Shutterstock: The Ultimate Resource for Creatives of All Types

Shutterstock is one of the most popular stock photo websites in the world and for good reason. They offer an enormous selection of high-quality images, videos, and music, all of which are royalty-free. This means that you can use them in your projects without having to worry about paying any additional fees.One thing that I love most about Shutterstock is its search engine. It's incredibly powerful and easy to use, and it makes it a breeze to find the perfect image for your project. You can search by keyword, color, or even by the mood or emotion that you're looking for.Another great thing about Shutterstock is their pricing. They offer a variety of subscription plans to fit different budgets, and you can even get a free trial to test out the service before you commit.Overall, I highly recommend Shutterstock to anyone who needs high-quality stock photos, videos, or music. They have a vast selection of content, their search engine is powerful, and their pricing is very reasonable.

PROS

Enormous selection of high-quality images, videos, and music, a Powerful search engine, Royalty-free content, a variety of subscription plans to fit different budgets, and a free trial available.

CONS

Reason for choosing Shutterstock Editor

Beginner to Professional level

As a professional photographer myself, I admire the quality that Shutterstock provides in both the photo library and the editing tools. I utilize most of the tools available but smart resize has helped me the most. I save a lot of time when sharing to multiple social media pages and I don't lose any quality in my photos. Multiple pages help me when I want to compare side by side before downloading or publishing. I would recommend giving Shutterstock editor a try!

PROS

Shutterstock showcases thousands of quality photos. On my personal list I rank shutterstock #1 in image libraries. Shutterstock editor is available for free, edit your own photos, or photos from Shutterstock. You'll be able to create or edit images in multiple formats including PNG (allows background to be absent). PDF vector support prevents distortion when scaling an image for print. Choose your canvas size, background color, and transparency. Add and personalize text, icons or elements, and photos. The photo editing tools are very easy to use even for beginners. Shutterstock editor allows shadow enhancement which is often left out in other free editors. Unique templates are available to save time or give inspiration. If you're sharing your images to multiple platforms or just want multiple versions, the smart resize tool can save a lot of time. Once you've completed a design or edit, your work can be saved for easy access or later use.

CONS

Shutterstock editor is only available to desktop users and some laptops, not very convenient. If you don't have a Shutterstock subscription the watermarks will remain on any Shutterstock photos you use in the editor. Some templates require a subscription as well. The faunt and icon libraries are okay but not the best. There's no option to search for icons with keywords or tags. The editing dashboard is different than what I'm used to so it took some time to get used to.

Reason for choosing Shutterstock Editor

Canva didn't have as many photo editing tools and was more centered around graphic design. I did later start using canva as well though.

Reasons for switching to Shutterstock Editor

After subscribing to shutterstock it was more convenient to use their editor and I liked Shutterstock editor more.

Very Basic Editor

I tried using it at multiple times but i did not have any luck and ended up using the old trusted softwares

PROS

Its a fast and easy tool for beginners, who are looking for a quick way to get things done easily online

CONS

It's a very basic editor with few options to choose from and cannot at all compete with tools like Illustrator and Photoshop. You can probably only use it for web graphics, but cannot be used at all for print.

Hands down best photo library

Have you ever searched for an image and found the perfect one but it's watermarked with "Shutterstock"? Probably so. It's happened to me on more occasions than I can count, so I bought a subscription.

PROS

Nobody is going to beat their photo library. Shutterstock Editor is crammed full of features that make advertising and marketing easy for business owners. Any hobbyist photographer would love it as well. Premium photo and video editing are the foundation, while 3D modeling and animated elements are perhaps the coolest features.

CONS

Customer support wasn't what I expected for a fancy name like Shutterstock, however it was better than many I've dealt with. The reason I had reached out to them was to get clarity on how some features work, the interface can be a little tricky.

Reasons for switching to Shutterstock Editor

Pixlr wasn't costing me a dime, however it wasn't very fruitful either.

Good editor

I used shutterstock editor for our performance flyers with dates and locations and photos of us. I loved them and loved using Shutterstock editor.

PROS

I love that it comes with templates for social media posts and printables like flyers or banners. Shutterstock has a large selection of images to work with and the editor to personalize them.

CONS

I want the subscription cost to use Shutterstock images lowered. Since other images can't be used or imported it's really not useful without Shutterstock images.

Shutterstock has incredible image collection that can thrive any content. It's hot damn like a gold rush right now. It has several coupon codes to save you a ton of money.

Shutterstock has high resolution photography and stock images. I transformed my video engagement using their ultra perfect watermarks for my Youtube videos. It has very strong global presence and royalty free images.

CONS

Customer service is not as perfect as the product.

Unleash the power of the Shutterstock library into your designs

It's a very powerful tool to create greeting cards, basic social media ads, and other simple designs in no time. It's really easy to use and you can have your design ready in a matter of minutes. You can keep your design, copy it, or modify it. Very good start to become a powerful Canva competitor.

PROS

An easy to use drag and drop editor that lets you create designs from facebook posts to catalogues and greeting cards. The Shutterstock Editor is a powerful tool that you can use if you have a shutterstock image plan.

CONS

You can't upload your own images to be used in the editor, you need to rely on the Shutterstock library. The template library is just getting started, right now it feels a little limited, but it keeps growing every day adding new templates.

Great for creating ads quickly

It's great for beginners! If you already have a paid Shutterstock account, you are not losing anything!

PROS

Simplicity. It's a great product for small marketing teams that need to create a lot of ad content for social media fast and without much effort. Pick a template, customise it and export it. You can add text, make it your own, drag icons and elements, and choose the images that go best with your post. The design editing tools are very easy to use! Great for beginners.

CONS

Not being able to upload your own images is a bit of a pushback. Some templates and all images require a subscription, which makes playing around with it before committing a bit uncomfortable (you're not really able to see what you're creating when you have watermarks in the middle and can choose some templates).

Easy to use editor

PROS

Great for downloading stock images to use for marketing purposes including email marketing campaigns. The image library is good for accessing previously downloaded images for reusing.

CONS

Can be expensive if you are not on a plan. However I was on 10 downloads a month which is good value but i rarely got anywhere close to using that.

Gran herramienta para trabajar imágenes

PROS

Buena plataforma para editar imágenes de todo tipo: jpg, png, vectores, etc. Es sencilla de utilizar. Sirve para modificar las medidas de las imágenes, su calidad, aplicar filtros y otras funciones. Siempre que descargo una imagen de la plataforma, utilizo el editor para adaptarla a mis necesidades. Es una manera rápida y útil de trabajar.

CONS

Como es un editor online, necesitas tener conexión a internet para poder utilizar esta herramienta. Y otra contra es que muchas veces la descarga de la imagen final se torna un poco lenta y debes esperar. Salvando eso, es una excelente opción para aquellos que no somos diseñadores gráficos.

Muy buena herramienta de edición de imágenes

PROS

Es un excelente software para editar imágenes y fotos de manera online. Es fácil de manejar, posee una plataforma bastante intuitiva. La utilicé en varias oportunidades, y me pareció una buena opción hasta para aquellos que no tienen conocimientos de diseño gráfico. Podes editar el tamaño de la imagen, colores, colocar efectos, entre otras opciones, y armar tus propios diseños. Recomiendo su uso.

CONS

Si bien es una herramienta sumamente práctica, al ser online, es necesario tener sí o sí conexión a internet, ya que, caso contrario, la misma no funcionaría. Otra contra es que, de momento, solo puedes utilizar el editor en tu computadora de escritorio, no se encuentra habilitado aún para utilizar en el smartphone.

La qualità e l'archivio di immagini di Shutterstock è indiscutibile....l'aggiunta di questo editor è un'ottima idea per chi non ha bisogno di grosse modifiche alle immagini.

Nel complesso, dato il costo delle singole immagini o dell'abbonamento mensile, è un buon prodotto per chi non ha bisogno di grandi cose

Not good for ShutterStock but adequate.

I started using it for some images in ShutterStock, but it would have been if it wasn't.

PROS

Honestly I tried using it to edit some images I uploaded or to edit images for niche websites right away, it's ideal for doing very simple things but I think ShutterStock can do better.

CONS

First of all, the interfaces are really inadequate, I don't know why I use it as a function and it exists there. It's just a snapshot and an incapable choice. Better is needed.
