I’ve recently noticed a significant drop in my downloads on Adobe Stock. Earlier, my content was performing well, but now it has decreased. What could be the reason, and how can I improve my performance?

Recently, I have noticed a significant drop in my downloads on Adobe Stock.

My portfolio mainly consists of AI-generated PNG images (isolated objects, transparent backgrounds, design elements, etc.).

I am still uploading similar types of content regularly and following proper titles and keywords, but my downloads have decreased.

I would like to understand:
- Is this due to algorithm changes?
- Has AI PNG content become too saturated?
- What improvements can I make to increase downloads again?

Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Short answer: Give customers what they want.

Long answer: Fluctuations in downloads are a normal part of sales. Consumer spending is effected by many factors including customer demand, trends, seasonal demand, competition from other content, the war, the economy, and other variables that we have no control over.
