Getty Images filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will go private through a restructuring agreement expected to close by the end of the year. The move follows the collapse of its planned merger with Shutterstock and mounting competition from AI-generated imagery. The overhaul will erase $2.1B in debt as the visual-content provider attempts to reset its balance sheet.
