Category: AI Search/Research

AI-powered stock photo search, describe what you want in plain language.

Stills' AI-powered search lets you search a stock photo library the way you'd describe an image to a creative, 'two people laughing at a kitchen table, warm light, candid', instead of keyword roulette. The AI parses the description, indexes images by visual content, and surfaces matches in seconds. Used by Mattel, Netflix, Accenture, Spotify, Prada. Worth knowing about if you spend any real time hunting stock for landing pages, social or decks.

Our verdict

Newer AI research tool with limited public footprint. Worth a look only if you're scouting emerging entrants in the category.

Best for: Designers and marketers who buy stock photography and want to cut search time.
