Creatives Can Now Access Footage with the Shutterstock Mobile App

Creating awesome, engaging video content on a smartphone is easier and faster than ever before with Shutterstock’s mobile app. This week, Shutterstock announced that users can search, save, and license footage from over 17 million videos directly on their iOS and Android devices—now supporting a mobile-only workflow for footage content creators.

Whatever the end product—social media clips, marketing materials, memes—footage can help bring a message to life, and better resonate with followers, customers, and friends. And with the Shutterstock mobile app, users can reach them without ever putting down their phones.

The way people make and share content is rapidly changing. There’s a push to respond to fast-changing trends while engaging discerning communities with quick and sleek production. What’s more, with the widespread shift toward remote work, creatives are increasingly having to produce meaningful, aesthetically pleasing content away from their workplace and even without their key equipment.

With Shutterstock’s app, however, creatives can produce high quality content from the comfort of their own homes, and without the need to invest in other devices. Today and in the months to come, the app is a must-have for mobile-minded creators, marketers, and social media mavens who are never far from their phone.

“As consumers spend more and more time on their devices, marketers are adapting their strategies to reach them there. As a result, we’ve seen many customers transition to mobile-only campaign creation and execution,” said Jamie Elden, Chief Revenue Officer at Shutterstock.

“This update enables a new generation of producers and content creators to access footage in seconds to quickly and easily create on-the-go—perhaps while on location.”

Elden added,

“We are committed to continuously innovating our products and streamlining the creative process as the needs of our customers continue to evolve.”
