Mobile Version of Shutterstock for Authors
2
At the end of May, the popular stock agency Shutterstock introduced a new app for stock authors, allowing them to work with the site in mobile version. The app’s launch was announced on the stock forum with a thread containing the following text:
Dear authors,
We are excited to share the good news: the Shutterstock Mobile team has been working hard on a mobile app for authors that allows them to easily and quickly check the status of their works.
We have much more work ahead, but we invite you to check it out and share your impressions here on the forum, so we can make the necessary adjustments to the app.
You can access the Shutterstock mobile app for authors by going to submit.shutterstock.com/mobile on your mobile device (tip: iPhone owners can create a shortcut for the app by visiting the URL, then clicking the checkbox with the arrow at the bottom of the browser window and selecting “Add to Home Screen”).
To summarize, here are the main tasks that the stock agency’s mobile app performs:
- View the most downloaded works from the past 7 days;
- View the amount of earnings that have yet to be paid to the author;
- Get information about recently uploaded works, such as: download counts and earnings amounts for each work separately;
- Display the keywords by which the uploaded work was found.
And also, please note that at this time we support the app for a limited number of operating systems, such as: iPhone with iOS 4.0 and higher and Android phones version 2.3 and higher.
We look forward to your feedback to create as high-quality and user-friendly updates for our esteemed authors as possible.
Thank you,
Shutterstock Mobile Team
According to the feedback on the forum, owners of phones with the aforementioned iOS and Android operating systems are quite satisfied with the app’s performance, while other stock authors will have to wait until the Shutterstock team provides access to the app for them as well.

Can’t you send works to the site with the mobile version? Viewing sales is one thing, but sending works from far away is quite another, and it’s really necessary!
From the information I have, this option is not available, as phones are not intended for creating, editing, or attributing works. All the stockers I know use laptops when staying away from home for long periods.
