There are millions of images, and you can always find at least one, if not many that work with whatever you're creating. and sometimes there are good free photos of the week in their weekly emails.
Nothing. I've had no issues with them. Sometimes there are too many images to search through, but that's a good thing.
I've had no issues or problems. I can always find a photo or graphic that works for me.
DepositPhotos has a great selection of photos and graphics. The image quality and selection are inline with some of the stock image resources that have been around for much longer at a much lower price per image. What's even better is that they have a featured deal at least once a year on AppSumo.
We have no complaints and have been using DepositPhotos for years. A great selection at a great price.
We use DepositPhotos images and graphics in various projects when custom graphics or a photo shoot is not in the budget or the project timeline is tight. Even if we end up doing a photo shoot or creating custom graphics the imagery is great to convey an idea.
Sometimes it is hard to get your artwork or photos out to the public. I felt that depositphotos makes this easier, and allows hard work to be appreciated. It truly does link sellers and buyers together, which can be difficult in this field.
I feel that the layout can be more appealing, although there is nothing wrong with the way it is setup. Overall, depositphotos is very efficient and gets the job done. Not many negatives to say.
I have realized that softwares/apps are important in certain industries. When trying to share my personal insights and work, Depositphotos was very useful in connecting me with others ( who were actually interested in my work). It narrows down the market by a lot.
Considering how cheap the photos are, there's quite a large range to choose from and the quality is pretty decent. The interface is simple to use and you can choose any size for the same price. It's definitely good value for money, and has a range comparable to Adobe Stock and Shutterstock.
Often it can be a little hard to find images that are unique or have that independent look that stock sites like Unsplash and Stocksy pride themselves on. A lot of photos can look incredibly cringy or cliche, so it can be hard to sift through the chaf to find the best ones.
The price of photos are so cheap that we often don't now need to get client approval before purchasing. We can simply download and test out photos and get signoff after the fact. They've really freed up our design time.
A pro of using Depositphotos would definitely be the level of quality that you are allowed to choose from. Although HD pictures are optimal, they are not always needed necessarily. For that, I like how Depositphotos gives you the option of selecting a lower quality picture (which still gets the job done) at a lower price. That way, I can save and spend a higher amount on a campaign that may require a picture of higher definition.
I think this is an inevitable outcome when it comes to any type of stock picture service, but sometimes I feel that the people in the pictures are unnatural or come out too often. There is definitely a limit on the types of people we are able to find through Depositphotos, but I feel that the photo service could improve by having a larger diversity of people on their images.
Depositphotos allows us to schedule out daily social media content with pictures that fit the individual client's specific criteria. A benefit that comes from this is that we are able to work with clients from multiple industries but still find pictures that relate to each one.
They have a wide collection of high quality photos, but the prices can be a bit too high.
I stopped using them after they charged me and refused to offer a refund. I remember having purchased a discounted offer they were promoting at the time, which was about getting "10 images for half price", no mention of a monthly subscription. I didn't even use the 10 downloads I had, only a few. And apparently if you don't use them you lose them after a while.
We needed some high quality images to use in our blog posts, which we found on DepositPhotos.
The variety is pretty decent for being a more affordable stock photo brand. However, I've found equally as high-quality imagery from royalty-free sites like Pexels (although more limited selection) without the obviously recognizable stock look (lots of brands using the same images across their marketing).
A lot of the images can be redundant or corny or recognizably stock imagery (seen across the web on other brand's marketing), which is frustrating. I wish Depositphotos demanded more of what they include on the site.
We needed a stock photo solution, and Depositphotos fit the bill affordably. After a few years, we outgrew it.
There was a relatively side selection of photos.
The payment interface was confusing. .. You had to buy credits before buying a photo. That seemed kind of gimmicky. Also, there are now free sites of high quality photos that the original photographers crowdsource together.
We needed high quality stock photos for our website.
I recently tried out Depositphotos. They have good content and well-organized filters. But their business model is flawed.
I recently tried out Depositphotos. On the trial page, they didn't mention that it's a 7-day trial. But all over the webpage, they had wording to make you believe that it's a one-month trial. Then they charged me in a week. And when I messaged them that it's a month's trial. They refused to refund me my hard-earned money back. I wonder how many people they are doing this to? Be careful with this company.
I needed a photo for a project. And they SEEMED to have a good plan where you pay $1 for each photo during the trial period.
