Shutterstock AI

What is Shutterstock AI?

Shutterstock AI combines the reliability of the world's largest commercial stock photo library with cutting-edge AI image generation. Built on a partnership with OpenAI and trained on Shutterstock's own licensed library of over 700 million images, the AI generator produces commercially safe images that come with the same licensing guarantees as traditional stock photos. This makes it uniquely positioned for enterprise and agency use.

The AI generator is integrated directly into Shutterstock's platform, allowing users to seamlessly mix AI-generated images with traditional stock photography. When the AI cannot produce exactly what you need, millions of curated stock photos are a search away. The platform also offers AI-powered editing tools for background removal, image extension, and style variation of both generated and stock images.

Shutterstock's contributor compensation model sets it apart ethically. Artists whose work contributed to the AI training data receive compensation through the Shutterstock Contributor Fund. This approach addresses the contentious issue of AI training on artist work and provides a more sustainable model for the creative ecosystem. Enterprise customers also receive IP indemnification for AI-generated content.
