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

I started my subscription a year ago …

I started my subscription a year ago only used it for 2 months but paid for the full year! I did not receive an email telling me that I was going to be charged on my credit card again I do realize that I did sign in for a renewal however most places will give you a heads up and send you an email stating that they are going to charge your credit card! These people did not and when I consulted with them they said they would only give me 50% back! Which is what I paid for the first year! So ...

Storyblocks / Videoblocks is great !!!

Storyblocks / Videoblocks is a great value! I've been in the film business for 30 years. I cannot believe the quality and huge choice I have available to me with the Premium subscription. For all those who take this service lightly - your spoiled. Seriously it's only been the last 8 years that you could even consider creating professional quality images for film at all. It just wasn't possible unless you were insanely rich or had access to a RED or ARRI. So in conclusion - don't take for ...

Scam.

I had been tempted to start a free trial with AudioBlocks for months by various bloggers, but resisted due to the fact that in order to do so, I would have to enter my card details up front. It seemed dodgy. But all these bloggers were praising it, so I went for it. And what a COLOSSAL mistake that was. The trial itself was wonderful. AudioBlocks offers great music, and the website is easy enough to use. When the trial ended, I was unable to start a membership with them due to financial ...

I'll be honest here and say a One Star …

I'll be honest here and say a One Star rating would be a bit harsh. You get what you pay for. The subscription is extremely cheap for an annual membership, as a frequent purchaser of stock images, the quality of the images available on the site is not great. It would suit a light user of stock that has never used much stock before. A lot of these images are extremely dated. It's like they bought a bulk of stock cheap from a library having a clear out. The people images are very foreign ...

Bad Images and vectors quality. Can't cancel online.

Bad Images and vectors quality. I wanted to cancel my account when my year was over and they don't have a cancellation option in their website. YOU HAVE TO CALL THEM IN ORDER TO CANCEL YOU ACCOUNT! SERIOUSLY?!? Bad move...

Bought a $49 annual subscription

Bought a $49 annual subscription. Never used it. A year later they charged me $149 auto renewal, with no reminder whatsoever!!! I tried cancelling, but they have a NO REFUND policy... CRIMINALS!

All of their music is protected for their clients to use. . A+ company

Professional Photos - Reasonably Priced, Great Variety, Easy to Navigate

I like how convenient it is to sign in. Most of the pictures are bright and clear. I download a lot of family, adults, and children's faces for my blog's parenting site. The variety of expressions on their faces like sad, angry, and happy is very helpful to me. If I were to make two suggestions, they would be to have LOTS of diverse faces of children and adults, especially Asian, Latino and Black, and to have more photos with white backgrounds. I like the price. To pay a fee once a year ...
