"Storyblocks Review"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

It is very easy to find high-quality videos, music and images in Storyblocks. Everything is royalty-free so I don't have to worry about licensing issues. The unlimited downloads with a subscription makes it super helpful. I use it frequently in multiple projects as it is easy to implement. They provide great customer support.

"Storyblocks has ton of variety + high quality"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I’ve been using Storyblocks for nearly a decade (back when they were still called Videoblocks!) and they’ve always been ahead of the game. Their library is packed and only grown bigger and better ever since. The massive VARIETY IS UNMATCHED. I work on video projects across a huge range of industries, and clients often ask for very specific visuals. Nine times out of ten, Storyblocks is the only place I can actually find what I need. And the quality of the clips is consistently top tier, and the platform itself is straightforward and easy to use. Just search, download your format, and go. Info right there about usage rights to easily assure clients.

And the team at Storyblocks has always been open to feedback. They keep pushing to improve, even though they’re already the best in the business. Hands down the #1 source for stock footage online. Highly recommended A++++ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

They have a lot of video templates, but wish they had a little more, but they're always expanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Storyblocks is the ultimate resource for filmmakers"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

Storyblocks has so many high-quality clips that you can find almost anything you need for B-roll or found footage film creation, including green screen footage that you can easily drop into your own videos. The audio clips are great too. You'll find cinematic music, hip hop, country, classical, and every other genre, speed, and clips that include vocals for every mood you're trying to create. Music is always the biggest problem for filmmakers, but Storyblock really does solve it for me. Additionally, there's plenty of sound effects and foley for almost every situation. I have a full subscription that includes still images. I haven't used them extensively, but I have searched for specific items, and the photos are varied and of very high quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

The search engine isn't the best. Sometimes, when I use fewer keywords, I get better results, although not as narrow as I'd like. I have to page through dozens of clips rather than just the ones I'd like to see. I'd like some dropdowns or some better prompts for keyword searches. Although I usually find what I'm looking for, my searches can take a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlining Content Creation With Storyblocks"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

Storyblocks provides an extensive library of high-quality stock videos, images, and audio that I can easily access and integrate into client presentations, campaign materials, and marketing assets / display banners. The platform’s intuitive search and filtering features save me time when sourcing content. It’s especially valuable for quickly creating professional visuals that elevate campaigns and impress clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

While Storyblocks offers a vast library, sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming to sift through so many options to find exactly the right asset. Additionally, although the quality is generally high, some niche or very specific content can be limited, which occasionally requires looking elsewhere to fill gaps in campaigns.

"Praise for Storyblocks"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I've been using Storyblocks for a handful of years. And I am very pleased with them. They have a lot of great assets, in all categories. Plus I love that they do a monthly webinar, that educates their customers on various topics. They seem invested in us improving our work and talents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

Very little. One thing, I would like a way to mark audio, to know I listened to it, and do not like it. It would be a timesaver, when doing another audio search, to see that I already listened to this, and do not like it. (I never remember the titles.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable Stock Media Library with Unlimited Downloads"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

What I like best about Storyblocks is the unlimited download model. Unlike other stock platforms where you pay per item, Storyblocks allows me to download as much content as I need with a subscription. The library has a wide variety of stock videos, audio tracks, templets and images, which makes it perfect for creative projects and marketing contents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

Sometimes I find that very niche or ultra-high-quality footage isn't available compared to bigger platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Get what you see1"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

Storyblocks has been a problem solver for my media classes for the past four years. Each time we needed royalty free music to accompany our project, Storyblocks offered more than one avenue. Storyblocks helped put the imagination back into my students lives. It has definitely been a "life-saver." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

The only possible dislike or change I would make, more versions of the audio choices. For example, with a song, have the full version, a 60 second version, and a 30 second version. My students do not always have access to a editing software for music and when we "cut" it, it may lose something in the translation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
