Posted on 1/31/2018 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (1)

Shutterstock has announced that in its 14-year history it has licensed more than 1 billion royalty free images, videos and music tracks across all of its businesses.

Currently the company has more than 170 million commercial images, 40 million editorial images and 9 million video clips in its collections. Shutterstock now licenses more than 5.5 images every second directly from its website and through innovative API integrations. The company's continued commitment to developing innovative technology and partnerships not only empowers businesses, marketing agencies, media organizations and production companies around the world but also seamlessly embeds into customer’s workflow, wherever that may be.

“Shutterstock’s continued commitment to developing innovative technology, offering an unparalleled customer experience, and providing high-quality content to customers globally has led to unique partnerships providing access to customers directly from the tools they use most often,” said Jon Oringer, founder and CEO of Shutterstock. “Reaching 1 billion licenses signifies the prominent role visual communications plays in media, advertising, and film every day. I look forward to the next decade of technology advancements embedding Shutterstock everywhere, while continuing to enhance our creative platform helping customers best create and communicate their story.”



With the constant developments in the Shutterstock Labs and the release of new Shutterstock tools, the company can assist in the creation of business campaigns, productions, and news coverage. Discover the many tools Shutterstock has created to help your business.
Shutterstock has been a publicly traded company for over five years, and to mark the sale of over 1 billion licenses, Shutterstock will ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, January 31st.
