Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Enhanced License?

The Enhanced License provides much more distribution capabilities than our Standard License. For example, the Enhanced License allows the video clip to be used in TV, Film, and in web templates, and offers unlimited audience distribution rights. Visit our support center or contact us for more information.

Can I transfer licenses?

You can use Shutterstock content for your clients, but our Standard and Enhanced Licenses do not allow for content to be transferred in whole to another party. That means you retain the right to use the content. If your client wants a new design or product using the content you licensed, the client would need to ask you to do the design, or license it independently. Our Shutterstock Enterprise licenses allow for the transfer of content. Learn more about our Premier license.

Are there any limitations on Shutterstock licenses?

Shutterstock licensed content cannot be used for logos, trademarks, sensitive use, or reselling without added creative elements without a custom license. If you need a custom license, please contact us.
