Burst by Shopify

What do you like best?

I love the open Creative Commons licensing terms. We don't have to pay a licensing fee, stick to editing restrictions, or provide a photo credit to the photographers to use the photos for business purposes. I support acknowledging the creative works of photographers as much as possible, but there are usually times when crediting can adversely affect the presentation of the photos in our marketing media. There just isn't always room for it to be shown in a professional way. Burst by Shopify has a humongous selection of photos from top quality photographers. I don't really see a significant drop off in quality compared to higher cost stock websites.

What do you dislike?

I don't like that they only offer two resolutions for download and don't even show what the file size and dimensions of those downloads are. I'd rather have more resolutions available so I can quickly download and insert photos with minimal editing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you want a fast way to get stock photos without having to pay high fees that have to be paid every year for licensing, Burst by Shopify is a dependable website for stock images that can give you access to numerous stock images for common business topics.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Burst is a good source for stock images that we use for our marketing materials such as email newsletters, pamphlets, posters, digital ad banners and web designs. We can load the website and download photos at full resolution without having to sign in or go through a lengthy registration process. It's a good time saver when we don't have much time to work with and need photos quickly.
