I am a brand new Adobe Stock contributor.  I uploaded my first image 5 days ago and it is still marked as "under review".  I am worried that I have done sometghing wrong.  How long is typical for a review to take?

Correct answer MatHayward

Images are reviewed manually in the order they are received. The wait time varies based on the number of images in the queue. Generally the wait is between 3-5 days however it is running a bit longer this week due to the volume of content we have received.

Thank you for your patience,

Hi,

I just found this thread. I have images that I uploaded 2 months ago that are still in review.  Is this normal?

No, that’s not normal, even for slow reviews. Please contact Adobe Contributor Support for help (« Contact us » link at the contributor page footer).

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Someone must have been listening as the first of my uploads were reviewed this morning.

Thanks again!

So 7 months is not normal. My first images are still waiting.

Correct, 7 months is not normal. It looks like you created your account in Fotolia after we stopped accepting contributor accounts there. That account was never validated and can only be used for the purpose of customer purchases.

Please create a new account with your Adobe ID directly in the Adobe Stock Contributor portal and resubmit your content: contributor.stock.adobe.com

I came in looking for an answer to the same question.  Apparently I created a Fotolia account a couple of years ago and submitted a few images that were never reviewed.

I submitted 20+ images over the weekend and was wondering what would be a realistic time frame on review.

How do I find out if I need to create a new Adobe Stock account?

Hi Mat!

This is not the case for me. I sent in 5-6 illustraions 2 days ago and they got rejected today ( quaility issue) which is ok.

But I have 120 images waiting for review since 2 weeks in different styles, alot of them holiday themed so important to get review.

So I´m a bit worried that reviews on my other 120 are forgotten or why would they prioritize my new send ins over old ones?

 

Thank you in advance!

Matt rarely visits the forum these days. Everyone is experiencing delays and nothing can be dne to expidite the process. 2 weeks in nothing compared to the 8 weeks or longer that other contributors have been waiting. All you can do is be patient.
