Our take
Shutterstock is a global leader in licensed images, videos, and music, serving creative professionals like designers, filmmakers, and marketers. Content creators upload their work, which is then used by businesses and media organizations in various projects. It's a two-sided marketplace that fuels creativity worldwide.
Shutterstock offers a variety of plans for individuals, teams, and enterprise customers as well as creative editing and collaboration capabilities. Their aim is to build sophisticated tools to help the world experience images and videos in a more beautiful way - they believe that the harmonious union of design and technology can influence global communication.
Shutterstock's brand portfolio includes Bigstock, Offset, PremiumBeat, Rex Features, and Shutterstock Custom, adding hundreds of thousands of images weekly. More recently it introduced generative AI and fairly licenses artists' work for their AI-generated content, unlike competitors. This ethical approach bodes well for the company, positioning it well for future growth and innovation.
