The Shutterstock content bank is now one of the world's largest and best microstocks, containing millions of downloadable files (over 241 million). In addition to news images and snapshots, Shutterstock also lists videos and music recordings in its content bank.

Moreover, Shutterstock is an essential tool for creators. Indeed, the strength of this storage bank lies in its unwavering commitment to supporting creators by promoting their artistic works. One of Shutterstock's goals is to help transform the world through art. That's why the file storage company is working hard to help professional creators earn a living by exploiting their genius.

In addition, Shutterstock favours collaboration with creators and does everything possible to create opportunities for them to succeed. To this end, it supports the platform's contributors on a daily basis by strengthening the relationship between them and the buyers of digital products (photos, illustrations, videos, images, etc.).

Shutterstock is the ideal platform for contributors to express and distribute their creations. Contributors will find a wide range of creative tools, powerful HD video editing devices and more. In addition, there is a digital painting option to create new content.

Our opinion

Compared to other storage banks, we found Shutterstock to be a very comprehensive and intuitive tool. We found the process of registering, subscribing and downloading the chosen content to be very simple.

The search engine is also not very complicated to use. Just enter the right keywords in the search bar and you will see unused images. We recognise that the Shutterstock image bank is not the cheapest, but we confirm that the photos are of good quality!
