Why is PixelSquid being shut down?
PixelSquid’s transition to Shutterstock was driven by several factors, including storage limitations, aging infrastructure, rising operating costs, and a decline in both new content submissions and customer engagement. Moving to Shutterstock was the best way to ensure that PixelSquid content remains available to customers.
