Passwords must be a combination of letters and numbers

To make sure you continue having the most secure experience possible on Shutterstock, we require that your password meet the following criteria:

  • Be at least 8 characters long

  • Contain a number

  • Contain both upper and lower case letters

  • Contain only these special characters: ! @ # $ % & _ +


Remember that it is NOT secure to share usernames and passwords for different services and websites. Someone who gains access to your username / password from a single leaked source would then have access to your other accounts.
