Music on Shutterstock
0
What everyone has been waiting for has finally happened! Shutterstock has launched music sales, meaning audio content. Here is the original news translated.
We’ve long noticed explosive growth in video creation and uploads to our platform, and we kept hearing clearly and repeatedly from our contributors that there was one more thing we could offer to help bring their projects to life.
So, here it is: we’re launching audio content sales on Shutterstock, expanding the content selection for buyers and giving musicians a new way to monetize their talent.

Shutterstock Music
When naming this new service, we chose not to use the word “audio,” because it doesn’t capture the full range of emotion we want to deliver – only Shutterstock Music, or Music on Shutterstock.
Search makes it easy to find stunning, high‑quality tracks perfectly suited to your projects – whether it’s something calm and natural, a bluesy vibe for games, or perhaps a classical piece by Vivaldi that fits your story flawlessly.
Whatever you’re working on, we’ve got just the right music.
User experience
Searching for music is fundamentally different from searching for images because you can only listen to one track at a time. We built a music search experience that’s easy to use and saves time.
Beyond keywords, you can set parameters like genre and mood to narrow results even before you hit “play” (filters are available as well).
We’ve also tuned a robust audio player that keeps playing even if you navigate away from the page. Our curated playlists help kick‑start your search for the right music.
Starting today, you can visit our music site at shutterstock.com/music. Soon, we’ll add entry points to the Music section from the image and video search areas.

Music licensing on Shutterstock
It won’t surprise anyone that we offer one of the simplest licenses on the market, with just two price points: $79 for a standard license and $499 for an extended license. Both are discounted during the launch period, so you can try purchasing music now with up to 30% off.
Our goal is to make Shutterstock music licensing straightforward for everyone: online video creators, creative directors, music and radio executives, and anyone who wants quality music for their projects.

A marketplace for selling music
We’re creating a new revenue stream for musicians online by leveraging Shutterstock’s vast audience, which now has access to music directly from creators worldwide.
We started building the initial catalog with our content partners, but, as with other media types (photos, illustrations, and video), we plan to open submissions to musicians themselves in the near future.
If you’re interested in selling your tracks through Shutterstock, let us know!”
