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.

Well, as you may know, traditional stock photos help people for years. So let’s enjoy some of them at Pixmac! It’s called “Luxury collection” and we’re beginning with a hundred thousand pictures from Image Source. And you know what? That’s just the start. We’re working already on multiple traditional agencies to have them there for you.

Vitezslav Valka says: “It’s crazy to get it all on the Pixmac site in the easy way, but we’re powerful enough to make it. And we’ll make it soon.”

Still not enough? Really? Ok. Pixmac have something more for you. New easier Power Search. It’s nicer and works better. Lightbox is now called “Favorites” because it’s easier to understand for everyone. And there is a lot of tweaks and tune-ups on the Pixmac website and inside it. All that together is a sign of a new era where you play the main character!

Imagine one place for any picture. Imagine simple website where you can buy a photo in just 3 minutes. Imagine world without registration forms and credit packages, world without expiration. That is not an illusion. That’s Pixmac.

The Pixmac microstock agency is proud to announce that we now offer 7 million stock photos for our customers. Only a few competitors can say the same. Our collection consists of 3 sources. Two are creative and one editorial called “Celebrity”. Pixmac is the fastest way to get a stock photo or illustration for your design for a price that might surprise you.

When the pink company launched its marketplace in September 2008 it might have seemed like just another microstock company that is trying to make it. But look how much we have grown in a year! Pixmac has partners in 9 major markets and its sales are growing faster than expected.

Our company is  growing faster than other competitors in the microstock market according to respected site Alexa.com and  the amount of pictures grows with it. Not only that, Pixmac invented the “One Stop Shopping” way to get inexpensive quality photos in a matter of seconds without need of registration. Lee Torrens, a well known microstock blogger, says: “I LOVE your one-stop-shopping idea! It has always been a missing element of microstock agencies…” Yes, Pixmac focuses on speed and user friendliness.

Pixmac offers a lot now and has more in the oven to offer our customers. For example, Pixmac is working with a University on a project that will change your searching abilities and will make searching quicker and easier. We are also adding another few million photos to the database soon and working on some nice stock photo searching tweaks.

This week we’re launching a new updated website together with features such as Moneybookers payment method which added with payments by PayPal and/or  Credit Card. Also we have included a popular feature that sorts search results by downloads or date.

Vitezslav Valka (CEO) comments: “I’m always thrilled to see our customers happy with the user interface. Everybody deserves an easy tool that just works. I’m watching everything that happens in the company and believe me, it’s better than Red Bull and Duracell together!”
