I have access to a few image databases and I find myself using more of the Depositphotos images because their search function is very accurate so I can find the images I'm looking for fairly quickly. I also like how they show related images or searches because it helps spark creativity. The image selection works well for background designs and enhancing messaging. I'd say their free image selection is not as robust as other sites. If you are looking for free images you'll find high-quality and professional options here but you may be limited in the options. That said, I trust Depositphotos many times more than other sites. It seems they do a pretty good job at keeping their database clean from plagiarism.

Even though Shutterstock is currently the best place to buy creative stock assets and there is a lot of competition, I have used Depositphotos a lot because I think it has the best collection and selection of creative assets at a reasonable price. The site is also convenient to use because it's easy to find your way around and the licensing system is simple and works well. In the last few years, I've gotten some of the best stock photos, graphics, and illustrations for my business from Depositphotos. I hope that this great relationship with Depositphotos as a user will last for a long time.
