Editor’s Note: This article was written and published in January 2025. The Storyblocks library now has over 10 million assets as of September 2026.

We’re kicking 2025 off with exciting news – the Storyblocks library now has over 4 million unique, high-quality stock assets for you to choose from! In just two years, our library has doubled in size. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone, as giving our members a best selection of stock to choose from while maintaining our high content standards has always been our priority.

Introducing Snapshots

Part of our growth comes from the latest addition to our library – Snapshots. A brand new media type in our image library, Snapshots are sourced directly from our 4K footage. With Snapshots, it’s easier than ever to create a consistent story across multiple channels.

Whether it’s creating thumbnails for your videos or static promotional ads, Snapshots helps save you valuable time while expanding your creative options.

With over a million new Snapshots to choose from, the creative possibilities of what you can create using the Storyblocks library continues to grow. We also made it easy to filter Snapshots by model release or property release, so you can find content with the proper distribution rights for your projects.

Continuing to put member needs first in 2025

While our library will always be video-first, Snapshots is an important addition to our selection of royalty free stock alongside our exclusive music, video templates, diverse footage, and more. We’re always focused on delivering what our members want, which is a selection of authentic, high-quality content.

We’re excited to show you what else we have in store for 2025 as we continue improving Storyblocks and giving creators all the tools they need to create amazing video, faster than ever before.
