Images must be at least 4MP (4 Megapixels/4 Million Pixels). To calculate the number of pixels in a photo - multiply the width by the height. For example, a photo that is 1700 x 1300 is 2.21 million pixels. Please note that Megapixels (MP) are not the same as Megabytes (MB).
Images should not be upsized. We perform an upsize to sell the “supersized” version where the file size is under 15MP.
Images should be correctly exposed and in-focus.
Images can be submitted in digital form only. If you would like to submit film/negatives, you must scan them into a digital format before you submit them. Do not send physical negatives or positives to Shutterstock.
Illustrations must be tagged as illustrations.
Vectors may not exceed 15MB in size.
