I was very disappointed in my experience with Deposit Photos.
I mistakenly purchased the incorrect standard video version at 240p. I needed the traditional standard option.
When I reached out to customer service, they would not let me convert my remaining credits over in order to purchase the ONE video in standard quality i needed.
So then, I purchased the ONE video I needed in the correct resolution, and they would not refund the REMAINING credits. Wow! They are so rigid - not good customer service at all!

Very interesting photos, I am disappointed that the vectors are an additional charge to my subscription. Overall a great resource for my weekly newsletter

Scam artists, they have an auto-renew on their subscription policy, there is no cancel button or method without calling them. Currently working on getting a refund.

Love the expansive library of images to support our business marketing. Each photo have different sixes for download with great quality finishing. New to the platform, but a big fan

I found Depositphotos 2 years ago while I was in search for cheaper stock pictures for a school that hadn't that big budget. Well, I found it! I started out as a customer and graduatly became a contributer, thanks to a great supportive community

depositphotos.com is a junk and they still money from users.
I frequently charged my account to buy photos... and frequently it dissapears credits from account. I didnt see that, until now, when I saw that I have 0 credits.
On my account page there is not page where I can trace history of money an credits.
I asked the support to tell me why I have 0 credits... and after 4-5 emails exchanged... they told me the credits expire after a period.
What is this?!? My money dosnt expire, but your credit does?!?!?

Hello from Israel. I bought a pack of 25 images in 100 dollars. I don't recall downloading more than 25 images (and I saw only 25 images in my PC) but maybe while picking images, indeed either from a human error or a technical problem of the input devices - browser interaction, 1 more image was downloaded.

Do you think DepositPhotos charged me only for this one? NO! They charged me for 1 more pack in another 100 dollars! That is, they charged me for 200 dollars in total and told me "I can't" have a refund. Only after locating the CEO's email (Dmitry), and many emails that several seemed to be ignored, only then I was asked to pay for the images alone.

I got an awful taste from DepositPhotos. They are ruining they're name that they developed as a very serious company with this attitude, they have no mercy on themselves, no desire to develop their businesses as should be done. It's insane. I will take me some time to digest that and I'm not sure I'll use their services again soon if at all, after charging me automatically like that on a whole package just because one photo and without any warning.

On 1st April I've received an email with a 15% discount promo code" from depositphotos.com"

I have signed up and subscribed for 100 images per day which they charged me $560.15 using skrill payment method.
Invoice No. '- S-*******
Note: I have everything screenshots, invoice, payment info and all emails

After 3 days they blocked my account for no reason, without even sending me a notice or warning. I tried to contact them but no one answered my call I contact their live support, the only message I got from them was "Please, write to *******@depositphotos.com"

All emails and phone calls to seek an explanation have been ignored. And any attempt to highlight complaints on their Facebook page leads to an immediate ban.

Before filing a complaint against depositphotos, I tried to contact but unfortunately they ignored me and the only message I got form them was "Your account has been detected as a participant of fraudulent activities."
They refused provide me any explanation and refused to refund my money forcing me to contact BBB for help, and once I filed complaint they sent me a full refund. Thanks to BBB.org for helping me

I purchased one month subscription and do not remember subscribing for Auto Renew. For my surprise, they have been charging me for 2 months straight and when I reached to their customer service, they offer to give credits for use and NO MONEY BACK. Sad part is there is NO WAY to remove the credit card details from their site... BAD PEOPLE... MAY GOD PUNISH THEM...

I went to other stock sites after Deposit fanged their website. It was too hard to use. Came back recently and am happy to see it simplified again with great pricing options now.

Great Service
December 2, 2018

Deposit Photos provides great photos at a very reasonable price. It allowed me to get my start-up business site up and running when I didn't yet have many of my own stock photos.

Hard moderation process
January 18, 2021

It is highly recommended by many of my friends (web designers). I can freely sell my photos here. But not all of them can pass moderation. That's why I use few photo stocks at the same time.

I am an amateur photographer and was looking for some decent backgrounds to use. DepositPhotos had some of the best selections and by comparison, reasonably priced.

Depositphotos is so bad words fail me
If you buy cheap subscription you buy twice, please avoid them, they will charge you monthly and if you ask for help it takes days for them to answer a support ticket, they won't help you with live support or phone call they blocked me for no reason, after I filed a complaint with BBB they reactive my account but I will no longer use their service, Depositphotos is a 100% Pure Fraud - F#6k them Just look at the complaints on google or BBB. Sorry I would give no stars if possible. They even don't deserve 1 Star. Absolutely ridiculous, do not use this service avoid it.

I lost 20 Eur + VAT due to DEPOSITPHOTO unfair method. I bought monthly subscription plan. After 1 month it some how, magically was renewed! I am sure I press Auto-renewal OFF" when I bought it. I complained to custoMer service. They offered me to change my "2 downloads" into "20 credits", and to keep credits for 1 year. They couldn't offer a refund...
I will search for another, safer stockphoto website.

In this day and age, with so many options for stock photos etc... just go elsewhere. Deposit lock you in to ridiculous terms of service, so you cannot use images outside of an active subscription.

A reasonable low-cost plan for a large selection of quality photos. I have been very happy with my experience. It's nice to have a resource that doesn't break the bank.

Terrible
March 24, 2016

They overcharge my card on two separate occasions. I tried to get the customer service on the phone and they basically told me "it isn't their problem."

Beware of this company, and stay away.
