Why Stocksy Downloader
Stocksy United operates as a curated co-op marketplace where photographers and videographers sell premium, royalty-free creative content. Once you license an asset, retrieving the full-resolution file means navigating to the purchase record, locating the correct resolution tier, and saving each item individually. For professionals managing multiple projects with dozens of licensed images and clips, this manual process adds up fast.
Stocksy Downloader is being designed to live inside the browser and connect with your Stocksy account. The goal is to recognize your licensed assets on any Stocksy page, surface quick download controls, and let you retrieve files at the resolution you paid for without hunting through account menus or repeating the same steps for every asset.
Planned Features
- One-click retrieval of licensed photos and video clips from any Stocksy page
- Bulk download support for pulling multiple licensed assets in a single action
- Lightbox integration to export curated collections after purchase
- Resolution selection matching the license tier associated with your account
- Automatic file naming using asset title, contributor name, and Stocksy ID
- Download history panel so you can track which assets have already been saved
- Browser-native operation with no desktop software or plugins required
- Cross-browser compatibility targeting Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox
How It Will Work
- Install the extension once it is released.
- Open the Stocksy website and log in to your account.
- Browse or search for photos and videos as you normally would.
- The extension detects assets on the page and shows download availability.
- Click the extension icon or the inline download button next to a licensed asset.
- Select your preferred resolution or format if multiple tiers are available.
- Confirm the download and the file saves directly to your local machine.
- Use the download history panel to review and re-download past assets.
Expected Formats
- Photos: JPEG and TIFF at the resolution matching your license tier
- Videos: MOV and MP4 clips at the resolution purchased through your Stocksy license
All exported files will retain their original quality as delivered by Stocksy. Metadata such as contributor name, asset ID, and license type will be preserved in the file properties where the format supports it.

- Video editors collecting licensed B-roll clips for commercial productions

- Detects supported playback sources only for user-initiated downloads or exports
- Does not execute page instructions, shell commands, or arbitrary scripts from page content
- Does not follow unrelated links or perform actions outside the active workflow
- Limits support to the named platform, approved embedded contexts, and user-authorized sessions when required

About Stocksy
Stocksy United is a stock media co-op that connects creative professionals with a curated roster of photographers and videographers. Unlike conventional stock agencies, Stocksy operates as an artist-owned cooperative, paying higher royalties and maintaining strict curation standards for its visual library. The platform offers royalty-free photos and videos for commercial and editorial use, but retrieving purchased assets still relies on the default web download flow. Stocksy Downloader is being built to simplify that retrieval process for users who want a faster, more organized way to manage the licensed content they have already paid for.
