This year, Adobe Stock celebrates 10 years of connecting creative people through content.  As the Stock business goes through a significant transformation, we're committed to making sure we serve the needs of both Contributors and customers for years to come.  Check out our 10-year anniversary blog which shares what’s ahead and hear from others that are part of our dynamic Contributor community.  We are grateful for the past 10 years partnering with you and look forward to shaping the future together. 

Hello! You may have noticed in recent weeks more content being refused as “too similar.” This is part of our ongoing effort to maintain the relevancy and discoverability of content within the Adobe Stock collection.    We understand that an increase in refusals can be discouraging, but this is an opportunity to refine your portfolio and submit your strongest content in future submissions.     To learn more about how to submit distinct content that stands out in our collection, please refer to our Learn & Support article.   Thank you for being part of our Contributor community!   

Hello! We’re introducing updated submission limits for Adobe Stock Contributors to help maintain the strength and quality of our growing collection. These updates support the continued success of both our Contributor community and customers alike. When you reach your weekly submission limit or the maximum amount of allowed content pending moderation, you will experience a temporary pause before you can submit additional content.

As mentioned in our Adobe Stock 10-year anniversary message, we are always looking for additional income streams for our Contributors.     Today, we are issuing our third Firefly Contributor bonus payment to recognize your continued support with helping train Adobe Firefly generative AI models.     The 2025 bonus is based on photos, videos, vectors, illustrations, and Generative AI content considered for training between June 3, 2024, and June 2, 2025, and the number of licenses that those assets generated in the same 12-month period.    A banner on the Insights > My Statistics tab in the Contributor portal provides the specific amount that was added to your account.  Check out our FAQ here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/firefly-faq-for-adobe-stock-contributors.html   

Our Contributor community is foundational to Adobe Stock’s success, and we are committed to supporting you with transparent communication. Adobe Stock is launching the first phase of its new Adobe Stock Unlimited Plan to select markets worldwide. Licenses under the Adobe Stock Unlimited Plan will be displayed in the Contributor Portal as ‘custom.’ All Adobe Stock standard assets will be made available as part of this new plan. We believe this new subscription plan will attract new customers, allowing for a potential increase in total Contributor earnings. We will continue exploring additional avenues of opportunity, exposure, and earnings potential, and appreciate your partnership.

 Hello! Today, we are introducing Customize, an Adobe Stock feature that enables customers to search and discover unique, high-quality content and then refine it quickly using generative AI.  We are excited about the ways that Customize will help customers quickly and effectively get the right asset for their project. But we also want to make sure that Customize helps Adobe Stock contributors as well. Contributors are compensated anytime their Stock asset is used as a generative reference or in an edit in Customize and then the result is downloaded, creating the potential to increase contributors' earnings.  Start exploring Customize today on Adobe Stock. 

Maintaining a single Adobe Stock Contributor account not only strengthens the visibility of your portfolio but also enhances discoverability and customer engagement, leading to greater earning opportunities. A single Contributor account provides more insightful performance metrics, optimizes search, and offers a seamless experience for customers engaging with your work.    Beginning March 25th, 2025, Contributors will no longer be able to create additional Adobe Stock Contributor accounts unless written approval is granted. We understand that certain Contributor businesses may have specific operational needs, and in those cases, exceptions may be considered. For information on how to request an exception, please refer to our Account and Submission Guidelines.    If you currently have more than one contributor account active, no action is required.
