From phone to payday in 5 simple steps
PressApp is built to be ridiculously simple. No portfolio reviews, no bidding wars, no agents. Just your phone, your shot and a fair share of the sale.
1 — See it. Capture it.
See a celebrity, breaking news event, crime in progress, dramatic weather or anything newsworthy? Get it on camera safely.
2 — Send it through PressApp
Open the app, tap upload, add a one-line description, location and category. The whole thing takes about a minute.
3 — Our editors review it
A real human editor checks every submission. Median review time is 9 minutes during the day.
4 — We sell it for you
We pitch your shot to verified newsrooms, magazines and websites. Exclusives go to one buyer for the highest price.
5 — You get paid
Up to 70% of every sale goes straight to your wallet. Withdraw weekly to your bank or PayPal.

Frequently asked
How much can I earn?expand_more
It depends on the shot. Most accepted submissions earn between £40 and £900. Genuine exclusives — celebrity scoops, breaking news firsts — can earn thousands.
Do I need to be a journalist?expand_more
No. Anyone over 18 with a phone can submit. The best reporters are usually just regular people who happen to be in the right place at the right time.
Do I keep the rights to my photos?expand_more
You retain copyright. We license your media to publishers for a single use. Exclusives revert to you after 30 days.
When do I get paid?expand_more
As soon as a buyer pays for your shot, the money lands in your wallet. You can withdraw any time once the balance is over £10.
What if my shot is not accepted?expand_more
It happens. We'll let you know why so you can do better next time. There's no penalty for rejected uploads.
