Fotolia Review
For the latest updates about Fotolia:
Fotolia provides a community where huge numbers of artistic photographers and artists can showcase and sell their artwork to buyers who need imagery in the form of pictures and drawings. It is also a community which is well-known for its stock images that come royalty free and is an excellent place to buy, distribute, and view illustrations, imagery, and photographs.
Why Choose Fotolia?
The website itself is easy to navigate, and the list of categories is convenient, easy to use, and pretty user friendly. There are several search options available, which allow you to search by collection, productions status, keywords, or theme. Utilizing search engines in this way, coupled with a rather expansive and still growing number of stock photographs, buyers are able to easily hone in on the type of imagery they want, and also rather painlessly. Unique content abounds on Fotolia, and makes for an easy search, no matter what you might be looking for.
One of the great things about Fotolia is the fact that anyone can showcase and sell imagery, not just famous artists or photographers. This is one of the reasons why it is such an awesome atmosphere for hobbyists and those just getting started. Since the site is very easy to use, and accessible to anyone, it doesn’t matter who you are, you can showcase and even sell your photos and find stock images on Fotolia.

So, if you are looking to become famous, make a fortune, and live like a high roller off of the high paychecks you will be getting for your stock images, Fotolia might leave you disappointed. If, however, you are an artist or photographer who loves images, and would like to offer your gifts to others around the world for a reasonable price, then it sounds like Fotolia may just prove to be your home away from home.

Recently Microsoft promoted adding a Fotolia ribbon to their MS Outlook and MS PowerPoint programs. Part of the promotion was an offer of extra credits and other things if the user of these two MS programs did in fact add the ribbon and sign up with Fotolia. On Fotolia’s website they say to receive the additional credits and service you need to have a cell phone. Here is the text quoted from their own website explaining that the offer can still be provided if you don’t have a text capable cell phone, “After you fill in your mobile phone number, we text you with an authentication code so you can get your hands on the free downloads. … If you don’t have a mobile number, you can still redeem the offer by emailing or calling customer support” When I sent Tech Support this quote and my need for the offered credits and my lack of a text-capable cell phone they answered back, “… the activation code can only be sent to a cell phone number by SMS text. ” Therefore they do not honor MSoft or their own website. BAD customer service!!!
