I am a brand new Adobe Stock contributor. I uploaded my first image 6 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

Contributors

Correct answer Jill_C

I have uploaded my traditional illustration on adobestock, but up to 29 days still under review.

Reviews in that category are now taking 2 months or longer.

In case you're new I'll advise you to be patient and you must alos not upload your same image multiple times as it can also result in the rejection of your images.

Additionally, you can also explore the guidelines of adobe (spam link)

Moreover always make sure that you completely follow the Adobe guidelines.

OP asked this 2 years ago. It has been answered. There is no need to wake up an old thread. Well, except if you are a spammer!

I started my profile new as well and it's been 15 days since i uploaded my pictures (total 6 of them) and still it's showing under review. these pictures are not AI generated. i don't know what i should do. shutterstock seems faster though, they do it in 5 days or so. any help here? thanks.

Many contributors are reporting waits of 2-3 months or longer. There is nothing you can do to hasten the process. Be patient.

I've been a contributor for over five years, and I've been currently waiting for 8 days. My last upload took over two weeks. I'm beginning to think Adobe doesn't like me anymore.

Don't take it personally; it appears to be a "first-in/first-out" system, and the Moderators are slammed by the huge influx of AI assets, which has slowed down the process considerably. If you're submitting photographs, you can still expect them to be in a reasonable period of time; but if you're submitting AI stuff, the wait could be 1-2 months. My last small batch of photographs took about 6 days.

I am in the same boat and the review is taking a long time. Its been 10 days since i submitted and still under review. All of my images are AI Art related.

That's not a long time. Not yet. Expect 2-3 months, such is the flood if AI work needing detailed review.

yes agree mine have been waiting over 3 months so have left them in situ and now uploading to my other stock libraries - shame really as with the ablity of AI development couldn't a different method be utilized and separate the two on the dashboard and in the human inspection process...or will AI now be the way foreward for artist creators instead of the 'tradional' illustrator? NO DISRESPECT TO ADOBE but communication would be an excellent way to settle the creative contributor...thank you again...as have posted previously on this topic..

What category? As long as your pictures are under review, you do not have a problem, except for waiting. The only time to worry is, when your ID did not get approved. That would mean that the assets would stay indefinitely in the review queue.

As for the rest, review times are between one day an a week, with the exception of the illustration's category, which gets flooded by generative AI.

If you are new to stock, you should consider these resources: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/tutorials.html
Please read the contributor user manual for more information on Adobe stock contributions: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/user-guide.html
See here for rejection reasons: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/reasons-for-content-rejection.html
and especially quality and technical issues: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/quality-and-technical-issues.html

If you are a generative AI contributor, please look into these instructions and follow them by the letter: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/generative-ai-submission-guidelines/td-p/13549435

As you said, I have done the summit without violating your guidelines, so will it take more time to review if I create it using AI?

Yes it does appear that generative AI assets are routed to a different queue and are taking significantly longer to review than other asset types. My photographs usually take 3-4 days.
