How do you spell imagery?

I-M-A-G-E-R-Y

Imagery is spelled I-M-A-G-E-R-Y. Keep the e from image and add -ry, which gives you seven letters. It is an uncountable noun, so a set of stock images provides imagery rather than imageries.

Spelling tip

Image plus -ry, so the e stays; imagary and imagry are both wrong.

What it means

Imagery is a collective term for a set of pictures, such as the imagery of a campaign or a brand. Stock images supply imagery quickly when there is no time for a custom shoot.
