Pickit, an aggregated image bank today announced their partnership with Microsoft to offer customers a better and faster image browsing experience for use in presentations, blog posts, and more. Pickit gathers high-quality images from professional image banks and its community of tens of thousands of photographers, making them available in a centralized market place, ensuring all images have legal clearance for publishing.

Pickit is now available as an add-in within Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Office Sway, and also as an app on any Windows 10 device.

Microsoft customers benefit from being able to find shots that possess an individuality and creativity not found in standard stock images; adding genuine authenticity to their work. People who can’t find a particular image can send a ‘Photo Mission’ request to Pickit’s community of photographers, who are briefed on the exact needs of the user, and can submit their work in response. Anyone can upload content onto the Pickit platform, regardless of their photographic experience.

“With its integration into Office, Pickit is supplying customers with quality images from directly within the Office applications they use every day, across a variety of platforms,” said Rob Howard, director, Office 365 Ecosystem, Microsoft.
