StockUnlimited at a Glance
Summary
StockUnlimited is a very affordable solution if you are looking for a platform to get unlimited photos and visuals. It has a good selection of images and compared to other platforms you get really good value for your money.
What is StockUnlimited and what does it offer?
StockUnlimited was founded in 2014, and it is a subscription-based platform that is mostly known for being a place to get stock images.
You will, however, get access to several other useful visuals on the platform as well. So let’s go over what it offers so you can find out if it has what you are looking for or not:
Feature 1 – Unlimited stock photos:
Having access to unlimited stock photos is more or less a necessity when working a lot with websites or content production.
There are websites that offer this for free, but they often do not have as big a collection and the images are often used on a lot of other websites as well, which can make it more difficult for you to stand out. Furthermore, you cannot be 100% sure that you will not violate any copyrights when using images from the free portals.
For these reasons, I started to look for a paid image platform that was not expensive, but still had a lot of images (more about the prices later).
StockUnlimited was the best option I found, and it has a lot of really good images, and it has made it a lot easier for me to find great images for my websites, and it has saved me a lot of time. You can get images both as jpg, png, vectors, icons, and more.
It is easy to find relevant images as there is a search bar, where you just write the topic.
I have personally benefited a lot from joining, as I have found out how much easier it is to find relevant images here compared to the free portals I used to use. The selection is great, but I would also say that if you compare it to one of the most famous stock image platforms Shutterstock, it does not have quite as many images.
However, compared to the value for money, StockUnlimited is by far the best, and it is possible to afford a subscription here, even when you do not have a big budget, which I think is great.
Also, new images are added every week, so you will never run out and you can find images for more or less any occasion.
Feature 2 – Music and sound effects:
If you need small music clips or sound effects for videos or similar, you can find a big selection on StockUnlimited.
You can look through the selection either by looking at music or sound effects by genre, you can look by sorting by mood, or by sorting by the instrument. You can also use the search bar I showed (see image above) to search for a certain keyword, and then select it has to be an audio file.
Personally, I have not bought this as part of my subscription, as I do not use sound effects a lot, but it might be different for you, and now you know it is an option
Feature 3 – Download fonts:
Most website templates or design programs have quite a lot of fonts already, so you might not need this feature on StockUnlimited, depending on how much you design.
But if you need more specialized fonts, you can download a large number from StockUnlimited.
You can either use the search bar, or you can go through the different categories in the fonts section and see the most popular or see the fonts within a certain category.
Feature 4 – Templates:
Templates can be a big time saver when it comes to designing – especially if you like me is not a big designer, but still need something that looks nice.
Templates can give you a great starting point, and help you create something beautiful in a very short time.
StockUnlimited has some really nice templates that can help you with this.
It, for example, has templates for PowerPoint, logos, banners, flyers, social media posts, and more. It can save you a lot of time to use templates like this for design, and it can also save you a lot of money since you can take care of a lot of tasks yourself instead of hiring a designer.
Feature 5 – Collections:
StockUnlimited has a section with what is called collections. It is collections of images and graphics within a certain topic.
That means you can download a collection of relevant images for a certain topic, which can save you time, as you do not have to do all the searches yourself.
For me the collection of infographics is especially cool, as it gives you templates for infographics, you can use for your website. Other examples of collections are spring, mother’s day, winter, and premium backgrounds.
The collections can be a great way to get inspiration and ideas within certain topics and can give you easy access if you need graphics within one of the collections offered.
Be aware that the collections are only available to download if you have an annual or 3 years subscription.
Below, I have made a small video tutorial to show you how to use StockUnlimited in the most effective way and make sure you can always find the images you need for your projects:

Where can you use StockUnlimited images?
One thing is to know that you can find a lot of images, audios, fonts and more on StockUnlimited. But where you are allowed to use them are also very important to know, so you are sure it is what you need.
You do not have many restrictions on StockUnlimited, which is great. You can use all the content you download for both commercial and non-commercial projects, for websites, newsletters, banners, ads, documents, blogs, magazine articles, illustrations, business cards, videos, and more.
If you are a freelancer or do work for other people, you are also allowed to use the content to create this work, which makes it even better value for money.
There are a few things you cannot use the content on StockUnlimited for. You cannot use the images to create a logo – a logo is something that you will have copyright on, and you do not have the copyright for the images (you have a license to use them but you do not own the copyright).
Also, you cannot use the content to create non-editable templates such as WordPress themes – for this, you need to buy an extended license on StockUnlimited.
In general, you can use the content on StockUnlimited for many things, and if you are a freelancer or run some websites, it will give you all you need. The conditions and licensing agreement can of course change, so I advise you to check the updated terms and conditions on the websites itself before joining.
Are there any free images available?
So far I have shown you what you can get if you buy a subscription for StockUnlimited, but you can actually also find free images on the platform.
You can of course not find as many free images, as you can when you have a subscription, but there is still a good amount.
It is really easy to see which images are free compared to certain other platforms, where you will not know until you click and try to download the image. All the free images are marked with a small green banner saying “free”. You can also choose only to see the free images when you use the search bar.
You need to create an account to get access to the free images, which you can do without a credit card, and then you can start downloading the free images right away.
Be aware that you can maximum download 10 free images per day.
StockUnlimited pricing and licenses
You have different options if you want to get access to the paid content on StockUnlimited. You can either choose to buy a download pack for between 10-100 assets. That means that you can download a certain amount of content, which is great if you do not need access to unlimited assets.
The prices for this varies depending on the amount you want to buy, but it will be between $0.50-$0.90 per download. This is a very good price when you take into consideration that many other stock providers easily charge $40-$60 per download.
You can also buy subscriptions that give you access to unlimited assets. You can buy a monthly subscription, a yearly, or 3 years access. I am not going to post the exact prices here, as they regularly change and there are sometimes promotions, so it is better you check the updated prices on the website itself.
No matter what, I can, however, say that you get really good value for money compared to other stock platforms.
That is the reason I bought access, and I actually got the 3-year subscription, as that was the best deal for me at the time. But you can also start smaller and test it out, and then it is possible to upgrade later.
Also, there is a 7-day money back guarantee, so if you join and find out it is not for you, you can get your money back and cancel your subscription.

StockUnlimited discount code
At the beginning of this review, I promised to show you a way to get a discount so you will get an even better deal.
Because I have OnlineZeroToHero.com, I have been given a coupon/discount code for StockUnlimited that will give you as a visitor on my website a 10% discount on all subscription plans.
The coupon code is: SUPLAN10OFF.
When búying any subscription you can use this code and you will then get a 10% discount. This is a really great deal and makes it even better value for money, and I am very excited to be able to offer this further discount to you as a visitor here.
So if you decide to get StockUnlimited, I hope you will benefit from this discount.
What rights do you have when your subscription ends?
One thing that is very important to consider, before you get a subscription to any stock photo platform is what happens to your right to use the content you downloaded after your subscription ends.
I know people that have used platforms, where they only had the right to use the content, as long as they had a subscription. Once they did not have a subscription anymore, they did not have the right to use the content anymore and could be sued for having for images on websites they created while having a subscription.
This is a huge problem, as you are then tied to continuously have a subscription, as long as you have a certain website for example.
Luckily this is not the case on StockUnlimited. Any content you download while you have a subscription is yours to use forever. So if you just have a one-month subscription and download a lot of images, you do not have to use them all within that month.
As long as they are downloaded while you have a subscription, you can use them at any time after that (as long as you of course still do it according to the licensing agreement mentioned above).
Final thoughts
Having great visual content is very important for any business and website. And using stock photos/videos is necessary in many cases if you publish a lot of content. Therefore, getting access to the right stock platform can be of great help.
So let’s finish this review by summing up the pros and cons of StockUnlimited, so you can get a better overview and see if it is the right platform for you.
Pros:
- Big selection of images, audio, and content
- Very easy to use
- Great value for money
- You get access to downloaded content forever
- Different subscription plans according to your needs
Cons:
- Not as big a selection as the more expensive stock platforms
Overall, I am really glad I found StockUnlimited. It saves me a lot of time and makes it easy to find great images for my projects. The best of all is that it is for a very reasonable and affordable price compared to other platforms.
The only disadvantage is that if you check out some of the more expensive stock platforms, they have an even bigger selection.
However, it all depends on your needs and budget. If you can afford potentially paying hundreds of dollars per month and want an even bigger selection, then maybe a more expensive platform like Shutterstock is a better choice.
But if you like me would like a more affordable solution with great options as well, and at the same time want to be sure you always use images for your projects that do not violate any copyrights, then StockUnlimited is, in my opinion, a really great choice.
If you have any comments, questions or have any experiences with StockUnlimited yourself, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Hello,
I’ve found your blog after I stumbled upon StockUnlimited’s Vector Plan for $35 (lifetime subscription). I thought it was too good to be true and Googled to see if I can find people that actually use this platform.
Your blog really made me go for it but then I take a look at the offer more carefully and read this “Note: This deal only includes vectors. It does not include photos. Additional fees apply for commercial use.”
Now, I’m planning to use the graphics for my website’s blog section. It’s not where I advertise my business, it’s just an honest blog section. That being said, the rest of the website is a pretty business-oriented platform.
Do you have any idea how much these “additional fees” might be and is it okay if I only use the graphics for the blog section?
Hi Nick,
Glad my blog helped you. As far as I am aware you can use the vectors for a blog. According to their terms, you can use images from them for advertising, promotions, social media, and more with a standard license. But you cannot use them for prints for sale, as design elements of templates, and similar.
I am, however, not a lawyer so if you have any doubts after reading their terms, I would suggest you contact the StockUnlimited support and clarify about your specific situation and the license you bought. I did the same when I first joined to make sure and got a quick reply.
Feel free to keep me updated about how it goes if you decide to contact them.
Hope this helps.
Hi Mikael, can you provide a link to where this info is validated on their website? I can’t find anything… Thanks “Luckily this is not the case on StockUnlimited. Any content you download while you have a subscription is yours to use forever. So if you just have a one-month subscription and download a lot of images, you do not have to use them all within that month.
Hi Nikolas,
You can find it in the FAQ section. Under the licensing questions it is the second bullet. Here is a screenshot of it:
Hope this helps.

Thank you, Mikael, for offering me with a new opportunity to find images and other audio music.I have always been facing difficulty to find images that describe the content I am writing.
I always believe to go for subscription in case of images, because you do not feel safe and confident to use someone’s images or repeated images over many websites.
Thank you again,
Abraham
Thanks for the feedback Abraham.
I also prefer using paid subscriptions when it comes to images – it saves me a lot of time, I know they are 100% legal to use, and I do not use the same images as everyone else, so I completely agree with you on that.
All the best,
Mikael
Thank you for this review.
I agree that as an internet marketer it is really important that I have access to a library of quality images I can tap into in order to make my blogs really successful.
I like that the library is large and covers lots of topics. I have tried free services in the past. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they don’t have the images that I am looking for.
It is great that they also offer music and fonts. The free services don’t offer this. It is good that if you buy an image you can use it forever, even if you cancel your subscription.
I was just wondering if you have used the infographic buttons before?
Hi Glenys,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, I have used some of the infographics – not very much yet, but the templates are a great way to get started without having to develop them completely from scratch.
All the best,
Mikael
Hey there,
I have been using pixabay for a good while now and I have been happy with the images they provide. However, I was thinking of trying out something different and someone recommended stockunlimited to me.
I have to say the value you get here is really worth it. I am going to give it a try and see how wells it works with my websites.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for your comment Dave.
I also used to use Pixabay – it has some good free options, but I got tired of the limited options and using the same images as all other websites are using:-)
And for a paid stock image platform, StockUnlimited definitely gives really good value for money. Hope you will enjoy using it.
All the best,
Mikael
It seems to me that there are other sites for images that are cheaper and get what you need. I have never heard of Stock Unlimited. I also thought it was interesting that they do clips as well. Which I haven’t heard of in any other site. Great article.
Tina-
Hi Tina,
If you know of other stock photo platforms that give you unlimited access to stock photos for a cheaper price, it would be great to know which ones. Many other stock photo platforms can cost a couple of hundred dollars per month, so from what I have seen, StockUnlimited gives really good value for money.
I know that there are free platforms, but the selection is limited there, and you cannot be 100%, you do not break any copyrights, so that is why I prefer a paid platform for images – it saves me a lot of time, it gives me a better selection of images, and I know for sure that I can use the images without breaking any copyright rules. But it of course all depends on needs, budget, and preferences.
All the best,
Mikael
Actually I am having a hard time to find free and good images for my blog. Since many images are very low quality.
I tried some paid ones too but these get expensive and more expensive. So I checked this one and quality is good and it matches the price.
Thanks for your comment Furkan.
I had the exact same experience with the free platforms as well and wasted so much time looking for images.
I was very happy to find an affordable option like StockUnlimited, so hope you will benefit from it as well.
All the best,
Mikael
