DepositPhotos

1. There seems to be a very limited number of pictures.

2. The categories are very limited, and are appropriate only for non-professionals or professionals.

For example, I am doing an academic project on the 600 years of teh Protestant reformation. There are practically no visuals of countries, events, leaders,, monarchs, etc. from 500 year of history and current events.

3. Unlike Alamy, DepositPhotos has practically no visual sof historical documents.

4. I guess, your market is basically non-scholarly and non-professional use.

5. Almost 70 percent of what I found on your site is available on Wikimedia or the National Archives of most countries.

The biggest photostock I've ever used. There are a lot of quality stock photos and video images, website is very comfortable, and I've no problem with payment and shipping. Using this storage for 4 months.

I needed to buy some photos for our site and came across Depositphotos.
They offerred to buy monthly plan, I paid and got my photos. What they did not tell me is that their customer agreement by default suggested recurring payment each month.
And you don't see this since it's very well hidden.
They do not provide enough information and they do not send alert when funds are written off so you don't know that your money is drained to some bloody scam boss.
So check and delete your account)by the way you cannot do it by yourself)

Depositphotos is chock-full of eye-catching photos. I really love this site! Because this site has outdone itself this time, utmost resourceful. Also, the plethora of mind-blowing photos. As far as I know, Quality is more expensive than price. In fact, Depositphotos has proved it. However, I came across this site one-and-a-half-year-ago while I was looking for inexpensive photos. Thanks to this site, I received high-quality photos in reasonable prices. Without fail, great things happen here.

This company, unlike the better ShutterStock company, charges even when you have bought the picture and need a different size to download. BE CAREFUL of its "auto buy - auto- renew setting if you open an account because when you run out of pictures it will also charge you for another set of pictures. I just wanted a different size of the picture already paid for. When I downloaded the different size it automatically charged me $50 for ten more pictures I do not need. Customer service would not refund my money. My advice is to be extremely cautious with this company.

What these sad people have written about Depositphotos is just not fair. The comments clearly show people who don’t pay attention to what they’re doing. I have been a happy customer for over five years now, and I have always been treated fairly. Sure, there have been times when I there were problems, but tech support always helped me figure it out. I got a refund after I had a medical emergency and couldn’t get to my computer to close my subscription – they couldn’t have been nicer, in fact. I don’t think these unhappy reviewers had a clear idea what was going on. Heck, how hard is it to figure out PayPal?

I signed up for the trial service and didn't end up downloading anything. I woke up this morning to go and cancel it but they had already charged for the services and the site says no refunds so I was like oh great, just paid $60 for images I don't want.

So I emailed them anyway and explained how I hadn't even used the trial and if they could refund it and they said YES! As a graphic/web designer when I DO need that many images I will certainly be back. I really didn't expect that kind of customer service so I want to make sure to give them a loving review in return for their kindness! :)

I was a member years ago until the price increase. I subsequently went to a competitor. I recently needed higher quality imagery and signed up for the monthly plan.

It's great to have a choice that is below Adobe or Getty but above free or low-cost imagery low-level imagery.

Wow, wish I had done my homework first.

Signed up to DepositPhotos.com and had to open up a PayPal account as I did not have one previously. No big deal, I was just doing the trial for the week, right?

I downloaded two photos - really? Where the hell are they on my computer? Nowhere. I'm far from computer challenged and I looked up the image name and did a search on my entire computer. Nope. Nowhere.

Tried to download the same picture again. Nowhere on computer. What the hell?

Now I'm down to "two" credits. Grr.

Tried to do their online "chat". Nope, no one available.

Tried to call to see if someone could help me find the file and figure out the problem. Voice mail on 1st ring = no one available, leave a message. No thanks.

Sent an e-mail this morning after all this - still no response.

Y'all are right. This company sucks! I've spent two hours on this issue and I'm over it.

Depositphotos is chock-a-block of amazing as well as lifelike photos. I have been habitual to get disappointed and anxious while I was searching for a good site even I kept finding every now and then, incessantly. Unluckily, I often found the sites that have tremendous tedious and stale photos. I always wanted to look different from my competitors. All of sudden someone grabbed me around the Depositphotos. It is an amazing and trustworthy service. I always got unique, high-quality, and high-resolution photos by this service. Thanks for the ton of tangible and attainable help.

The only reason I give 4 and not 5 is that sometimes the site is difficult to navigate. Little things like adding images to favorites--it would be better if it popped up with a submenu of the favorites folders to add to. You have to change the folder beforehand at the bottom, but I am always adding images to favorites for different things--and end up adding them to the wrong folders.

But, again, the pricing/plan options are very reasonable... perfect for the freelance graphic designer who doesn't need/can't afford a huge plan!

Had a lot of licensing questions. They were extremely thorough and made sure to answer questions with real answers instead of just sending me a link to the license that I read hundreds of times (dropped adobe stock photos because they kept giving me vague answers on license and their support really sucked in giving me clear answers that made sense). Overall really happy with the deposit photos selection, licensing terms, and pricing. The library also seems larger. And again, the customer support here really made the difference.

As an author and occasional blogger, I've looked for a site that would provide me with stock photos for covers, writing presentations and blog posts at a cost that wouldn't break the bank. Deposit Photos has various plans and I found just the right plan that was a much better deal than the leading stock photo sites. I'm enjoying using the amazing images and have already redone my book covers with images downloaded from Deposit Photos.

My friend buys photos and sell them for a higher price here. It's not the best business, but he got some money from this. I try to upload there some of my travel photos, but I still haven't any sales...
