Shutterstock - Customers

Customers

Shutterstock sells stock photos, stock vector graphics made in programs like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand, and stock raster illustrations created in 3d graphics programs or bitmap editors like Adobe Photoshop. Customers of stock imagery tend to be businesses, marketing agencies or media organizations.

Customers may purchase either a 25-A-Day subscription and download up to 25 images per day (750 per month) in monthly increments, or purchase an On Demand package and choose a set amount of downloads to be used any time within a year. Subscribers may continue to use images even after their membership has expired. However, a subscriber can not stockpile, download, or otherwise store Images not used within six (6) months of the expiration of the subscription for a personal, commercial or a clients project under which you downloaded the Image. If the subscriber fails to use an Image within such six (6) month period, they lose all rights to use that Image. As of February 2009, the fee for a 25-A-Day subscription began at $249 per month.
