At Storyblocks, creators come first

From the people who Storyblocks use in their work to the artists who make the assets in our human-made stock library, our mission is to help everyone create more moving stories.

Helping artists make a living doing the work they love

Real, authentic stories have to start with real, human art - and that’s why we work with a global community of talented filmmakers, musicians, and other artists to curate our library.

100% human-made stock

Every asset in our library, from footage clips to music tracks, is made by a real artist with zero AI-generated content - ensuring your work always looks polished and resonates with your audience.

Every download supports an artist

A portion of every member’s subscription payment goes into a shared pool, and artists earn from that pool based on how often their content is downloaded.

How your subscription works

Clear licensing

You can use our licensed assets with confidence because we have direct working relationships with every copyright-holding artist in our library - along with the highest level of indemnification in the industry.

Time-saving features

From unlimited downloads (with no restrictions) to our Adobe plugin, YouTube claim support, pre-made templates, and more, we provide what you need to create better video faster than ever.

AI Toolkit

Our AI Toolkit gives you access to industry-leading generative models at no extra cost, allowing you to simplify your tech stack and supplement your creativity - not replace it.
