Storyblocks Reviews in September 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Excellent value for the money

Excellent value for the money! The library keeps getting better with age, like a fine wine.

I have thousands of music and sfx…

I have thousands of music and sfx tracks but yet, over the past year, I have found myself going to Audioblocks at least 75% of the time. The quality and choices are unsurpassed and the price makes it too good of a value not to renew year after year.

So Useful!

Storyblocks has been an invaluable resource for me and my projects. I absolutely love their broad selection, and the detailed search-filter. It's not often that you are given the option to search images by color!

I have all the music

I have all the music, sound effects, stingers I need all in one place, no need to go to different resources. So convenient and cost effective.

Membership fee... "All is free". But then $ to download?!?!?

So first you trick me into signing up for a year and pay for it. Then you show me how I can save pictures to a folder on your web. Nice service so far... And then you ask me to pay $198 in order to download the pictures in the folder. And then a couple of days later I fund out that I need to pay extra per picture. Got a response for Storyblocks saying that they provide this info upfront. No they don't. Sent them screenshots from how they dragged me into their scam until payment. Nothing ...

Videoblocks is an incredible resource…

Videoblocks is an incredible resource for videographers, web designers, social media managers, animation specialists and really anyone that has to present videos to the masses. The footage is beautifully shot, professional, of appropriate length, and very visually stimulating. I recommend this website to anyone that really wants to take their content to the next level without spending an arm and a leg on royalty free footage. I'm so impressed with this service and am a very, VERY happy customer!

High Quality and Easy to Use

The pictures are high quality, often unique and easy to find what you are looking for.

For creative artists

For creative artists, Audioblocks is a great resource for content!!

Using the Audioblocks library is so…

Using the Audioblocks music library is so easy. Fast downloads, found everything I needed, brilliant sound quality, perfect foldering structure. Millions of music files for the documentary I filmed and edited about astronomy. You made my job much easier, thanks.
