Dreamstime stock photos at Pixmac
October 28, 2009
The world will not be the same again. Pixmac brings two big microstock players to one place. Imagine one place for almost any picture. You’ll get simple and fast user interface and you know what? You’ll get a fair price. And that’s not all.
You may know Pixmac as a Fotolia reseller. Now it changes. There is no agency like Pixmac any more. Pixmac now sells millions of Fotolia pictures, millions of Dreamstime photos, their own Pixmac collection, fresh Celebrity pics and that’s just the microstock.

One Stop Shopping at Pixmac
August 27, 2009
Many of you searching for photos were confused with credits, our virtual currency. Pixmac has solved that now for you. You don’t have to learn what credit is and you even don’t have to register at Pixmac if you need just one picture.
Helpful tool for photographers
August 17, 2009
We are browsing websites all the time to find useful tools that can help our users to work with their images. Recently we have found some applications that can be worth trying – tools for invisible watermarking, searching for those invisible watermarks online and debluring and denoising images. We are in contact with Filip Krolupper – the leader of developers of those applications so we have asked him several questions.
There are always some photographers who are not quite satisfied with their microstock agency. The same thing seems to be happening at Apple App Store. Why does that happen? How to avoid it or fix it? After almost a year of Pixmac service being up and running, I’ll try to find answers.

Pixmac will be unavailable on Thursday, 30th July 2009 from 7pm to 7.30pm GMT (1am to 1.30am EST). We are upgrading our hardware and unfortunately that will interrupt the service.
We apologize for the inconvience and we will be back up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for visiting Pixmac and we hope to see you back again soon.
