Frequently asked questions


What is the difference between Standard and Enhanced Licenses?

The Standard License is designed to work for most creative and usage needs. The Enhanced License offers many more usage rights, allowing you to use images in merchandise, web templates, print templates, and commercial spaces. Please visit our license comparison page for more details.


How do Shutterstock subscription plans work?

Our subscription plans provide the best deal on Standard License images and include access to our full library of royalty-free, high-resolution photos, vectors, and illustrations. By enrolling in a subscription, you will have a download allotment, which resets each month at the end of each billing cycle. With our monthly (no contract) subscription, you can cancel anytime by turning off the auto renewal feature. Our annual subscription requires a 12 month commitment and lets you save as much as 40% compared to the monthly option. Read more about image subscription plans.


How do the mixed-asset FLEX plans differ from other Shutterstock subscriptions?

Our FLEX subscriptions provide individual users with access to images, vectors, video, and music all under one plan. A simple credit system provides an all-in-one solution for your creative needs, making it easy to license different assets without having to buy multiple plans. In addition to individual FLEX plans, we also offer FLEX plans for teams and enterprise customers. Learn more about FLEX plans.


How do credits for FLEX plans work?

With our easy-to-use credit system, every month you get an allotment of credits to spend on a mix of assets. An image costs 1 credit, a video clip 10 credits, and a music track 4 credits.


Should I purchase a subscription plan or an On-Demand pack?

On-Demand packs are best suited for fluctuating image needs. FLEX is the most flexible option, giving you access to a variety of assets with an easy credit system.


How does auto renewal work?

Our auto renewal feature ensures that your subscription or pack automatically renews so you maintain uninterrupted service. On demand packs renew when the last image is downloaded or once the pack expires after a year, whichever comes first. You can easily manage your auto renewal settings on the plans page. Read more about auto renewal.


What is the difference between an Individual and a Team or Enterprise account?

An individual account provides access for only one person to license, download, and use content. If you work on a team or in a company setting, a team subscription or Enterprise account would be the best fit for you. Please contact us and we would be happy to help you find the right plan.


Can I upgrade or downgrade to a different plan?

Ran out of your monthly allotment or need more or less images on a regular basis? We understand things change. You can always contact us and we’ll be happy to help.


Can I cancel my plan if I don’t need it anymore?

For monthly (no contract) subscriptions, you are free to cancel at any time by turning off auto renewal in your plan settings. Since you have already paid for the monthly subscription at the beginning of the billing cycle, you will still be able to use your remaining downloads or credits until the end of your billing cycle. If you need to terminate your Annual (billed monthly) subscription before the end of the 12 month term, you will be subject to a fee equivalent to the savings you received in comparison to the monthly (no contract) rate. Please contact us for assistance with your cancellation or if you have any questions.


Can I get a refund if I cancel my plan?

Generally, Shutterstock does not refund purchases once the payment goes through. We can refund purchases made by European Union customers within the first 14 days, provided you haven’t used any downloads or credits. After 14 days or once a plan is used, it is no longer eligible for a refund. Please refer to our Terms of Service for details.
