The technical specifications of Snapshot images in the Storyblocks library are as follows:
Resolution: Up to 2160p, with a minimum frame size of 1600p
File type: JPG
Source: Every Snapshot is pulled directly from our 4K video footage, so the still image quality matches the source video.
Metadata: On the Snapshot detail page, you’ll see a direct link to the video it was sourced from — making it easy to pair stills with matching footage.
Releases: Where applicable, Snapshots include model releases and property releases for proper distribution rights.
Limitations: Because Snapshots are JPGs, they do not support transparent backgrounds (unlike PNG files).
This makes Snapshots a flexible option for projects where you want consistent visuals across both video and image workflows, with the tradeoff that they are flat images.
