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.
Shuttershock's brand portfolio includes Bigstock, Offset, PremiumBeat, Rex Features, and Shutterstock Customer, adding hundreds of thousands of images weekly. It has also expanded into generative AI, fairly licensing artists' work for AI-generated content. And in 2026, the company announced a huge proposed merger of equals with Getty Images, receiving US regulatory clearance and positioning the combined company for greater scale, financial strength, and long-term innovation.
