Microstock Calendar

With several expansion projects and partnerships already announced this year, including one with Microsoft, Fotolia is celebrating two more major milestones: ten million images and two million members.

Since entering the market five years ago, Fotolia has quickly emerged as one of the leading global providers of affordable HD photos, vectors, and videos. Co-founder and CEO Oleg Tscheltzoff credits Fotolia’s success to key competitive advantages. He explains, “localized and custom sites provide our customers with content and styles relevant to their regions. Usability also sets us apart. We’re one of the only major microstock sites to offer a royalty-free license that allows images to be used without limits on print quantities, geographical placement, or length of use.”

Developing innovative solutions for contributors and buyers quickly shot Fotolia’s membership to two-million. The company was the first to partner with Microsoft on a free image plug-in for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint and just rolled out a Fotolia Desktop AIR application that supports one-click image downloading, along with drag and drop lightboxes.

With ten million images and two million members, the Fotolia team remains focused. “This is a very competitive market. We are determined to keep expanding and localizing. Fotolia will be a household name when it comes to downloading images,” says Tscheltzoff.
