Where Stock Images are stored in SharePoint Online
karen_dredske Stock images used in page banner or in image web parts are not stored in site assets library.
These images are hosted on public CDN by Microsoft & displayed using CDN URL.
For example, the image highlighted below is displayed using CDN URL as below:

karen_dredske I was looking for the same thing, did not find the location, but was able to find a hack how to solve it. It requires minimal setup with available tools.
- Search for the stock image and insert it into an Image Web Part
- On the edit bar, select Advanced editing
- Without doing any edits use the Save as copy . This will make a copy of the image in the Asset folder for the page.
- Then under Site Contents > Site Assets > Site Pages you can either find the folder with the page where you added the image.
Now you have several options to access this saved image, e.g. synchronize this folder to your desktop and use the filter function to see images only. Now you can re-use it by either linking to the same image already on SharePoint, or uploading it to this site or another site.
Hope this helps.
