Dreamstime started in the year 2000 as a site for users to purchase royalty-free stock images for use in their projects. The site was redesigned as a community-enabled provider of stock images in 2004 to compete with similar sites such as Shutterstock and iStock. By November of 2016, the database of photos available on Dreamstime included 49 million unique files uploaded by various users. Currently, users may access 64 million images on Dreamstime and the community includes 18 million members. Dreamstime is led by CEO and co-founder Serban Enache and its headquarters are located in Brentwood, TN. Any user may upload photos to contribute to the growing database on Dreamstime and will receive a percentage of the license purchase price paid by users who wish to use the photo, which may range from as low as $0.20 to thousands of dollars depending on the photo in question.
