As it says on that screenprint in the blue banner, reviews can take up to 8 weeks. Many Contributors are reporting delays of 2-3 months or even longer. There's nothing you can do to hasten the process. Be patient.

I have been waiting more than 5 months for some of mine to be reviewed.

We've been recommending that anything over 5 months be deleted and resubmitted. That said, my older, passed-over assets were eventually reviewed.

I'd love to know what changed.  I used to have images reviewed in HOURS sometimes, at most days.  Now, I've been waiting for almost six weeks.

The Adobe Stock Moderators approve and add more than half a million assets to the database each week, which probably means that they review considerably more than that. They also seem to be prioritizing reviews of AI assets right now. Obviously, Contributors continue to submit hundreds of thousands of assets a week, because the backlog seems to remain quite high.

Stock receives thousands of submission per week.  Review times can vary from 1 to 3 months depending on the season & how many other assets are ahead of yours in the wait queue.  Be patient & work on other projects. Everyone must wait their turn.

 

In the meantime, work on your Adobe Portfolio site and get familiar with your Stock Contributor User Guide. 

 

Good luck.

You have nothing to do. Adobe takes three to four months to save so you
have to be patient

what do you suggest should i upload all pictures because right now i was trying to implement strategy to upload few and see what's response on them and then later i do rest. since it's not working like shutter stock so should i go for all uploads?

i just submitted 7 and was thinking that let's see response on them and after that i may submit more but first batch isn't approved yet even after 27 days, so what do you suggest should i upload all batch. i guess might be around 40


Upload a handful, say 4-5, each day, after carefully checking the quality and entering the titles and keywords. If your account is new, your submission limit is 51. Once you've reached that limit you won't be able to submit any more until some have been reviewed.
