**Reviewed by:** Arnaldo A. | Técnico em segurança eletrônica, Security and Investigations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2023

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

Despite not having a website design that matches up with its competitors Dissolve. may have some limitations in areas like Nature Photography. The pricing model can be a bit cumbersome. It is comparable to stock providers. The option to filter by price is particularly useful.

The sluggish support provided to contributors is a drawback. There are instances where no response is received all.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Their top notch stock footage addresses the challenge of finding captivating content. The wide selection of clips they offer allows me to find the shots for any project. This greatly benefits my business by captivating my audiences attention .

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sushant M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2023

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

Using Dissolve was very convenient and easy. The wide library of stock images it contains helped me improve a lot of projects and presentations. The free searching feature helped me make my decision to select Dissolve for my work purposes.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

The design of Dissolve's website is not up to the mark as compared to its competitors. Even though the selection is wide, it lacks good images in certain fields like Nature Photography, considering better images are available on other sites.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dissolve is solving my need for making projects and presentations more immersive with images suitable to the topic. It has helped me in making an impression on my seniors and improved my image among my peers.

  ### 5. Dissolve Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessie K. | Graphic Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

Wide range of free and affordable stock photo/video options

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

Can't think of any issues at the moment.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There is more of a wide range of options for different cultures and backgrounds. I've found a lot of representation with the site.

  ### 6. PSA for future contributors

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

For users, It is adequate. For contributors, the best part is the simple upload process.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

You lose control of your footage the moment it's uploaded. You cannot modify details or delete clips. 

If someone forces a credit card refund on a sale of your clip, Dissolve will pocket any future revenue from your other clips, until it covers the refund amount. In short, contributors are forced to pay for any customer charge-backs.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dissolve support for contributors is severely lacking. Response time is inconsistent. Sometimes days, sometimes weeks, sometimes no response at all. Also help given, or reasons provided for issues can be inconsistent, at least in my experience.

  ### 7. Great visuals, not great pricing

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emily K. | Account Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

I've only used Dissolve for stock images so far, and I love that they seem to feature pictures that are not offered on other stock sites like istock or Adobe. The images offered also have a "raw," realistic quality to them, which aligned really well for our clients that don't want the generic feel of stock images, but don't have in-house creative to pick from. I also like the filters available for choosing images - Dissolve allows users to filter by "shot frame" and "shot type" and this is incredibly helpful when you already have a point of view in mind and you just need to find the stock to fit your vision. It saves a lot of time.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

The formal, business setting stock is a little more limited than other sites, which is understandable since DIssolve seems to focus on more creative content (rather than buttoned-up images). I hate the pricing model - it honestly almost makes it not worth it, especially if you need stock for a piece that requires a lot of images. Their pricing is per image and based on size, which is a total pain because most creative pieces necessitate a larger image size regardless, so a 600px stock isn't going to cut it.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A primary problem we've solved is finding stock that aligns with our client's very particular point of view. Our client is a tech leader and their stock needs to align with the company vision: innovative, simple, and human. We've found that Dissolve stock really seems to fit with these standards, so it makes it easier for us to go through less review rounds when we use Dissolve.

  ### 8. Good stuff, super expensive compared to other options... not sure how much it supports the creators.

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

The footage quality is really good.  Not much bad stuff on there.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

The cost of footage is high compared to other stock providers in the marketplace.

**Recommendations to others considering Dissolve:**

Watch your budget.  Other high-quality options are out there and might benefit the creators just as well if not more.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have searched for assets but the cost ended up being prohibitive and I went with another solution.

  ### 9. Authentic and unique imagery

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

Dissolve is an excellent site for unique imagery. We use Dissolve as a company when looking for photography that doesn't look staged, feels authentic and has different models than the other stock sites. The search and filtering tools work well.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

The prices range pretty drastically, so if you need to keep an eye on a budget, that can be an issue. But overall, it is pretty comparable to other stock photography prices. The filtering by price is a nice feature if you are super dependent on price.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dissolve helps our designs stand out from the crowd because we aren't using the same models and poses as the competition.

  ### 10. Disssolve Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2021

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

Good choice of high quality content. They also have "different" stuff than many other similar websites offer.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

Maybe I wish they had more to choose from, dunno.

**Recommendations to others considering Dissolve:**

If you need DIFFERENT images, go for it!

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting quick images for our needs.

  ### 11. Dissolve Footage Sizzles

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom M. | Principal Multimedia Projects Manager, Integrated Marketing Solutions, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Dissolve?**

Footage from Dissolve is always beautifully shot. I often rely on the footage to help bridge the budget-busters of time, distance, and access. Much of the footage is available with multiple takes that help match tempo, screen direction, movement, and style.

**What do you dislike about Dissolve?**

Footage from Dissolve can be expensive. There are lots of pricing options among available clips, but before building a lightbox be sure to check the price on each individual clip. What I've found is that with a little effort, the Dissolve site has lower-priced footage options.

**Recommendations to others considering Dissolve:**

As a producer, I source stock footage from a variety of sources. Many stock footage providers offer the same footage. I've found Dissolve to offer a range of content unavailable from other providers.

**What problems is Dissolve solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I wish our production crews could be everywhere and shoot everything we need. It's just not possible nor is it cost-justifiable. Seldom do I have a project assignment that we can shoot start to finish and that wouldn't benefit from some additional footage.
