If you're a photographer interested in becoming a Storyblocks contributor, it's important to know that Storyblocks is not currently accepting still image submissions for the Member Library Partner Program.
If this changes in the future, we’ll update information in our FAQs.
Can I currently sell my photography on Storyblocks?
Not at this time. Storyblocks currently does not accept image uploads through the Member Library Partner Program. Photographers currently can not apply, upload, and sell still photography through the Member Library Partner Program.
You can monitor the Storyblocks Contributor Help Center for updates:
What content can I contribute instead?
Eligible video content can also be used to create Snapshots for the Storyblocks library. Snapshots are still images extracted from existing 4K video footage in the Storyblocks library.
If you create both photography and video, you may be able to contribute eligible video footage through the Storyblocks contributor program. Storyblocks looks for commercial-quality, professionally produced footage and evaluates submissions for visual, technical, authenticity, and other quality standards.

Can I use my photography experience to create footage?
Yes! If you also create video, many of the same skills - composition, lighting, subject selection, storytelling, and attention to image quality - can help you create strong footage submissions.
The same suggestions apply for creating video content. We are looking for professionally captured, authentic scenes with sharp focus, proper lighting and exposure, composition, and appropriate post-production.
What if Storyblocks starts accepting photography?
If Storyblocks reopens submissions for still images, we will update the contributor community, as well as the Help Center with updated requirements and instructions.
You can also review the broader contributor resources to understand how the program works, including licensing, metadata, uploading, content review, and in-demand content.
