About Shutterstock Downloader

Your Shutterstock subscription holds more value when you can pull assets in bulk. The downloader converts selected lightboxes or collections into a structured multi-file batch, saving hours of manual work. It filters by photo, illustration, vector, or video before transfers begin, so you get exactly what you need.

Duplicate detection flags asset IDs already in your local library, preventing wasted downloads. You can trust that every saved file is a new, licensed asset, not a repeat. The tool also retries recoverable interruptions, ensuring no batch is left incomplete.

Preserved IPTC and XMP metadata, including contributor details and license type, keeps your offline library ready for DAM systems. Asset IDs are added to filenames for easy tracking. This is how you turn a subscription into a streamlined, efficient resource.

Helpful for enterprise Shutterstock users

Our agency has a Shutterstock enterprise subscription and this extension lets us batch-pull entire collections for client projects. The duplicate tracking has saved us hundreds of wasted downloads.

Vector batch downloads are solid

I download Shutterstock vectors for packaging design and the EPS quality is usually perfect. Being able to queue 50+ files from search results is a massive time saver.
