Stillmore is an advertising creative agency for independent businesses that turns existing business photos into ready-to-publish promotional images, videos, and social captions. Choose what you want to make when you have an idea. When business gets busy, let the team arrange ongoing content from your saved photos. You can do both within the same service. Stillmore handles production, checks the work, and delivers it for you to publish, so you can prepare your next promotion without learning to edit or gathering every photo again.

  • Keep your business photos in one Library and reuse suitable ones for later content.
  • Choose the pieces that matter to you and leave other creative choices to the team.
  • Receive finished images or videos with captions, ready for you to publish.
  • Founding prices start at $29 per month for one video or six images.

What Is Stillmore?

The Stillmore content creation service gives small business owners a regular place to turn when they need something to promote. A shop might have a new product to show; a cafe might want people to notice its seasonal drinks. The owner knows the business and supplies photos of it. Stillmore takes on the work of turning those materials into finished content. You can choose a visual direction without also becoming the person who edits the video, prepares the image, and writes its caption.

Your Library makes previous preparation useful again. Photos of your products, space, or team can support different creative ideas later. A cafe, for instance, may already have pictures of its regular drinks and counter even when there is nothing new to photograph. Those subjects can still be worth showing. Add photos when your menu, products, or surroundings change, so the material available to the team reflects what customers will actually find when they visit or order.

Why Everyday Promotion Gets Put Off

A photo can be ready long before a post is ready. Consider a cafe owner who takes a picture of a new drink between orders. There is still a caption to write and a decision about how to show it. The afternoon gets busy, and the picture stays on the phone. Hiring someone for that one post can help, but the next promotion brings another round of finding materials and explaining the job. Even a small amount of preparation gets tiring when every piece begins there.

The U.S. Small Business Administration's guidance on planning your marketing connects preparation with a schedule and a budget. Before choosing a plan, write down the occasions and offers you need to cover. Separate the promotions you want to direct yourself from the everyday pieces you would leave to the team. For a dated offer, work backward from the day you want to post and allow time for production after the required materials are complete. This gives you something specific to plan and budget for.

How Stillmore Works in Practice

You can browse Inspirations to see the kind of content you would like for your business. Choosing a sample gives you something concrete to work from: its look, subject, and required materials. You can check whether a style suits a drink, a product, or a service before requesting it. Choose this way when you have a promotion in mind. You can also leave the selection to the team:

  • Choose individual pieces. Pick an Inspiration for the product or offer you want to feature. Supply the required photos and details, using suitable saved photos where available. You decide what to request; Stillmore makes the finished piece.
  • Let the team keep creating. Activate your service, add the required photos, and enable team creation. Stillmore selects suitable material and creative styles for ongoing production. You receive a notification when work is ready, without choosing every piece yourself.
  • Mix the two. Choose your own content for a new arrival while the team arranges other pieces. Both use the same account credits. You can stay involved in an important promotion without taking over every creative choice for the month.

The public From Source to Serve request page shows how a specific choice becomes a request. It asks for one food photo and a food or drink name, with additional fields for a logo and business name. A cafe owner can see what to prepare before submitting that style. Other Inspirations have their own requirements. After production and checking, the finished work is available in My Creations for download. The original photos can stay in the Library for another occasion; add new ones when your products or business details change.

How Stillmore Differs From Making Content Yourself

Making content yourself gives you direct control over every edit. It also leaves you responsible for getting each piece finished around the rest of your work. With Stillmore, you can choose the subject and the example you like, then hand production to the team. You do not need to work through an editing timeline to get that choice made. You still provide the subject and publish the result.

Part of the job Making it yourself Using Stillmore
Starting material Gather the photos or footage you need Supply suitable business photos; reuse saved Library material
Choosing the idea Choose the direction for each piece Select an Inspiration, let the team choose, or combine both
Production Assemble and finish the visual yourself Stillmore produces the image or video
Checking the work Check the finished piece yourself The team checks and refines it before delivery
Publishing Post to your chosen channels Download the delivered content and post it yourself

The finished piece should still look like your business. Stillmore's stated quality standard calls for accurate product shapes, colors, and text, natural-looking scenes, and a style that suits the shop. The team checks and refines the work before delivery. For a retailer, that means a distinctive package or product color matters as much as an attractive composition. For a food business, the featured dish needs to remain recognizable. The result needs to show customers your own products, with the details that distinguish them.

What Is Stillmore Best Suited For?

Consider a cafe on Growth Monthly. The owner could choose From Source to Serve for a new drink, supply its required photo and name, and use 3,000 credits for that video. Six images arranged by the team would use another 3,000, leaving 12,000 for other content. This hypothetical mix shows how a specific promotion can sit alongside routine updates within one allowance. It is not a fixed package or delivery schedule. The cafe downloads and publishes the finished work; Stillmore handles production and checking.

That approach can suit a retailer with regular product arrivals or a local service business with work to show. The owner can reserve attention for the subjects they know best while leaving other content to a regular production team. The service still needs suitable material and time for production. It also leaves posting with you. If you need someone to run your social accounts or want to control every edit yourself, those are different needs to assess before choosing.

How to Get Started With Stillmore

Start with one thing you would like more customers to notice. Look through the photos you already have and check the material requirements of a relevant sample. For ongoing content, think about the products or services you regularly need to show, not just this week's announcement. Compare Stillmore pricing and plans with that workload and your budget. Founding customer prices checked October 26, 2026; these launch offers may change:

Plan Price and billing Included credits
Try it $29 per month 3,000 each month: one video or six images
Growth Monthly $129 per month 18,000 each month: up to six videos or 36 images, or a mix
Growth Annual $1,188 billed once per year, equivalent to $99 per month 18,000 each month: up to six videos or 36 images, or a mix; not a full year upfront
Custom Studio From $1,999 per month; quoted separately Separate agreed production scope

One video uses 3,000 credits and one image uses 500; you can mix formats within your allowance. Read the delivery and credit rules before arranging a dated promotion. Team creation needs at least three Library photos for Try it or fifteen for Growth; individual requests follow their selected style's requirements. The five-day delivery period begins once the prerequisites are complete. Standard plans correct clear production errors but do not include additional revisions for a different creative preference; Custom Studio has an agreed scope. Keeping these conditions in mind helps you choose content you can use and leave enough time to receive it.

Conclusion: Choose Your Next Piece of Content

What is Stillmore? A continuing creative service for the moments when your business has something to show. You can choose the content for an important launch and let the team handle other pieces when you are busy. To see how that could work for your business, choose your next Inspiration and check what it needs. Start with a subject you know, let the team make it, and use the finished work on your own channels.

FAQ

What does Stillmore studio do?

Stillmore is an advertising creative agency for independent businesses. It makes promotional videos and images from suitable business photos, supplies social captions, and checks the work before delivery. You can choose specific content or let the team arrange ongoing production.

Can I use photos I already have?

Yes, provided they are suitable for the requested content. Saved Library photos can be reused. Team creation requires at least three Library photos for Try it or fifteen for Growth; individual requests follow the selected Inspiration's material requirements instead.

Can I choose content while the team keeps creating?

Yes. You can request an Inspiration while team creation is enabled. Both routes use the same account credits, so choosing additional pieces reduces the credits available for other work. They do not give you two separate monthly allowances.

How much does Stillmore cost?

The founding customer prices checked on October 26, 2026 are $29 per month for Try it and $129 per month for Growth Monthly. Growth Annual costs $1,188 billed yearly, equivalent to $99 per month. Custom Studio starts at $1,999 per month with a separate quote.

How do Stillmore credits work?

A video uses 3,000 credits and an image uses 500. You can mix formats within your balance. Try it includes 3,000 credits per month and Growth includes 18,000 per month, including when Growth is billed annually. Self-selected requests and team-arranged work share those credits.

How soon will I receive my content?

Standard-plan content is delivered within five days after the relevant prerequisites are complete. A self-selected request needs payment and its required materials. Team creation also needs the mode enabled, sufficient credits, suitable material, and the plan's Library photo minimum. Uploading an incomplete set does not start that delivery period.

Does Stillmore publish to my social accounts?

No. You download the finished work from My Creations and publish it to your own channels. Stillmore also emails you when work is ready. The service does not need your social media passwords.

Where can I find Stillmore reviews?

This is Stillmore's own service guide, not an independent review. When researching Stillmore reviews, check who wrote each review and whether they commissioned work. Public examples help you judge visual style; they do not establish typical results for your business. Compare the service terms with the help you actually need.
