Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Shutterstock not working?

If you're asking 'is Shutterstock down?', there are two main reasons Shutterstock is not working for you. First, it could be a widespread Shutterstock outage or scheduled maintenance. You can verify the current Shutterstock server status by checking our charts. Second, the problem might be local (a bad internet connection or browser cache).

How do I know if Shutterstock is down?

The best way to know if Shutterstock is down is to check this page. Look at our 24-hour graph for a spike in reports, which indicates a confirmed Shutterstock outage. You can also check our "Service Status History" log for official updates on the current Shutterstock server status.

If Shutterstock's website is down, does it mean the whole service is down?

Not always. A modern service has many parts (website, API, etc.). It's possible for Shutterstock to have a partial Shutterstock outage (like the API being down) while the main website still works. This can be confusing when you're asking 'is Shutterstock down?' because part of the service is still operational.

What are the common reasons for a Shutterstock outage?

A Shutterstock outage can be caused by many issues: server overloads, database failures, or new software bugs. Sometimes, it's just scheduled maintenance. These are common reasons why Shutterstock was down in the past. Our monitor tracks the Shutterstock status regardless of the cause.

What to do when Shutterstock is inaccessible or not working?

If Shutterstock is not working or inaccessible, first confirm the Shutterstock server status on this page. If we show a confirmed Shutterstock outage, you just have to wait for them to fix it. If our page shows the service is "Up," the issue is likely on your end (see our troubleshooting guide).
