial content will enhance Perplexity’s platform”.
