Why are photos of an American flag being rejected as Intellectual Property? I have never had this problem in the past. I even updated the keywords in case it was one of them and resubmitted but still rejected for IP. It is just a close up, full frame photo of a flag. 

I have been an active contributor on Adobe Stock for a while, and I have always made sure to submit high-quality content that adheres to all guidelines and requirements. However, recently I’ve noticed that all of my files are being consistently rejected even those that are similar to or even better than files that were previously accepted I have tried all types of content vectors background images technology related visuals, health all of them are being rejected without exception.   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

I have been working on icon sets for some time now. Most of my sets get rejected due to "Intellectual Property Refusal," yet I fail to see any grounds for such a rejection. I wouldn't have minded if they had rejected them based on "similar content," but the current reason cited doesn't seem applicable to my designs.However, it is very difficult to accept that my designs are being rejected on the grounds of "Intellectual Property Refusal," especially since creating an icon set by hand is an arduous and time-consuming process. I humbly request the evaluators of Adobe Stock contributor designs to review and assess the submissions more carefully.I have been working on icon sets for some time now.

Can you help me with quality issues for my images? what maybe be worng?  

Today I went into my account, and to my surprise I had an Adobe Stock subscription I never signed up for. I immediately canceled it, which of course, given Adobe’s predatory practices, it charged me a small fortune for. I need some way of contacting support to 1. Remove this fee, 2. Reimburse any past payments which have been done without my consent. Has anyone seen this before? How do I get this resolved? I’ve used the products for this company professionally for myself and my business for a long time, but this shady practice is starting to make me reconsider finding a different solution for everyone, and stop paying a business which appears to have terrible practices.

They took 66 photos from my portfolio and added them to a free collection. But I only got $32.40. And I don't know if this collection is for a year or forever. Am I missing something?

Refusée car créer par l'IA générative selon adobe! C’est faux ! Cette photo est sortie de mon boitier Sony A7V. Le problème c’est qu’il n’y a aucune possibilité de contester la décision de rejet. Rien de surprenant sous le ciel d’adobe me direz vous. Que faire ? 

Hello everyone,I recently submitted 9 different photos to Adobe Stock, and all of them were rejected for “quality issues.” The images are not from the same subject or the same scene, so I suspect there may be a common technical problem in my workflow or editing.I would really appreciate constructive feedback on this photo and on what specific issues you notice: focus, sharpness, noise, exposure, artifacts, composition, or anything else that may make it unsuitable for Adobe Stock.Thank you very much for your time and help.

Most creators just add single word keywords for their assets while uploading. Is it the best practice or we can add long tail keywrods as well? Like a combination of our main keyword + supporting words? 

I had 10 images rejected for being too similar, even though the fish weren't similar at all. I was really upset about spending so much time on those images, so I wrote to support. I was told in this forum that support doesn't look at rejected photos. Somehow, all ten are now in my portfolio. Do you think it's because I wrote to support or because I put them up in the forum? I only put five of the rejected images, not ten. How do you think this happened? 

When I first started submitting AI-generated content to Adobe Stock, acceptance rates were around 90%, even though overall AI quality at that time was far lower than today. In the early stages I was submitting only 4K AI videos and they were consistently accepted. About a year later, my acceptance rate dropped to roughly 50, so I adapted and began submitting HD instead of 4K. Recently, however, things have worsened again, over the past month acceptance has fallen close to 10% for both AI images and video, even though I am still submitting HD and maintaining the same production standards.What’s concerning is that during this entire period, AI model output quality has improved massively, and my own selection and QC standards have become much stricter, yet acceptance has continued to decline.I’ve also significantly reduced my upload volume and now submit around 10 videos per day, all carefully curated and manually processed. Despite this, acceptance has not improved, and most recent rejec

Previously approved assets not appearing in search after account reinstatement.Hello everyone,My Adobe Stock contributor account was recently reinstated following a successful appeal.Since the reinstatement, my contributor profile has returned and is accessible. Newly approved videos are also appearing correctly in my public profile and Adobe Stock search results.However, I have noticed that videos approved before the account was deactivated are behaving differently. Their individual Adobe Stock pages are accessible if I open them directly, but they do not appear in Adobe Stock search results, and collections containing those older assets are not visible through their public links.Has anyone experienced something similar after an account reinstatement? Did the older assets eventually become searchable again, or did Adobe need to manually re-index the account?Thank you in advance for any insight.

Il sistema indica scarsa qualità in alcune immagini caricate senza specificare meglio quale sia il problema specifico. Nonostante i miei controlli accurati solo alcune immagini passano. Allego alcuni esempi di bassa qualità per non appesantire

Die Bilder sind ähnlich in der Größe: Immer 300 dpi und um die 40 MB 

I am a Adobe stock image contributer from India, recently my account deactivated without giving any reason. Account deactivated when I made a payout request, till date not received any payment and my account deactivated. Adobe should give an opportunity to rectify the problem before deactivating any account without any proper communication with the contributer.They should settle the payment before deactivating any account.

My files have been rejected because of similar content in our collection. How can I upload these files again now? The files that were removed are the icon set ones.

Hello! Good day.I've been trying to change the name displayed on my portfolio, I've tried changing it through the Manage Adobe ID page and replaced both my public profile name and the one in the Account Information Access tab but to no luck. Would appreciate it if anyone from the team helps me with this. Thank you 🙏 

Contributors, particularly AI contributors, often post here stating that they have problems trying to find areas in an image that need editing prior to submission. To help hone your skills at becoming more proficient at doing so, I created the before and after image included below. The top image is the original, and the bottom image is the result of making 16 edits. It was recently accepted following submission. If you’re interested, see if you can find all 16 edits. Some are obvious, some are subtle. The answer key can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/3shjr8zr  

The other day, my image was rejected due to quality issues. It would have been fine, but it took them almost six months to make that decision. Are there quality issues? Perhaps. No image is perfect, so you can always find something to nitpick. The only strange thing is that it took so long.

Meine Bilder wurde wegen Qualitätsproblemen abgelehnt. Kann jemand etwas zu den Bildern sagen? Bin absolut neu hier. Vielen Dank :)

Can someone tell me where to start with editing these photos? I am extremely new to this and have never edited other than on my phone. 

I’m wondering how many contributors here know about and are already using Topaz Labs products in their editing. Adobe announced today  (June 25, 2026) a definitive agreement to acquire Topaz Labs, a specialist in AI-powered image and video enhancement. The deal, expected to close in late 2026, aims to integrate advanced upscaling and restoration tools into Adobe Firefly and Creative Cloud.This is exciting news, since it will highly improve Adobe’s current Denoising and Sharpening capabilities. Ive been using both tools for ALL my clients and stock submissions, and recommended everyone trying it, understanding they will never look back.Congratulations to Adobe and us!
