Overall Satisfaction with Depositphotos
I use Depositphotos primarily for images and icons used for social media, website, and sales funnel page builds. Many website builders have a limited selection of icons and graphics, so I use Depositphotos for vector images and high-quality stock photos for backgrounds, thumbnails, and page design. The images from Depositphotos tend to be more accurate and less repetitive than in other places.
- Search function is accurate and robust.
- Selection is different from the most used free image sites. The quality of the images is professional and high resolution.
- Their search filtering options are useful to match the type of image you are looking for. Let's you choose the type of person you want in the background, landscape versus isolation, orientation, etc.
- I first found them via a search result that promotes free images from them but when I tried the free search, it usually asks to create an account and then makes it look like payment is needed.
- Hence, there needs to be a clearer distinction between paid versus free. Maybe, a watermark in the thumbnail or something similar.
- Personally, I dislike having too many accounts everywhere. If something is free, I don't understand why I need to create an account to download it. Maybe, there's a customer-focused way to position the account creation as a benefit instead of making it look like a barrier or marketing ploy.
- It's a challenging problem to address but regularly I see images that appear on free image sites. I don't know if someone takes them from Depositphotos and puts them on a free site or vice-versa but it seems odd to pay for an image that appears for free somewhere else.
- Related to this, there are times when the images appear are vectors but they come with specific text that cannot be edited. Maybe, these images shouldn't be allowed on the platform.
- The specificity of the search functionality
- The quality of the images
- The volume package specials which help with cost management
- The biggest impact comes from saving time searching for images due to the accuracy of the keyword search and the quality selection. Rarely do I see images that don't relate to what I search for.
- Cost per download is much lower when 100 images pack are on sale on Appsumo or direct sales. Rather than paying $1+ per image, I have paid as low as $0.30.
- Helped me build sites with images that enhance the message on my pages and projects.
As mentioned previously, I have found that I gravitate to Depositphotos because I end up finding the images I am looking for in a few minutes due to how accurate is the search function. With the other products, I end up losing time because the images seem unrelated, too generic, or commonly used by others.
