Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 12 - Subsequent Events Acquisition On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement with Motorsport Images LLC and Motorsport.com, Inc., to purchase 100% of the outstanding membership interests in Motorsport Images LLC, a Florida limited liability accompany (“Motorsport Images”) for $15.0 million in cash and approximately 1.2 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The Company incurred $1.1 million of acquisition costs related to the purchase, which were recorded in “Other operating expenses” for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Motorsport Images has an extensive library of historic and contemporary motorsports photos and videos covering major racing events worldwide. With the addition of Motorsport Images’ photographic talent and premium motorsport content, this acquisition augments the Company’s customer offering in the motorsport area, bringing a greater depth and breadth of content and services. Management is currently finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary allocation is expected to be complete for the quarter ending June 30, 2024. The financial results of Motorsport Images will be consolidated beginning on the acquisition date. Debt prepayment On May 3, 2024, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $30.0 million on its outstanding USD term loans. This prepayment was made using cash on hand and did not result in any prepayment penalties. The prepayment will reduce our principal balance and interest expense on the term loan. As of March 31, 2024, the balance outstanding on the term loan facility was $634.4 million.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings and Contingencies	Note 11 - Legal Proceedings and Contingencies The Company has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits filed by former public warrant holders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Alta Partners, LLC v. Getty Images Holdings, Inc., Case No. 1:22-cv-08916 (filed October 19, 2022), and CRCM Institutional Master Fund (BVI) LTD, et al. (together the “Plaintiffs”) v. Getty Images Holdings, Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-01074 (filed February 8, 2023). The Plaintiffs generally allege breaches of the Warrant Agreement, dated August 4, 2020, and alternative claims for violations of the federal securities laws, including claims under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaints seek, among other things, an award of money damages. On February 17, 2023, the Court consolidated the actions for purposes of discovery. The Company filed answers to the complaints, and discovery closed on August 28, 2023. On September 11, 2023, all parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment, which were fully briefed on October 2, 2023. On October 27, 2023, the Court issued its decision on the cross-motions for summary judgment and entered judgment in favor of Plaintiffs on their breach of contract claims in the amount of $36.9 million for Alta Partners, LLC and $51.0 million for the CRCM plaintiffs, plus, in each case, pre-judgment interest of 9% per annum. The Court entered judgment in favor of the Company on all other claims asserted by Plaintiffs. The Company has appealed that portion of the Court’s judgment in favor of Plaintiffs. Alta has cross appealed that portion of the Court’s judgment in favor of the Company. The parties are currently briefing the appeals. Getty Images (US), Inc. is a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Stability AI, Inc. The case, Getty Images (US), Inc. v. Stability AI, Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-00135-GBW (filed February 3, 2023), arises out of the defendant’s alleged unauthorized reproduction of approximately 12 million in images from Getty Images’ websites, along with the accompanying captions and associated metadata, and use of the copied content in connection with Stability AI’s generative artificial intelligence model known as Stable Diffusion. Getty Images (US), Inc. has asserted claims for copyright infringement; removal, alteration and/or falsification of copyright management information; trademark infringement; unfair competition; trademark dilution; and deceptive trade practices. The Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages and injunctive relief. The defendant has not yet responded to the Complaint. On May 2, 2023, the defendants moved to dismiss or, in the alternative, to transfer the case to the Northern District of California. The defendants’ motion is premised on their contention that Stability AI, Ltd. is not subject to personal jurisdiction in Delaware. Getty Images served jurisdictional discovery requests on Defendants on May 12, 2023, and the parties agreed to extend Getty Images (US), Inc.’s time to respond to the motion to dismiss while the parties engage in discovery relating to the defendants’ activities within Delaware and other states in the U.S. On January 26, 2024, the court dismissed the defendants’ motion to dismiss without prejudice with leave to re-file upon the completion of jurisdictional discovery. Arising out of similar alleged facts, Getty Images (US), Inc., Getty Images International U.C., Getty Images (UK) Limited, Getty Images Devco UK Limited and iStockphoto LP are Claimants in proceedings issued in the High Court of England & Wales against Stability AI Limited on January 16, 2023, claim number IL2023-000007, which, together with the Particulars of Claim (the Claimants’ statement of case) were served on the defendant on May 12, 2023. The Claimants assert claims for copyright infringement, infringement of database rights, trademark infringement, passing off and breach of the terms and conditions of the Claimants’ websites and seeks, amongst other things, monetary damages, injunctive relief and legal costs. In June 2023, Stability filed a motion to strike certain portions of the claim and grant summary judgment on Getty Images’ secondary infringement claim. The court conducted a hearing on the issues in October 2023. Following the hearing, the Judge issued an order denying Stability’s motion in its entirety and granted costs to Getty Images. The order became final and public in late January 2024. Stability has requested an appeal against that decision. The case schedule has been set for the next stages of the litigation, including disclosures and any additional changes to the parties' claims or defense. A trial date has been set for June 2025. Although we cannot be certain of the outcome of any litigation or the disposition of any claims, nor the amount of damages and exposure, if any, that we could incur, we currently believe that the final disposition of all existing matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Further, in the ordinary course of our business, we are also subject to periodic threats of lawsuits, investigations and claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain types of agreements that contingently require the Company to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. The nature and terms of these indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. Because management does not believe a material liability is probable, no related liabilities were recorded at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company has open tax audits in various jurisdictions and some of these jurisdictions require taxpayers to pay assessed taxes in advance or at the time of appealing such assessments. One such jurisdiction is Canada, where one of the Company’s subsidiaries, iStockphoto ULC, recently received tax assessments from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) asserting additional tax is due. The position taken by the CRA is related to the transactions between iStockphoto ULC and other affiliates within the Getty Images group for the 2015 Canadian income tax return filed. The Company believes the CRA position lacks merit and intends to appeal and vigorously contest these assessments. As part of the appeal process in Canada, the Company may be required to pay a portion of the assessment amount, which the Company estimates could be up to $17.2 million in 2024. Such required payment is not an admission that the Company believes it is subject to such taxes. The Company believes it is more likely than not it will prevail on appeal, however, if the CRA were to be successful in the appeal process, the Company estimates the maximum potential outcome could be up to $25.1 million.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Getty Images and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The loss on litigation incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, previously included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses,” has been reclassified to its line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain prior year disaggregated revenue amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions	The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on current expected credit losses, which includes consideration of historical losses, existing economic conditions, and analysis of specific older account balances of customer and delegate accounts. Trade receivables are written off when collection efforts have been exhausted.
Minority Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Value	The carrying amount of the minority investments, which is included within “Other long-term assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $9.7 million and $10.0 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company uses the measurement alternative for these equity investments, and their carrying value is reported at cost, adjusted for impairments, or any observable price changes in ordinary transactions with identical or similar investments. Revenue related to content consumed by the minority investees was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-term investments for impairment, which includes an assessment of revenue growth, earnings performance, working capital, and general market conditions. As of March 31, 2024, no adjustments to the carrying values of the Company’s long-term investments were identified as a result of this assessment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures upon adoption.
Revenue	Revenue is derived from licensing rights to use images, video footage, and music delivered digitally online. Digital content licenses are generally purchased on a monthly or annual subscription basis, whereby a customer either pays for a predetermined quantity of content or for access to the Company’s content library that may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, on a transactional basis, whereby a customer pays for individual content licenses at the time of download. Also, a significant portion of revenue is generated through the sale and subsequent use of credits. Various amounts of credits are required to license digital content. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. For digital content licenses, the Company recognizes revenue on its capped subscription-based, credit-based sales and single image licenses when content is downloaded, at which time the license is provided. In addition, management estimates expected unused licenses for capped subscription-based and credit-based products and recognizes the revenue associated with the unused licenses throughout the subscription or credit period. The estimate of unused licenses is based on historical download activity and future changes in the estimate could impact the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s subscription products. For uncapped digital content subscriptions, the Company has determined that access to the existing content library and future digital content updates represent two separate performance obligations. As such, a portion of the total contract consideration related to access to the existing content library is recognized as revenue at the commencement of the contract when control of the content library is transferred. The remaining contractual consideration is recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the contract when updated digital content is transferred to the licensee, in line with when the control of the new content is transferred. Revenue associated with hosted software services is recognized ratably over the term of the license.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill and long-lived assets held and used, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur or if an annual impairment test is required, the Company would evaluate the non-financial assets and liabilities for impairment. If an impairment was to occur, the asset or liability would be recorded at its estimated fair value.
Earnings per Share	Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents to the extent they are not anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock adjusts basic loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Mar. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024 that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable, net, are trade receivables net of reserves for allowances for doubtful accounts totaling $6.4 million as of March 31, 2024, and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company recorded net bad debt expenses of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on current expected credit losses, which includes consideration of historical losses, existing economic conditions, and analysis of specific older account balances of customer and delegate accounts. Trade receivables are written off when collection efforts have been exhausted. Unrealized Foreign Exchange Gains (Loss) - net We recognized foreign exchange gains - net of $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with net losses of $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These changes are primarily driven by fluctuations in the EUR related to our EUR term loans. Minority Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Value The carrying amount of the minority investments, which is included within “Other long-term assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $9.7 million and $10.0 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company uses the measurement alternative for these equity investments, and their carrying value is reported at cost, adjusted for impairments, or any observable price changes in ordinary transactions with identical or similar investments. Revenue related to content consumed by the minority investees was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-term investments for impairment, which includes an assessment of revenue growth, earnings performance, working capital, and general market conditions. As of March 31, 2024, no adjustments to the carrying values of the Company’s long-term investments were identified as a result of this assessment. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures upon adoption.

Note 9 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents to the extent they are not anti-dilutive.

Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock adjusts basic loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, interest rate swaps, and debt. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (cash equivalents and interest rate swaps) and a nonrecurring basis (debts) are categorized in the tables below.

The fair value of the Company’s money market funds is based on quoted active market prices and is determined using the market approach. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts are based on market quotes provided by the counterparty. Quotes by the counterparty are calculated based on observable current rates and forward interest rate curves. The Company recalculates and validates this fair value using publicly available market inputs using the market approach. The fair value of the Company’s Term Loans and Senior Notes are based on market quotes provided by a third-party pricing source.

The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments by level in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2024:


	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

Liabilities:
Term Loans	—		1,088,193		—		1,088,193
Senior Notes	—		299,769		—		299,769

The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments by level in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023:


	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

Liabilities:
Term Loans	—		1,104,237		—		1,104,237
Senior Notes	—		302,250		—		302,250

The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill and long-lived assets held and used, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur or if an annual impairment test is required, the Company would evaluate the non-financial assets and liabilities for impairment. If an impairment was to occur, the asset or liability would be recorded at its estimated fair value.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities.

Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 - Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation Description of the Company Unless otherwise noted, references in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to “Getty Images,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to Getty Images Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Getty Images Holdings, Inc. is a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace that offers a full range of content solutions to meet the needs of customers around the globe, no matter their size. Through Getty Images, iStock, and Unsplash brands, websites, and APIs, the Company serves customers in almost every country. It is one of the first places people turn to discover, purchase, and share powerful visual content from the world’s best photographers and videographers. The Company brings content to media outlets, advertising agencies, and corporations and increasingly serves individual creators and prosumers. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Getty Images and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The loss on litigation incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, previously included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses,” has been reclassified to its line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain prior year disaggregated revenue amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 31, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 10 - Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective rate as prescribed under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Any changes to the estimated annual rate are recorded in the interim period in which the changes occur. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $11.2 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in tax expense compared to the prior year is primarily due to increases in pre-tax income (loss) and a release of valuation allowance in the prior year. The Company’s effective income tax rate is 45.2% and 50.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The most significant drivers of the difference between the 2024 statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate are primarily due to jurisdictions with losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized and foreign withholding tax expense not analogous to pre-tax income.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Note 3 - Revenue

    Revenue is derived from licensing rights to use images, video footage, and music delivered digitally online. Digital content licenses are generally purchased on a monthly or annual subscription basis, whereby a customer either pays for a predetermined quantity of content or for access to the Company’s content library that may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, on a transactional basis, whereby a customer pays for individual content licenses at the time of download. Also, a significant portion of revenue is generated through the sale and subsequent use of credits. Various amounts of credits are required to license digital content.

    The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

    For digital content licenses, the Company recognizes revenue on its capped subscription-based, credit-based sales and single image licenses when content is downloaded, at which time the license is provided. In addition, management estimates expected unused licenses for capped subscription-based and credit-based products and recognizes the revenue associated with the unused licenses throughout the subscription or credit period. The estimate of unused licenses is based

on historical download activity and future changes in the estimate could impact the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s subscription products.

For uncapped digital content subscriptions, the Company has determined that access to the existing content library and future digital content updates represent two separate performance obligations. As such, a portion of the total contract consideration related to access to the existing content library is recognized as revenue at the commencement of the contract when control of the content library is transferred. The remaining contractual consideration is recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the contract when updated digital content is transferred to the licensee, in line with when the control of the new content is transferred.

Revenue associated with hosted software services is recognized ratably over the term of the license.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables provide information about disaggregated revenue by major product line, primary geographic market, and timing of revenue recognition.

Revenue by major product:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2024		2023
Creative	$	138,858	$	146,460
Editorial	79,429		84,661
Other	3,991		4,521
Total Revenue	$	222,278	$	235,642

Revenue by region:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2024		2023
Americas	$	124,408	$	137,206
EMEA	72,915		71,747
APAC	24,955		26,689
Total Revenue	$	222,278	$	235,642

The March 31, 2024 deferred revenue balance will be earned as content is downloaded, services are provided, or upon the expiration of subscription-based products, and nearly all is expected to be earned within the next twelve months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $70.2 million that had been included in deferred revenue as of January 1, 2024.

- Definition

Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer.
