Shutterstock (Worldwide) Reviews

“I first came across Shutterstock while searching for royalty-free images for a blog project. It consistently appeared in top search results for stock photos and design resources.

I started using Shutterstock in early 2022 and have been using it regularly for over three years now, both for professional and personal projects. I use Shutterstock at least two to three times a week, especially when working on marketing materials, presentations, and social media campaigns.

The vast library of high-quality images, videos, and vectors is incredibly useful. I also appreciate the search filters, which make it easy to find exactly what I need, and the licensing terms are clear and trustworthy.

But the pricing can be a bit steep for individual users or small businesses, especially if you only need a few assets occasionally. Some of the subscription models lack flexibility.

I would highly recommend Shutterstock to creatives, marketers, and small business owners looking for professional-grade visual content. It’s a reliable, time-saving platform that adds great value to any visual project.

“Shutterstock adalah salah satu media bagi fotografer untuk menjual dan membeli hasil foto kita.

Untuk mendaftar sangat mudah. hanya diperlukan email dan password. Namun kekurangannya adalah untuk review foto yang kita kirim agak sulit untuk langsung diterima. tetapi mereka akan menjelaskan kenapa foto yang kita kirim ditolak.”

“Saya pernah mencoba berusaha menjual foto di aplikasi ini.
Prosesnya mengirim fotonya mudah, hanya perlu memperhatikan kejelasan foto yang dikirim dan memilih kategori foto.
Cuma belum ada yang laku karena foto saya tidak banyak dan mungkin kurang unik.”

“As a designer, of course, you cannot be separated from the needs of images and photos. Shutter Stock is a website that I often use to help my performance. When there is a sudden need, the wishes of clients can also be easily fulfilled using the help of photos available on the Shutter Stock website. But of course the weakness of this website is the costs incurred every month which in my opinion is of less value than other websites.”

“This is the best place you'll find for stocks! See, it's quite hard to find something local. Say the client want to have local kids smiling etc. I never find anything like that except in Shutterstocks!”

“I specifically Shutterstock for the pictures that are to be pasted in my school projects. Shutterstock provides a wide range of high quality images and quite innovative ones too. The Shutterstock logo in the bg of few images is what I don't prefer.”

“I downloaded shutterstock for access to a variety of high quality images that I can use either on my phone or for projects or simply to enlarge and print out. So far the pros & cons are:-
The pros:
- Easy to search per topic or category
- Easy to download the App and to manoeuvre through the App
- You can get both images & videos
- There is quite a number of free images
Cons:
- Images can be pricy.”

“I used shutterstock almost every day. Been using it since 2004 since I learned to use computers. Almost every picture that I searched is found in Shutterstock. Im so glad i found this site. Looking forward for more pictures”

“I followed the request of my graphic designer in my company to register for shutterstock.
And to my amazement, it was one of the best decision I made.
Because I would get better designs on my posters and banners.
As you know Malaysia have a lot of festive seasons, my designers make this posters for each festive seasons that we can send to our clients.
And many of them stated that the poster is beautiful.
I am very glad that I have made the decision to register to shutterstock.”

“I use Shutterstock application as a source of my projects editing where I could find pictures, sceneries or even logo that suits my project. It provides free range varieties of picture which is suitable for students.”
