Need high-quality Catholic imagery for your parish bulletin, social media, or ministry website? Cathopic is the world's largest Catholic stock media platform, offering over 51,600 royalty-free photos, videos, vector graphics, artwork, and AI-generated images — all created by and for Catholics.^1
Founded in 2017 by Dimitri Conejo Sanz, a UX/UI designer inspired to fill the gap in authentic, beautiful Catholic visual content, Cathopic has grown into a global community of over 2,300 Catholic creators across 159 countries.^2 The platform serves more than 103,000 registered users, including 174+ dioceses, and partners with organizations like the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, St. Paul Center, and Christendom College.^1
Cathopic operates on a subscription model with two tracks — "Only Photos" (45,110+ images) and "All-In-One" (photos, 5,400+ videos, and 1,000+ vectors/illustrations). Plans offer 10 to 350+ downloads per month, with annual billing saving up to 40%. Free weekly photo downloads are also available. Unused downloads roll over, and the platform offers bilingual search in English and Spanish.^3
What sets Cathopic apart is its mission-driven approach: subscriptions directly support Catholic creators — many of whom are religious or consecrated individuals — and fund pastoral work around the world. It's part of Dimconex Media, a broader digital evangelization company that also runs Holydemia (Catholic online courses), Mater Coeli (Marian consecration platform), and Tolkian (Catholic digital magazine).^2
Dimitri's own story powers the platform's mission. Born in Russia to alcoholic parents, he survived a childhood of poverty, hunger, and an orphanage before being adopted by a Spanish family. After years away from God, a powerful reconversion experience led him to dedicate his life and talents to digital evangelization — creating Cathopic to bring the beauty of God to the world through design.^4
