Shutterstock, Inc., a global creative platform connecting brands and businesses to high-quality content, has added a content connector to Anthropic's Claude. The company’s platform brings together users and contributors by providing readily searchable content that customers pay for licenses, compensating contributors as their content is licensed. Contributors upload content to the company’s web properties in exchange for royalty payments based on customer download activity. Shutterstock offers licenses to metadata associated with its images, footage, music tracks, and 3D models through its data offering, distribution, and advertising services from its Giphy business, which consists of graphics interchange format visuals (GIFs). It also offers specialized solutions for content matched with production tools and services through Shutterstock Studios. Its content offering includes images consisting of photographs, vectors, and illustrations, and footage consisting of video clips and cinema-grade video effects. The company employs 1,565 people.
