Thanks to you, Shutterstock Submitter, it‘s been a productive, fruitful year. At the end of June, our library hit 4 million images. Just two months later, we‘ve hit another major milestone – 60 million images have been downloaded since 2005, reinforcing Shutterstock‘s status as the top online resource for quality, royalty-free images at affordable prices.

As creative professionals, business executives, and entrepreneurs in virtually every industry are turning to Shutterstock for their image needs, we, in turn, consider ourselves very fortunate to have such a talented and creative submitter base to make this possible.

“We have grown tremendously thanks to our worldwide base of talented submitters who provide our customers with an extensive library of premium royalty-free images,” said Jon Oringer, Shutterstock founder and CEO. “We take great pride in developing flexible subscription plans for every budget as well as innovative tools to empower creative professionals.”

Because of your continual, quality submissions, our library now holds over 4.5 million images, with more than 40,000 new images added each week, providing subscribers with a constant stream of fresh new content.

As always, we thank you for allowing us to represent your creative material. Keep those images coming!
