Question

Has anyone else experienced a sudden drop in Adobe Stock downloads in 2026?

Hi everyone,

I'm an Adobe Stock contributor, and since 2026 I've noticed a significant drop in my downloads. My portfolio quality and upload frequency have remained consistent, but sales have decreased noticeably.

I'm wondering if other contributors are experiencing the same issue. Has Adobe changed its search algorithm recently, or is this mainly due to increased AI-generated content and market competition?

If you've experienced a similar decline, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts or any strategies that have helped improve your downloads.

Thank you

    Since a vast number of assets are constantly being uploaded, maintaining a top search ranking is likely difficult.

    Additionally, including terms unrelated to the title or keywords could result in a penalty.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Could you please suggest a few unique niches that are currently worth creating with AI for Adobe Stock? Also, could you recommend any reliable tool for generating accurate titles and keywords?

    Thank you very much for your guidance.
