I'm experiencing a severe loss in image quality when uploading to Adobe Stock. The photos look high-quality in my mobile gallery, but the quality degrades drastically upon upload. What could be the issue? Please note that I am already upscaling my images beyond the minimum size.

 

what can I do in this situation?

      Bear with me. By mobile gallery, you mean your cell phone? In that case, yes, you’re looking at what are basically thumbnails of your assets and when you upload them to stock, their actual quality is more apparent. We have always recommended examining assets at 100% to 200% percent on a desktop computer before submission. Are these photographs or AI? There is usually no need to upscale images taken with an actual camera.

      Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I take them in my cell phone’s camera. Should I upload them by my computer, not my cell phone?

      Absolutely. Moderators view assets at 100%-200%. If you’re uploading directly from your phone, is also suggests you aren’t editing your assets before submission, no matter how good they might look on your phone.
