  • Great with some tweaking

    It would be nice to have a more personalised option to receive specific feedback on photos that have been unsuccessful.
  • so pickey on what photos go up

    this app review feature is honestly the worst i have ever seen, i attepted to upload 12 different images and it went from saying a few have grain when i checked literally over the enitire photo and nothing and one of them even mentioned me showing brand logos which i did do but whats even the point of this when you have to scribble out over the original picture just because theres a logo like the entire setup of this app is terrible

  • A waste of my time

    I honestly just regret wasting so much time uploading images just for them not to be approved for things that have absolutely no relevance to the image it’s self. Example: image with a clear and noticeable focal point that is in focus - you can identify details effortlessly with in the image - color correction is on point - composition is fitting for subject - image was not overly compressed or adjusted in post - they will then sit there and not approve it for being out of focus yet every single other sites I have used had no issue with this with the same images. I sell my photography as prints regularly, never once had the issues I’m having with shutterstock. Such a waste of my time. Who ever or what ever does the reviewing process failed miserably and I’m not bothering with it again. Too much work. Found a better option. 👍🏻

  • Glitch

    There currently seems to be a glitch in shutterstock’s system with files approved but still pending and never appearing in our portfolios
  • Waste of time

    I have a professional DSLR and I am a photographer I have been submitting photos since 2 years now and I have tried 1000 of photos they never even accepted one and they give me the reason low quality image 🤣
    Don’t waste your time look outside for something else
  • A handy wee app

    This app is handy for giving you a quick progress check on submission progress. Also to view your acceptance/Rejection rate and funds awaited payment if qualifying.
  • Doesn’t Deserve One Star

    Uploaded great content for nature and outdoors. They rejected them all. Funny thing is I get more compliments on my nature outdoor photos on other platforms than this place.
    It’s been an automatic reject. Like how? Sure my photos are from my phone, and their easy to see. I will be deactivating my account, don’t waste your time on a company that can’t take your photos serious. All the hard work you put in is not worth then saying it needs this and doesn’t have that. Every photo we do is our own art. People that may work for them don’t understand that.

  • Wrong reviews

    Totally irrational and wrong reviews
  • They must have let all there best staff go and kept all the idiots to review the pictures

    This used to get a great site to sell photos, but they seem to only have idiots reviewing photos now. Probably not enough staff left or the only staff left are idiots. Basically I’m using shutterstock for the second time after previously deleting my old account. I’ve tried uploading my old photos from my old account only to have tons and tons of photos rejected that had been previously been accepted on my old account, and not only that made a lot of money too. Seriously think either shutterstock don’t want my photos to sell and earn money, or COVID-19 meant they had to lay off all their best staff, and kept all the idiot Mong’s who are being paid in buttons. Absolutely clown outfit of a company
