Title: How to disable (not delete) your portfolio on Shutterstock
Post by: Snow on May 27, 2020, 10:04
Some people don't seem to know how to disable their portfolio(s) so I'm going to post the few steps here:

- Go to your contributor account page
- In the right top corner go into the dropdown menu under your contributor Name and select Account Settings
- From here you can enable/disable the License Options for images and videos by selecting the checkmark Yes/No next to image sales and footage sales. Selecting No will obviously disable the portfolio. From what I have noticed is that this will take a few days so keep that in mind.

Some screenshots for those who rather look at pictures then read the text  :o

Are you sure this actually disables your account? The png seems to imply that you're just not letting people use your images for anything defamatory, deceptive, pornographic, etc...

It removes your images and videos from sale I've done it and they are rapidly disappearing.

There used to be another option - to opt out of "Sensitive Use". When they removed that choice (earlier this year, I think), they put in some language to make us feel better that we no longer had an option about type of usage.

You can disable your portfolio, without deleting it, with these options. At least until Shutterstock changes the interface...
