Question

can it delete my accepted content add re-upload it with different category

I uploaded a some images that was generated using AI to Adobe Stock. While submitting it, I accidentally selected the Illustration category instead of the Photo category, even though the image looks photorealistic. The asset was accepted successfully, but I later realized that placing it in the Illustration category may reduce visibility and downloads because buyers looking for realistic photos usually search under the Photo section.

To correct this, I am planning to delete the accepted asset from my portfolio and re-upload it under the Photo category, making sure to mark it as Generative AI. This is not a rejection issue, but a category optimization issue to improve search performance and discoverability. Is that possible

I would not risk refusal for something so trivial.

  • Assets are randomly assigned to the next available Reviewer. 
  • A 2nd Review may result in refusal. 
  • Are you willing to take that risk?

You can delete and resubmit, but there is no guarantee the asset will be accepted the second time around. Personally, I would leave it.

This is what Adobe tells you to do:

Select the accurate asset type and add title and keywords. 

  • Submit your generative AI image as asset type: Photos, if it looks like it was captured with a camera and features photo-realistic subjects that exist in real life and respect human and animal anatomy.
  • Submit your generative AI image as asset type: Illustrations, if it features artistic illustrations or fantasy concepts such as imaginative depictions of people, food, animals, environments that one would not necessarily see in real life.

You will have to decide for yourself if the difference is worth it.
