Lowest average royalties. For this reason I deleted most of my portfolio and don't upload anything good.
You work honestly, post photos, advertise your links, attract buyers, reach the threshold of 100$, order a payout and you are simply blocked and paid nothing! There are many such stories, they have the same letters and no one is not even going to solve anything. They are just scammers.
As a professional travel agency we need a large number of high quality photos from all over the world and here they are
MUCHO COSTO POR LAS IMAGENES Y EL BUSCADOR DE IMAGENES ES DEFICIENTE
I queried the prices I am being charged and I got a response that was completely unhelpful and when I questioned further, I was ghosted.
I am extremely satisfied with this website. What I appreciate the most is that it offers the highest royalties compared to others. I have recommended this platform to many of my friends, and three of them have already joined. Although sales can be slightly slow at times, I don't consider it a drawback, as the website consistently delivers its best. Ultimately, success depends on the quality of our work. I sincerely hope this platform soon becomes the No. 1 website in its field.
After I requested a payout I received an email to confirm the request. Following the link only brought me to this page, not the confirmation page. I prefer not to do reviews.
Never had an opportunity to be followed by an account manager personally in so MANY years I've been contributing to try a better experience and results-sales. It's just an unpersonal automatic machine. Pity
Best regards
Do not accept too much AI, please. Its killing all business in the industry
I'm truly satisfied with my experience on Dreamstime. This platform gives me the opportunity to share my photography—even simple shots taken around my village—and turn them into something valuable. The upload process is smooth, the review time is reasonable, and I'm happy that many of my photos have been approved and even started selling.
The review team is fair and their feedback helps me improve my work. My approval rate has been great, and I'm learning a lot through this journey. I pray that Dreamstime continues to be a blessing not just for me but for many other creators around the world. Thank you, Dreamstime!
The growth of the image seller is quite slow. It takes a long time to sell each image. Sales are not very good. Even though I have a lot of images in my portfolio, I don't sell very well. I would like the dreamtime website to help fix and promote it... The image submission system and categories of the dreamtime website have developed in a good way. I feel very good.
Dreamstime is a platform I contributed to and found quite pleasant to work with, particularly the ease of use that benefits beginners like myself. The upload procedure is effortless, and the provided tools for keywords make the tasks easier and quicker. It is nice to see that the licensing terms are clear and that even niche works have a market.
Hej, det er nogle gode billeder I har, men det er meget lidt brugervenligt at finde rundt i. F.eks. Lightboxes er ofte svære at finde. Vh. Mogens

For my social media posts, I pay for Dreamstime's pictures, rather than "steal" photos from the Internet. Deamstime has different prices to suit the needs of users. No one should have to "steal" anything anymore. The choices available to clients are amazing - and all quality photos, pictures, etc in varying sizes. Pay and enjoy convenience, and enjoy peace of mind, rather than worrying about being charged for copyright infringement. Worth every cent!

Good selection. Wish they had an all-inclusive program that included video as part of the stock images.
Thank you for your feedback, David! We’re glad to hear you appreciate our selection and want even more flexibility from Dreamstime. Your suggestion about having an all-inclusive program for both images and videos is a great one. While video isn’t bundled yet, we’re excited to share that our new Zero Gravity plan - https://www.dreamstime.com/zero-gravity - gives you **unlimited downloads of both images and audio** for a fixed monthly price. This subscription is perfect for users who need access to a wide variety of high-quality visuals and audio tracks for creative projects—without worrying about download limits or credits.
The Zero Gravity plan also features a dynamic, rotating library, so you always have fresh new content to choose from. This not only provides great value for creators but also supports our community of contributors by sharing a percentage of revenue based on downloads.
We truly appreciate your suggestion about expanding the program to include video, and we’ll forward your input to our product team for consideration as we continue to improve. Thank you for helping us make Dreamstime better for everyone! If you have further questions or need assistance, please let us know.
