Shutterstock Expands Global Access to its Unlimited Downloads Subscription

Unlimited Images and Unlimited Plus combine curated collections within Shutterstock’s world-class content library with AI-powered creative capabilities

Shutterstock, Inc., a family of brands delivering scalable creative and GenAI solutions to help customers fuel great work, announced the global availability of its Unlimited downloads subscription. Previously only available in beta to select users, customers worldwide can now choose between two subscription plans: Unlimited Images, which includes a curated collection of more than 83 million premium images, and Unlimited Plus, which expands that collection to more than 100 million premium creative assets, including video, music and sound effects. Both plans combine curated Shutterstock content with AI-powered creative capabilities.

As marketers, designers and content creators increasingly blend licensed creative assets with generative AI in their everyday workflows, having an always-on source of high-quality creative content as a starting point helps teams move from concept to creation more efficiently. Unlimited gives customers the flexibility to move from inspiration to licensed content to AI-assisted creation without switching between multiple tools or managing monthly download limits. The result is a more seamless creative experience that makes it easier to explore ideas, iterate more freely and produce high-quality work while keeping human creativity at the center of the creative process.
