Back in 2021 Shutterstock acquired TurboSquid, a 3D object marketplace, along with its offspring PixelSquid. In August 2023 Shutterstock is adding a collection of over 200,000 PixelSquid assets to our image library. PixelSquid assets are 3D objects that can be downloaded as a 2D rendered image in a PNG or PSD format. Curious to learn more about 3D objects on Shutterstock? Check out this article on our customer support site.
All 3D objects offered on Shutterstock will be provided by PixelSquid and we will not be accepting submissions of 3D objects via the Shutterstock contributor site. Shutterstock artists can continue submitting 3D renderings as illustrations.
Although 3D objects can be downloaded in PNG and PSD file formats. we will not be offering these formats for download with any other content types, nor will we accept these file formats for submission to Shutterstock.
