Overall Satisfaction with Shutterstock

We use Shutterstock for SVG and JPEG assets for Graphic design, email blasts, website development, and more. Shutterstock's robust catalog is immensely helpful to my team, enabling us to maintain high-quality, high-resolution assets across all our marketing channels. I love this program as it has gotten me out of a creative jam more times than I would like to admit.

Pros

  • Stock Imagery
  • SVG and Vector Assets
  • Video Footage

Cons

  • Video assets included in base subscription
  • AI Ability to make content that they do not have
  • Content management
  • Keeps workflow going
  • Prevents needing to schedule costly asset captures
  • Easy button to have quality images
Shutterstock is easy to use. The UI is intuitive. Queries produce applicable assets. My only major gripe with the program is that there are sometimes "preimum assets" that are in queries that I wish there was a way to filter those out as they do not come with my subscription
Shutterstock is less expensive than others but also has a larger image catalog. I have been able to find things in my niche for my websites and designs. Shutterstock is a well-known brand for stock photos and footage, so there is also the safety that comes with its recognition, which they've earned over time.

Shutterstock is a great place to start when you hit a roadblock. Shutterstock has good photos and videos that are easily findable with a basic query. If you are a graphic designer, website developer, or someone in media, having a Shutterstock subscription is incredibly helpful. Just make sure you use all your photos each month or you lose them.
