Hi, hoping you all could help with a bit of feedback.  I am new to the contributor community and had a few submissions get rejected for quality issues and was hoping to shed some light on what the issues are so that I can correct going forward.  Thanks in advance!

Hello Adobe Forum Moderators and Staff,I urgently need your help regarding a severe technical glitch/loop on my Stock Contributor dashboard. Here is exactly what happened:1. I recently requested a category correction from "Photos" to "Illustrations" for my approved assets. 2. Following my request, Adobe support moved around 324 of my previously approved files back to the "Reminder" tab so I could resubmit them correctly.3. I began resubmitting them one by one, but after just a few files, the automatic system triggered a safety block, stating that my submission access is temporarily paused due to maximum limits.4. Right now, my "In-Review" / pending section is completely empty with ZERO (0) files, but my "Submit" and "Upload" buttons are completely frozen and grayed out. Because of this system loop, I am totally blocked from recovering my 6 months of hard work or uploading new content, which is severely impacting my contributor rank and monthly sales. Could an official moderator please

 I’ve been uploading AI-generated videos to stock sites for over a year; the acceptance rate used to be around 60%. Now it’s almost 0%. The moderator says the issue is with the quality. What has changed? Where can I see the specific problem?

I want to create a second account and sell my AI creations on that account. Is this possible?

Hello,I would like to kindly ask for your guidance regarding my recent AI video submissions. Over the past two to three weeks, many of my assets have been rejected, and I would sincerely appreciate understanding the reasons behind these rejections so I can improve the quality of my future submissions.I have already tried several improvements, including changing the video generation models and experimenting with different image generation tools and workflows. I invest significantly in these creative tools nearly $200 per month and I am continuously trying my best to create high-quality assets that meet the platform’s standards.As a contributor, I have already submitted nearly 15,000 AI videos and I am very passionate about continuing to contribute even more valuable content in the future. Therefore, I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly point out the mistakes or areas I should improve when submitting assets.Your feedback and support would mean a lot to me and would greatly h

I'd like to know why this photo was rejected.https://anytourl.com/s/82723584674406918

Bonjour, je démarre juste et j'ai énormément de contenu rejeté pour des raisons de qualité. J'aimerais comprendre pourquoi 

Sorry for my english, I’m italian, I’ve been publishing my photos in adobe stock since 2019 and I have about 900 photos in my portfolio, but the last 10 pictures have been rejected due to quality issues. My style is always the same, as the subjects, so I wonder why, it happened only a few times and now apparently they reject all the pictures.Thanks for the help!Cecilia 

Hello everyone,I joined Adobe Stock Contributor about two months ago and I mainly upload motion graphics / animation videos. So far, I have received 8 downloads in total, but 5 of those downloads came from the same asset.  Because I am still new to the platform, I am a little concerned and confused about whether this is normal customer behavior or if it could be considered suspicious activity or fake downloads. I have never tried to manipulate downloads or violate any rules.I want to know the best and fastest way to contact Adobe support for contributor-related issues. Should I use live chat, email, contributor support form, or another method?

One of my clients sent me stock footage from Shutterstock that was AI generated in Adobe Firefly, as they are cross selling the same footage on both platforms in violation of Shutterstock’s policy. The footage itself is terrible quality with doubled frames every couple frames as if they added a pulldown from 24p to 30p. I am sick and tired of having to deal with this poor quality stock by hack users, as I had to output an image sequence just so I could remove the random double frames. I have reported the user on Shutterstock and I’m reporting them here too:Shutterstock account with Firefly generated footageSame profile on Adobe Stock:The saddest thing is knowing how much of other users (and my own) 3D work has been absorbed by these generators who just spit out slop based on 30 years of dedication and discipline honing a real craft. I wish corporations were more ashamed of their absolute piracy.

Hello everyone, I need some help!​Many of my original handmade icons and unique AI surreal artworks were rejected on Adobe Stock for 'Similar Content.'​I am confident they are unique, as I've used distinct titles and keywords for every single file. It seems like the automated system is flagging them incorrectly. I have many other images that were also rejected for the same reason. ​Has anyone faced this? How can I get a manual review or fix this issue? Any advice would be a huge help!"

Hi friends,This file was rejected due to "similar content". I hope to receive criticism about the file so that I can improve in my future project.Any suggestions are appreciated. 

Adobe stock didn't accept my this EPS File... Any reason? 

I can't click the buttons inside the banner for free collection nomination (2026). I followed the steps to enable pop-ups, but nothing works so far. Anybody else is experiencing the similar situations? Any leads will be highly appreciated!

I am an Adobe Stock video contributor and currently experiencing the weekly submission limit restriction. Because of this, I am temporarily unable to submit my prepared videos for review.At the moment, I continue uploading my content as drafts and carefully preparing titles, descriptions, and keywords in advance so they are ready once my quota becomes available again.I would appreciate if you could kindly provide more information about:how the weekly submission limits work,which factors affect contributor quotas,and whether there is a way to increase my current submission limit over time. 

Hello Adobe Team, I found a third-party site “AdobeTrack” claiming to track Adobe Stock contributor downloads and analytics. Is this allowed under Adobe policies since no official contributor API exists? Please clarify if this is safe or violates terms.

Hi everyone,I am an Adobe Stock contributor. I have heard from many people that if you use the Drop Shadow effect in an Adobe Illustrator file, Adobe Stock may reject the submission, and that Drop Shadow effects should not be used in stock files.Is this actually true? I am feeling quite confused about this and would really appreciate some clarification from experienced contributors.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

my image looks beautifull in my opinion and is quite original nobody else photographed this train i also have one more that looks nice but got rejected for the same reason i also have one that got rejected for ip infringment but it clearly features a generic pharmacy sign (also the pharmacy was closed down when i took the photo) cna somebody explain if this is a fluke or what is wrong with my images (i understand there is a small mistake in the photo with a finger i belive being visible due to  a reflection i think but is that the whole reason?) 

Hello,I am writing here hoping an Adobe staff member can help escalate my case. My contributor account was deactivated on April 30, 2026, due to an automated flag for "suspicious activity."I filed an official appeal immediately and have received Case #00509138. Over the last nearly three weeks, I have followed up three times via email providing definitive, concrete proof that 100% of my content is original—including screenshots of my Adobe Premiere Pro editing timelines, raw camera/D-Log video file structures, and metadata. I have received no response or clarification from support.Check my file below:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NntnXGZovs1Zijd1C4hZnESLj6WrKNx9/view?usp=sharingMy account currently has a $400 pending payout on hold. I am a legitimate videographer and have never engaged in any fraud, account manipulation, or policy violations. I suspect my account may have been falsely flagged by an automated bot due to a sudden, clean spike in organic sales.Could a staff member plea
