Our honest take
Format is the rate surprise of the photo lane: the official page says 50% of every payment for a year while most roundup listings still quote 30%. That's a stale-trap we get to expose while collecting the better number. Slot it as the portfolio centerpiece of the sell-your-photography stack.

Is Format legit?
Format is a real product from Format with its own checkout — check their current refund terms before buying. Legit ≠ worth it for you, though: weigh the cons above against where you actually are. Our score: 3/5.
Why does Make Money HQ link with affiliate links?
Because it keeps the directory free and independent. The commission comes out of the vendor's side, not your price. We'd rather be transparent and keep your trust — it's the only asset a directory has.
