I'm new to Adobe Stock. I've only uploaded two photos so far, and unfortunately, both were rejected. I'd really appreciate any tips or advice. Thanks!

​@jess.vera,

You don’t have to answer questions about yourself from random internet strangers. It’s cringey. That’s not how we operate here. 😉

Read your Contributor User Guide. The submission requirements for photos, vectors, videos, illustrations, and GenAI are thoroughly described.  Start here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-photos/photo-submission-overview.html

Compare your best work with Stock’s current inventory. To get accepted, yours should meet or exceed the visual & commercial appeal of competing assets. 

• As a customer, would you buy it? 
• What would you use it for commercially? 
• Can it be improved to make more sales?  

Discard your assets that don’t meet Stock’s acceptance standards.

For better answers, we need to see a full-sized rejection and the reason for refusal. 

Hope that helps.

That’s a broad question, that has endless answers. 

Tell us about yourself, from 1 to 10, rate your photography skills.

The next are more important questions and worth taking a few minutes to think about.

Why did you become a stock contributor, what are your expectations. And, based on your skills where do you believe you need the most help?

Give a public answer, you are also welcomed to DM if you prefer digging deeper into your answers!

Cheers!

We need to see the rejected assets to be of assistance. You can upload them here. There is a 5MB limit, so you may need to reduce the size of your submissions while keeping them large enough to view properly.

If you want further feedback regarding the reasons for rejection, post the images here.
