About the uniqueness of images that must be uploaded to adobe stock

Hello everyone. Is there a tool that can detect images, where the image has already been uploaded on adobe stock?

I am worried that when I have edited for a long time and when I upload it, it is rejected by adobe stock because the uploaded image is very similar or has too many similarities with images that already exist in adobe stock.

Use the Stock Search Tool to compare your content keywords with available Stock inventory.

How to submit distinct content to Stock:

Be Selective: Submit only the strongest variations from a shoot or creative idea.

Diversify Metadata: Adjust metadata for the unique attributes of each submission as repeating the same titles and keywords for similar submissions can lead to content being refused.

Think Like a Customer: Imagine you’re searching for content. What looks redundant and what kind of content do you want to discover?

Even if there were such a tool, it wouldn't be accurate. Many images being rejected as too similar are arguably quite unique or even one of a kind, while "similar" assets are in fact sometimes accepted. That said, what you can try is to go to stock.adobe.com and drop your image on top of it to search for similar images. Then it's up to you to determine just how unique your own image is compared to the results.
