Shutterstock is one of the most familiar stock photos, videos, vectors, and illustrations sites that have existed over the years. It is frequently used by designers, marketers, bloggers, and publishers to find quality visuals within a short period of time. But due to increasing costs, licensing restrictions, and the wish to have other forms of creative properties, numerous creators have turned to other platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, a number of stock media marketplaces have the same -and even better- features. Some of them are about cheapness, others about the free content, and others offer specialized services such as vectors or editorial images<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The five best alternatives to Shutterstock that are commonly used by creators are listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Vecteezy<\/b><\/h2>\n

Vecteezy has evolved to be a creative asset library with millions of photos, videos, and design assets, other than being a mere vector marketplace. Previously, the platform was focused on the use of vectors; nowadays, it allows a large variety of assets that can be utilized by designers, marketers, and publishers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pricing model is one of the biggest assets of Vecteezy. The platform has a huge free library (with the requirement to credit) and reasonably priced Pro accounts that unlock millions of other assets and eliminate the obligation to credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The other interesting aspect is its editorial section, where it offers news-like images that may be utilized in journalistic and educational purposes. This feed consists of <\/span>game day images<\/span><\/a> in leading sports leagues, and the most recent activities in entertainment and politics.<\/span><\/p>\n

The editorial photos are also handy when it comes to the publishers and bloggers who require pictures of real life or the familiar individuals that cannot be commercially used in advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n
