Royalty-free images are digital or physical images that can be used multiple times without paying additional fees. Once purchased or obtained under a royalty-free license, they can be used for various purposes without any recurring costs.
Think of royalty-free images as all-you-can-eat buffets at restaurants. You pay once for access to a wide variety of dishes (images) and can enjoy them as many times as you want without having to pay extra each time.
