I just want to know the specific reason why my designs not accepted i made it by self on paper with pen then comvert it digital using canva  . I am seriously pursuing it to upload atleast minimum 5 designs on adobe on daily basis. Tell me exact reason so that I can make changes. I didn't use AI at all to create designs but use Gemini for tittle and keywords.

Please tell me exact reason so that I can understand and make changes.

    Hand drawn doesn’t mean it meets Stock’s requirements. Read your Contributor User Guide. It contains important information that every contributor must know.

    • What was the rejection reason? 
    • What did you submit to Stock? (Post the full-sized image here.)

    Auto-traced conversions of drawings to vector graphics are rarely successful.  

    For best results, manual tracing is usually required which can be both tedious & time-consuming.  

     

    Adobe Illustrator is my go-to vector graphics editor.  I’ve never used Canva, and after reading about Canva’s copyright issues, I probably never will.  That’s not to say that Canva isn’t decent software. I just don’t trust it for content that I intend to use commercially. 

     

    “Canva grants you a license to use their elements, templates, and fonts, but you do not own the copyright to them. You cannot trademark designs made using Canva's library, nor can you transfer copyright ownership of these elements to clients or publishers.”

    There’s no attachment visible...at least not to me.  Did you scan as jpg and it’s 4mb at least?
