Fotolia closes its forte on November 5, 2019

Adobe closes Fotolia on November 5, 2019!

In 2015, Adobe acquired the stock market leader Fotolia for $ 800 million with the goal of strengthening its position. In the same year, Adobe launched its own image service Adobe Stock, in which the main collection of Fotolia media can be found and was fully integrated into the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Fotolia customers can find almost all the image content they know from Fotolia on Adobe Stock and now have the opportunity to get to know and take advantage of the great benefits of using Creative Cloud applications through Adobe **'s migration and migration offer.

What's changing for Fotolia customers?

** Fotolia account **. The Fotolia website will be shut down on November 5, 2019. Fotolia customers can access their account until then. From 5 November 2019 then no access is possible, i. Credits or subscriptions can no longer be purchased and media can no longer be downloaded.

** Fotolia API **. As early as May 6, 2019, the Fotolia API program was discontinued, i. It will not be possible to access Fotolia through the API. If you still want to use an API, you can switch to the Adobe Stock API.

Switch to Adobe Stock - Transfer and Migration Offer

With the Adobe transfer and migration offer, Adobe offers all qualifying Fotolia customers the ability to convert unused credits and / or downloads (monthly subscription) to credits and downloads from Adobe Stock. In addition, the previous Fotolia license history, all light boxes, galleries and account information will be transferred to the new account at Adobe Stock.

This means:

Much work for the individual user - or not?
