Fotolia celebrates 12 million milestones

Fotolia is super excited to celebrate two  major milestones: ten million images and two million members. These are complemented by  several other expansion projects and partnerships already announced this year, including one with Microsoft.

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, “Localised 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 licence 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 localising. Fotolia will be a household name when it comes to downloading images,” says Tscheltzoff.
