Shutterstock Studios Reviews & Provider Details

Shutterstock Studios turns creative chaos into calm, confident execution. On a recent AI product launch, we needed authentic visuals of diverse engineers collaborating but stock sites offered clichéd “handshake over laptop” shots. Within days, Studios connected us with a photographer in Bangalore who shot real tech teams in our actual office, matching our brand palette and tone. We got exclusive, high-res images with full legal clearance no licensing surprises later. It felt personal, not transactional. Instead of compromising, we shipped a campaign that truly looked and felt like us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On one project, we needed quick turnarounds for a fast-moving campaign, but Shutterstock Studios’ approval and revision cycles felt slower than expected like waiting 3 to 4 days just for initial concepts. Compared to working directly with a nimble freelance creator I’ve used before, the process felt a bit rigid and less agile. For time-sensitive tech launches, that delay forced us to adjust timelines. It’s great for quality and scale, but not always the best fit when speed is non-negotiable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing as such that I dislike but most of the things are paid Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shutterstock has a volume of relevant photos and images to choose from. Their stock photos give my marketing team professional and high-quality photos we need to utilize on our websites and social media posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My industry mainly focuses on dentistry, dental patients, and procedures. Even though there are photos that showcase various services provided by a dentist, they are limited. This in turn has been tricky in making sure we are not utilizing the same images multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The images look great--and they are generally exactly what you need. I worked for years using free clip art available online. I did the best I could. I was pretty good with Photoshop. But Shutterstock makes my work look so much more professional. And it has so many images--like, everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work mostly with small to medium images, and sometimes Shutterstock only has the vector or the large. I can use Photoshop to fix the large images. Shutterstock does have an editing feature, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to use it. Also, sometimes Shutterstock gives you the images with text, and you are supposed to fix it yourself, but outside of using Photoshop, I haven't been able to use those to suit my needs.

The content management for setting up a website with the ease of adding media with great quality is my favorite Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The templates are cumbersome and not ver customized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the high-resolution photos that Shutterstock has, compared to other sites. What you need to do is to find a key word in order to find the right photo for you. Also, this service is a little cheaper than others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the fact that it does not have the variety that it probably should have for the price you pay. For instance, Adobe has a greater variety of photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I know Shutterstock since I made my first website for my own company. There are several best things about this company, that makes my work to get graphical content very easy. One of the best features of this application is the High quality content which is not available anywhere on the internet. Secondly best feature is the Case studies tab on the website, it help me a lot to get ideas how different companies have used picture and arts to create any product or service.

Although everything is at par when we consider the user experience and User interaction, but one thing which I don't like about the website is- its mandatory portfolio making option just after signing up on the website. It is not a very great expense since no one wants to fill out all things in one go, everyone wants to Rome through the website after signing in and have a look to all the features and services, so I think it'll be good if we can remove that.

The incredibility to share and customize is the best! As we all know that they are among the biggest players of photographers association and so there is no doubt that there service are loved by everyone like me.

And many of the photographers are earning such a good amount that I don't have words that they are getting monetized for there efforts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As such there is nothing to dislike, but still there can be improvement in the UI.

Although the UX is good, but I also think that the scrutiny while the user is logging in or signing ion into the website can make him feel tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love the expertise and high quality of work that this site gave me, and the simple steps that i had to follow. The people who works in this platform i really compromise and do your work so great! Plus, i'm very happy with the coustomization that they have.

I have nothing to complain about this site, i really recommend this service. Maybe you can be more faster on the delivery time but thats all for me.

I would like to see it be used for personal use also. Just because I use it at work I could use it with family too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes is difficult to sort images and the library is so extense. But in the other hand i love that we have that many options. So maybe more tags per image to make the search easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
