A popular usage for stock textures in the last 20 years has been texture mapping. Texture mapping is the process in which a texture image is added to the surface of a 3D model or computer graphic. Stock textures have been used in ray tracing, ray casting, the creation of computer games, Photoshop image editing, and more.

Texture mapping applies a stock texture to a computer graphic using vector mathematics. Utilizing UV coordinates, the texture is applied to the surface of a shape, and then corrected for perspective. Multitexturing involves using multiple stock textures simultaneously on a surface. Advanced methods include using stock textures as light maps and bump maps, to provide realistic lighting patterns and complex surfaces, such as rough brick or tree bark.

The speed of the rendering process can be improved by the use of Mipmapping. In Mipmapping, multiple sized verions of the stock texture are saved to reduce the processing time needed to account for the distances from the camera to the object's surface. The process was first explained by Larry Williams in his 1983 paper, Pyramidal Parametrics.

Stock backgrounds have a wide array of uses. Royalty free stock backgrounds have been used as templates for websites and blogs, wallpaper backgrounds for computer operating systems such as Windows and Ubuntu Linux, and for various print and digital graphic designs requiring ample copy space for text. In more recent years, mobile phones have become a frequent user of wallpapers and stock backgrounds. One of the first usages of a computer wallpaper background was in the X Window System in 1985.

Many stock images can be used as both a stock texture and as a wallpaper background. A classic example is this stock photo of an old weathered piece of wood. The even lighting, and the sharpness and high level of detail, allow the image to be easily mapped as a texture to a 3D model or computer surface. The stock photo also makes a great wallpaper or design background due to the very defined, non-distracting subject matter, and the large amount of copy space. Text could potentially be placed anywhere on the background image.
