Wide selection of stock photos: Many users have praised Shutterstock for its wide selection of stock photos, including high-quality graphics, photos, vector graphics, and illustrations. This extensive library of images allows users to find the perfect visual content for their projects.

Superior search functionality: The filters and search functionality on Shutterstock are highly regarded by users. They appreciate how easy it is to find images that meet their specific requirements. With the ability to apply various search criteria such as age groups or rotation, users can quickly narrow down their options and find the exact image they need.

Helpful customer service: Users have consistently praised the customer service provided by Shutterstock. They have found the support team to be helpful and responsive in addressing any concerns or issues they may have had. This prompt assistance has contributed to a positive user experience on the platform.

Confusing User Interface: Several users have found the user interface on Shutterstock to be confusing and difficult to navigate, making it challenging for them to complete tasks quickly.

Lack of Combined License/Subscription Option: Users have expressed a desire for a combined license/subscription option that would allow them to use credits towards both audio and video footage, instead of having to purchase separate subscriptions. Some users feel that this lack of flexibility results in wasted downloads each month.

Limited Availability of Premium Photography: There is disappointment among users that premium photography, such as Getty images, is not available on Shutterstock. This limitation has led some users to explore other stock photo websites that offer more natural options, although at a higher price point.

Based on the user reviews, there are three common recommendations for Shutterstock:

  1. Utilize monthly subscriptions or annual commitments for access to a large amount of content and better value for money compared to other stock websites.

  2. Explore search features and test filters to refine content viewing and find specific images or illustrations easily.

  3. Improve content quality by removing low-quality and repetitive content from Shutterstock's library. Additionally, enhance integration with marketing tools to enhance the overall user experience.

Overall, users praise Shutterstock for its clean interface, extensive image collection, reasonable pricing, ease of use, and excellent customer service. They also appreciate the flexibility in subscription plans and suggest negotiating prices with account managers.
