Dreamstime Reviews 

Dreamstime has been a reliable platform with a wide selection of quality images at reasonable prices. The site is easy to use, and downloading images is straightforward. While search results can sometimes feel repetitive, the overall experience is smooth and efficient. A great resource for content creators and designers.

The customer service and technical team were incredibly helpful and quick to respond in helping me. I would highly recommend working with them.

Payout are too low. almost all are .35 cents and a larger payout is rare. I sell a larger volume on Adobe and average around .65 per pay out. The ease of uploading and the lack or rejection's is the only thin k that keeps me up loading. I know of a couple fellow contributers who have quit uploading to dreamstime. I quit up loading and pulled all my images off of Shutterstock when they changed to a teir system that really lowered payouts.

They don't confuse things by changing the way you get around the site continually. I always know I can get in, get what I want and be out again. They have world class photographers and loads of great images! Thanks!

On the first place on Dreamstime the image quality is excellent. You can find different images on different genres in one place. There are periodical competitions and also there are different blogs on different topics related to photography. So if one is seriously learning photography, he/she will find useful tips from those blogs.
Also there are plenty of vector images which you can download and use them wherever you want.
As a contributor its a great experience with Dreamstime because when you upload your images, there are user-friendly tips and information on how to upload an image , what are the sizes, and all that.

It's a great source of pictures for a travel agency. I've always been able to find here high quality images of of both well-known and lesser-known destinations here.

“I’ve been using this place for years, and they’re really fast at checking images.”

Collection is great, often unique to the other ones out there.

I have only one complaint. Last year they deleted one of my most popular images that had been up on their site for years without saying a word. I uploaded it again. That one was also deleted so I wrote them. I never got an explanation as to why. Other than that I have no complaints. My photos are usually approved promptly and I received payment shortly after requesting they send it. I didn't keep a record of the exact date of the experience but believe it was sometime in 2024.

With dreamstime, I can earn extra income from my hobby.

I have been in the Costumer Service industry for over 42 years. This morning, I spoke with Kimberly, who was very patient, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable with my requests. She is one of the best Customer Service Representatives that I have ever communicated with. Please ensure that she is recognized for being so awesome . She is a true asset to Dreamstime. Thank you~

Dreamstime's $100 minimum withdrawal limit is absurd, unjustifiable, and abusive. I stopped uploading photos here years ago because of this and was just waiting for my balance to reach $100 to withdraw, remove all my photos, and never return.

I don't have sales this year, but I still like the website and recommend it to others.

Working with contributors and helping them to grow as photographers.

I really like Dreamstime. The interface is very convenient, it is easy to upload photos, there is an application for authors - this is a huge plus. Almost all photos are accepted without problems and very quickly, and even those that were rejected can be re-uploaded after correction. The percentage of those photos that were not accepted is negligible. Furthermore, the support service really helps and answers questions normally, not with formal replies. Once they helped me a lot in difficult circumstances and at my request they sent me my money that I had in my account, although at that time I had not yet reached the minimum amount for withdrawing funds. The support service went to meet me and helped. For which I am infinitely grateful. The only thing I wanted more was for my works to sell better and more often, it would motivate me even more. I only have three sales now, but I want more. Thank you.

The quick approval win it!

Good service
