Questions

I had photos rejected due to quality issues. I would like opinions on what the problems might be.

I design horizontal banners, and I need to see what the images will look like at an 800 x 250 ratio. Suddenly there are all sorts of options I don’t need but preview crop is gone. Is there a way to still access it?

My photos were rejected for quality issues, but I’m not exactly sure what I could’ve done differently. They were all taken with an iPhone, and I didn’t use any filter. Any feedback would be much appreciated

Hi!I submitted some seamless patterns I create manually, without any generative AI use. A first one was rejected and I’d like to fix the problem!I test each and every one to make sure it repeats seamlessly before uploading, they’re 2700x2700px at 300dpi.‘’Possible reasons:- Non compliant use of another artist’s name.- Undeclared Generative AI Content.- Content not compliant with overall guidelines’’I named it Seamless Robin's Egg Blue Gingham Pattern. Only thing I could see being a problem is the textured overlay I add as a last step.I’m not sure what is wrong with the file! If anyone has feedback, it would be appreciated.   

The title is "AI-powered film and television work" I don't see any quality issues with the picture. I hope you can point them out for me. Thank you. 

The image below shows a comparison between assets that were rejected due to similar content and those that were accepted. These were all reviewed within the last couple of months, and after the similar content rejection became an ongoing issue. I believe it is apparent in these examples that the reasoning behind the rejected assets vs. the accepted ones is seemingly quite random. I have also stated for some time that titles and keywords may have some bearing on whether assets are accepted or rejected due to similar content. However, in these cases, I made a concerted effort to choose unique titles and keyword and to place the keywords in an order such that the more generic ones appear last in the list. This may or may not have less bearing on whether assets are accepted or rejected that I originally felt. Or perhaps something has changed, since a couple of these images were resubmitted with changes and variations to titles and keywords and were still rejected a second time for sim

I am a contributor to Adobe Stock. I have been receiving continuous downloads for a long time, but suddenly, for the last two or three days, there have been no downloads on my Adobe Stock. This has never happened before. I get one or the other download every day. 

Hello everyone,Im new contriutor,My motion videos have been pending for about 9–12 days.Last approval was on April 6.Is anyone else experiencing slow video review currently?Thanks.

Hello!Just to know..  Can someone tell me what quality issues these photos have?Honestly, I don’t understand..  

I’ve had a very hard time getting anything approved recently. I’m seeing a spike in "Illustrative Editorial" rejections and "Similar Content" flags on almost all my submissions this month and last.My technical quality hasn't changed, but the rejection rate has skyrocketed. Is Adobe intentionally throttling manual uploads or tightening the "similar" filter to deal with the library size? It’s becoming a waste of time to upload if the goalposts have moved this much without notice.I was told as of early 2025, AI-generated images made up nearly half of the entire Adobe Stock library. Adobe is letting AI flood the well, but why would a buyer pay for an AI image that they can generate themselves in 30 seconds?

I came across an interesting portfolio - https://stock.adobe.com/be_en/contributor/207325322/quicklinestudio?load_type=author&prev_url=detail The author has an outstanding result. It turns out that some people can have only about 230 illustrations in their portfolio and almost all of them are in the top of the search engine in Adobe. Is this normal?

Hello,I am trying to register as a contributor on Adobe Stock, but I am facing an issue with phone number verification.

I generated this image using AI and upscaled it with Upscayl, but it was rejected due to quality issues.I’m trying to understand what exactly might be wrong. When I zoom in at 100%, the image appears quite smooth, but I’ve had other similarly smooth images approved before. And my all of my images both approved ones and rejected ones dimensions are 11264*6144 . and due to huge size here i am uploading the screenshot of my rejected image. And I have checked all generated with ai checkbox and submitted this as illustration. Also I have uploaded the screenshot of my image at 100%.So I’m not sure if the smoothness is the actual issue, or if there might be some other problem I’m overlooking.Could someone please take a closer look and help me identify the issue? I would really appreciate any guidance.

I haven't been seeing any sales from my Adobe Stock account for the past few days. My account was downloading daily and suddenly it stopped selling. What can I do now?

Subject: Contributor Account Suspended for Suspicious Activity – No Response from SupportHello,My Adobe Stock contributor account was suspended on March 5 due to “suspicious activity.”I have already submitted an appeal through the official form and followed up via my support ticket (Case ID: 00480569), including a recent follow-up on April 7. However, I have not received any response so far.I would like to clarify that I am the sole owner of the account, and all content I uploaded is original and created by me. All uploads were done manually using my personal device, without any automation tools or third-party services.If the suspension was triggered by a high volume of uploads within a short period, I fully understand and I am willing to adjust my workflow to comply with Adobe Stock guidelines.I respectfully request assistance in checking the status of my case or escalating it for review.Thank you very much for your time.

Hi everyone,I have a problem with Adobe Stock. For the past 3 months, I cannot submit any files. The “Submit files” button is always disabled and shows 0 files, even after uploading images.Before this, some of my files were rejected. Since then, I can’t submit anything.Has anyone experienced this?Is this an account issue or something I need to fix?Thank you!

I just do not want to do unpaid work for Adobe.I also want to point out a major flaw in this process. When I uploaded previews of these images to the AI checkers linked by a community member in an outline for reporting mislabeled AI images, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them failed to recognize the images as AI. It was only after I downloaded the LICENSED IMAGES and uploaded them to the AI checker, which directly gives these creators compensation. I was able to identify every preview as AI EASILY, just by se

This isn't a question. I am so thankful for the posting of rejected quality issue images, because I am learning so much about Adobe’s quality issues. Now I have an AI-generated image with all the quality issues mentioned in this forum, with corrections in the replies. I worked on this picture for 3 days, after generating, listening to every reply, and it got accepted. I am very new at AI..Thank you. 

Hello everyone,I am posting here because I am facing a very frustrating situation with my contributor account and I am hoping to get some clarity.My account was first deactivated on March 27, 2025 due to “suspicious or irregular sales activity.” I contacted contributor support and after several emails and a long wait, my account was finally reinstated on July 22, 2025 under Case #00386691.After my account was restored, I continued contributing normally and carefully followed all guidelines. In fact, I even contacted support to confirm that everything was fine and that no additional steps were required from my side.However, to my surprise, my account was deactivated again on December 11, 2025, with a similar explanation. Since then I have been waiting again for a response. My current support cases related to this issue are: Case #00463217 Case #00474767 This situation is extremely discouraging because: My account was already reviewed once and reinstated. I did not change my behavior
