Shutterstock

Search and license stock photos.

What it does in Collabre

Shutterstock gives your team a stock photo library inside Collabre. Search Shutterstock, license the photo you want and save it into the Media Library, all without leaving the place where the post is being built. Licensing is tracked with the image, so nobody has to guess later whether a photo in a published post was paid for.

You search Shutterstock from the Stock Images tab in the Design Hub. Type what you need, keep Shutterstock selected as the provider and press Search. Each result shows its title, artist and dimensions. Press License to license an image, and it is marked Licensed. Licensed images appear under Saved Assets, where Save to Media Library puts them in the library. There they get AI tags, version history and the same approval workflow as the rest of your assets, and they can be reused across posts, Campaigns and Brands.

How to connect it

  1. Open Integration Hub from the Integrations group in the sidebar.
  2. Find Shutterstock under Stock Media and press Connect.
  3. Complete the sign in Shutterstock asks for and grant access.
  4. Back in Collabre, the card shows Connected with the account name.
  5. Open Design Hub from the sidebar and choose the Stock Images tab.
  6. Choose Shutterstock as the provider, enter a search and press Search.

The connection is stored against your Workspace. Disconnect from the Integration Hub card at any time.

Using it on a Campaign

Say a travel brand's summer Campaign needs beach and city photos for a run of posts, and there is no budget for a shoot. A Designer opens Stock Images, searches Shutterstock for the scenes on the brief, and presses License on the best matches. On Saved Assets, filtered to Shutterstock, they press Save to Media Library. The photos fill the image slots on the Campaign's deliverables, pass asset approval, and show in platform previews on the Assembly Board beside their captions.

Questions

Press License on a search result and the image is marked Licensed, so your team can see which photos are cleared before they reach a post.

The Stock Images tab has a provider switch for Shutterstock and Freepik. Connect both and switch between them for the same search.

To Saved Assets in the Design Hub. Press Save to Media Library there and the photo is ready for any post, Campaign or Brand.
