Founder – Muzammil Graphic | Interior and Graphic Designer | Transforming Spaces and Brands Visually Graphic Design Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/7/2026 "Storyblocks Makes Finding Quality Visual Assets Fast and Easy" 5/5 What do you like best about Storyblocks? I like Storyblocks because it makes finding quality visual assets much easier. As a designer, I often need stock videos, background music, and creative elements for presentations, social media content, and client projects. The search filters are simple, and I can quickly find suitable assets without spending hours on multiple websites. The variety of content helps me create more polished and professional-looking designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Storyblocks? The library is good, but sometimes finding a very specific niche clip takes a little more time because there can be many similar results. I would also like to see more unique design elements and more frequent updates in some categories. Apart from that, the platform works smoothly for regular creative work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Storyblocks solving and how is that benefiting you? Storyblocks solves the problem of finding reliable and professional-quality assets for creative projects. Earlier, I had to search across different platforms to collect videos, audio, and graphics, which was time-consuming. Now I can find most of the resources in one place, which saves time, improves my workflow, and helps me deliver better content for clients and marketing projects.

Senior product Engineer Architecture & Planning Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/26/2026 "Makes Technical Presentations More Engaging" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Storyblocks? In our workflow, we prepare product concept presentations, training materials, and internal project updates where technical drawings alone are not enough. Storyblocks helps me quickly find professional stock videos, industrial visuals, icons, and background music that make these presentations more engaging. I especially like the clean search experience and the wide range of royalty-free assets, which saves me from searching across multiple websites. I mainly use it during project documentation and presentation work, and it helps me deliver polished content with much less effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Storyblocks solving and how is that benefiting you? Storyblocks solves the challenge of finding high-quality visuals for product-related presentations and training materials without spending hours searching across different websites. As a Product Engineer, I use it to add relevant stock videos, images, and motion graphics that help explain product concepts, manufacturing processes, and design ideas more clearly.

Media Production Leader Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/3/2022 "True partner with growing assets" 5/5 What do you like best about Storyblocks? Our team started using Storyblocks when our productions were really limited by the pandemic, and it has happily become a regular part of our workflow. With team access and plenty of options, we’re able to pull music, footage, images, and AE templates that genuinely support our productions. The content they offer is outstanding, and we’ve used their music and footage to keep our clients happy while producing outstanding content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Storyblocks? They do a great job keeping up with footage and our needs, but I’d really like to see them expand their library of assets and elements that can add extra zip to the work we’re already doing. More animated lines, background textures, and other elements to support the production workflow would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Storyblocks: There are lots of ways to purchase b-roll and stock content, check the library and make sure it has what you commonly search for. We have loved our storyblocks subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Storyblocks solving and how is that benefiting you? I just finished a project that needed something to cover a few edits, and I was able to fill in the video with footage from Storyblocks. It made it easy to take what would have been a project that was kind of hard to watch and turn it into something outstanding. I used images, b-roll, and music to really enhance the final outcome.

What I like best about Storyblocks is that it is very easy to use and I can quickly find photos and video clips for my work. In my daily routine I handle diet guidance, manage a homeopathy clinic and also create health education content, so I need simple visuals to explain things. I use it regularly to get healthy food and lifestyle images which I add in my videos and teaching content. It saves my time because I dont have to search on many websites. Features are simple but useful and it also fits easily with my editing work. Overall it helps me make my content more clear and better for patients and students without making things complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Storyblocks? Sometimes it takes a little time to find the exact type of image or clip I need, especially when I am searching for very specific diet or medical related visuals. Results are good, but I have to scroll a bit more to get the most suitable one. some clips feel a bit similar, so I need to spend some time selecting the best one for my content. Apart from this, it works well for my daily work and I did not face any major problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MK Michael J K. Senior Multimedia Producer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/13/2026 "Easy Asset Search, Dynamic Templates, and a Smooth Workflow" 5/5 What do you like best about Storyblocks? Storyblocks has such a great interface that makes it easy to search assets. There's a plethora of options. My favorite to use are the templates. They allow me create quickly when I need something dynamic. It has an array of template options that I can use with After Effects and Premiere. The folders always come with tutorials and examples video that are super helpful. The audio future that allows you to search by many different factors, such as duration, moods and genres, is a great way to narrow my search. Downloading is easy, and over all workflow is great. I can implement the assets easily within my projects, because all the files integrated with my Adobe Suite. We use it on average a weekly to monthly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Storyblocks? I honestly can't say I have any issues with the platform. Ive never had any technical issues. My team has been using it for more than 4 years. I don't think I've ver had to speak with customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Storyblocks solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest problem it solves is the speed on which I can get projects that require dynamic visuals done. Not having to go out and shoot B-Roll and having many options at hand is helpful. It aids in being a one stop location to get assets I need within my projects, and the speed helps because I work with multiple projects on my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the variety and selection of video clips, and I also appreciate how they’re compressed while still maintaining high quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Storyblocks? Maybe they should include some AI video creation on every plan tier so users can try it out, especially when there are custom B-roll requests. Right now, the AI function feels very limiting, and it pushes users to use other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Storyblocks doesn't use AI footage and is all human-made, which is really important to me. The stock footage is a lifeline for my educational videos, making my channel much more engaging and captivating for viewers. It's essential for my work as an independent producer and educator. The setup was literally the easiest I've ever had, blowing others out of the water. I also had a great experience with customer service, especially with Harry, who was awesome.
