Shutterstock recognizes the value created each time a user downloads an asset.

This creates a data set containing information about search terms, trends, and geographical locations, forming a valuable resource for businesses and researchers.

The Role of Shutterstock Data Licensing

Shutterstock’s data licensing initiative opens this data to customers, providing insights into usage patterns, marketing trends, and business strategies.

This approach allows researchers to make informed decisions based on the collection of information contributors create.
