Track your Shutterstock bills and renewals
Shutterstock runs a licensing marketplace for photos, illustrations, vectors, video and music submitted by contributing artists, who receive a percentage of each licence sold and have been paid over $1 billion since 2003. Developers can search and license the same library, including editorial images, video and sound effects, through a public API with computer-vision and beta generative endpoints. It also owns Pond5, a video marketplace that keeps running under its own brand.
