Pushing UX beyond 400M stock images
Known globally for its library of 400+ million stock images, Shutterstock hosts a wide range of digital content including video, 3D, editorial, and audio.
To better communicate the diverse nature of its platform, the company teamed up with the designers and researchers of Design Studio. The results of our collaboration have increased the company's user engagement and conversions.

Stock for all devices
Even though desktop leads the way in purchase conversion, creative professionals spend enough time searching for content on mobile as well.
Our experts ensured that the final design is properly adjusted to mobile devices while following industry-established conventions and mobile-specific features.
Universal UX framework
Last but not least, our team took ownership of revamping one of the key Shutterstock pages — the asset details page. The updated version presents images, videos, editorial, 3D, and audio pieces in a consistent way, improving the users' learning curve.
