"High-Quality Images That Match My Search Terms Every Time"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iStock?

The pictures are very good. The images I look for when creating trade marketing materials or designing brochures, flyers, and website graphics are usually higher quality and fit my search terms better than what I find on other free websites. It’s also easy to sign in and track my searches, so I can quickly find images I viewed previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iStock?

Honestly, I don’t love that I have to pay for it. It’s a bit of a hassle having to pay just to download a stack of 10 images, although I understand that the photographers and image creators need to be compensated too. That said, it isn’t overly expensive, but it’s still something I have to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iStock solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this to find the right, high-quality pictures and graphics for trade marketing materials. It saves me a lot of time because I don’t have to search all over the internet for license-free material that actually matches the look I’m going for. I also don’t always want to use AI-generated images; real images have a different quality to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
