JumpStory - Visuals without limits
JumpStory is made with you in mind. We focus on relatable visuals that will help you tell your story and meet your goals.
We love visuals, but hate the cliché ones!
Our approach is very different from that of our competitors. Big businesses like
Adobe, Unsplash, Shutterstock etc. focus on the photographers. And have contributed to a world with millions of cliché-looking stock photos. On top of that, they’ve added complex licenses and pricing models.
All of this needs to change. That is why we created JumpStory. Where we focus on you! Because we don’t like clichés and stereotypes but love authentic images, simple business models, and great storytelling!
Everyone at JumpStory is either an entrepreneur or has a background in small
companies, so we understand your world. We’re always building stuff with the
goal of helping you reach your goals (faster).
How JumpStory is transforming the industry
JumpStory curates authentic images created by passionate amateurs. Images of real people in real-life situations.
We use machine learning (AI) to look for this kind of authenticity and to generate relatable images. So where some tech companies want to use AI to generate fake-looking images that feature unrealistic expectations, we’re going in the completely opposite direction. We want to contribute to a more authentic and real world. Not a fake one.
In the stock photo industry, amateurs are often viewed as less competent than professional photographers. The professionals complain that they don’t earn enough money, and that the amateurs and industry innovators are to be blamed for this. We couldn’t disagree more!
Amateur photographers are amazing at being the creative flies on the wall. They capture real life, as it happens, and they focus on the photo itself instead of thinking about staging, model releases, etc.
Professional stock photo photographers, on the other hand, tend to stage everything too much and overthink it. Instead of being the fly on the wall, they become the artsy dinosaurs in the room – resulting in all the cheesy-looking stock photos that you find everywhere on the internet today

The story behind JumpStory
In the Summer of 2019, our Co-founder Jonathan Low was invited to speak about JumpStory at one of the largest tech-events in Europe: LOGIN.

“Loved listening to Jonathan Low at the Login conference in beautiful Vilnius. Great insights – successful companies deliver the one thing that people DIDN’T know they really wanted …”
