Questions

 Hello everyone, first try to become a contributor here, I uploaded several pictures, several themes, but receive bad news and none was accepted, mostly on this repeated  message: Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise. ie this image of the sunrise-church was taken in iso 100 and F 11...🤔 and the one of the red bench in ISO 100 f8, so what is it? my lightroom preset?  Thank you for your comments 

I’m curious about how you all view your work on Adobe Stock. Are you treating it as a hobby, a side income, or is it your main source of revenue? I personally feel that most contributors use it part-time, just as an extra stream from their art, but I’m not sure—maybe some of you do rely on it full-time. What’s your experience—am I on track, or is it more of a mix?

I’m facing a payout issue and would really appreciate your help. Here’s exactly what happened step by step:On August 13, I successfully connected my Payoneer account to my Adobe Stock contributor account.I then made a payout request. Normally, when using Skrill in the past, my payments would arrive within 7 days.With Payoneer, I expected a similar timeline, but even after 11 days, I did not see any upcoming payment notification inside my Payoneer account. The payout still shows as pending in my Adobe Stock dashboard.Thinking something was wrong, I disconnected my Payoneer account from Adobe Stock.Now, when I try to reconnect the same Payoneer account, I get the error message:“Payout Information not accepted – Please use a Payoneer account that is valid and unique to your contributor profile.”My Payoneer account is fully active and verified with no restrictions. The issue seems to be on the Adobe Stock side, possibly because the payout was already in process when I disconnected the acco

Greetings to the forum participants. There have been no sales for six weeks. I've been working with Adobe Stock for several years and don't recall such a sharp drop in sales. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Hi,Recently some of my works have been rejected due to similar content.However, I can’t find those similar assets on Adobe Stock.Is there any way to see which content my work is considered similar to?

Hello,My Adobe Stock contributor account was deactivate 05.02.2026, and I believe it may be related to using a VPN.I have been trying to contact Contributor Support for over 2 months, but I have not received any response.Case number: 00479771I also contacted general support and social media, but they told me that only Contributor Support can resolve this issue.At this point, I am stuck and don’t know how to proceed.Could someone please help escalate my case or advise what I should do?Thank you.

Hello everyone,I’m writing to seek guidance and request a review regarding the deactivation of my Adobe Stock contributor account.I recently received a notification stating that my account was blocked due to a violation of the Contributor Terms and submission guidelines. However, to the best of my knowledge, I have not submitted any new content for some time, so I am unclear about what may have triggered this action.I have always made a genuine effort to follow Adobe Stock’s guidelines carefully. My work mainly consists of AI-generated images and videos created using tools such as Freepik Pikaso, ensuring that content adheres to licensing requirements and platform rules.If any of my previously submitted content has unintentionally violated the guidelines, I fully respect Adobe’s policies. I am completely willing to: Remove any content that may be in violation Accept removal of any associated earnings if required Take corrective steps to ensure full compliance moving forward I have

Some of my photos have been approved but do not appear in the public portfolio. Does anyone know the reason of the problem? 

This photo was rejected for quality issues. I would like to identify those issues and if possible help me to correct it.

My Adobe Stock contributor account was deactivated on February 10, 2026, due to “suspicious activity.” However, I did not receive any clear or specific explanation of what exactly was wrong. What is this “suspicious activity.” meanI have been a contributor for several years and have always tried to follow all guidelines carefully. I worked honestly, respected Adobe’s rules, and never intentionally engaged in anything that could be considered suspicious or abusive.I contacted support, but unfortunately, I only received generic replies directing me to read the guidelines again. I still don’t understand what caused the issue.I have a few important questions and would really appreciate any insights:Is it possible to restore a deactivated account in cases like this? What steps should I take to improve my chances of recovery? If restoration is not possible, am I allowed to create a new account? Would creating a new account violate the “multiple accounts” rule or another rules and lead to ano

Hi everyone,I have a few questions regarding Adobe Stock submissions and performance, and I’d really appreciate guidance from experienced contributors.When submitting images or vectors that do not contain any people is it necessary to always select the “No People” tag? Does it impact search visibility or ranking if this is missed? What are the best practices for writing titles and keywords to improve search ranking? My content quality is strong (especially handmade vectors, icon packs and graphic resource packs) which I believe are in demand across stock platforms, but my sales are still quite low. I’ve noticed an unusual pattern: whenever my vectors get approved, my sales drop to almost zero for 1–2 days and then return to normal. However some of my friends experience the opposite their sales increase after approvals. Is this normal behavior or could it be related to the Adobe Stock algorithm?I’d really appreciate any insights, tips, or experiences you can share. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I want to know what you think about AI image generators. They’re so good now that it’s hard to tell real from AI-generated. Do you see Adobe Stock surviving, or will it decline as more people adopt AI? Sure, some say people don’t know how to write prompts or know the right technical terms yet. I get that—it’s a hurdle now, but I think it’s just a matter of time. AI will get so good and easy that it’ll be easy for everyone. And frankly, I think buyers are caring less over time about the artist’s effort and creativity that goes behind it—they just want cheap, high-quality assets as conveniently as possible. What do you guys think are still the pros of Adobe Stock rather than any AI image generator that would make them still choose Adobe Stock? What do you all think?

Some of my photos were rejected by Adobe due to quality issues. What is wrong with this photo, and how can I improve it? Thank you

Hello everyone,I am encountering a persistent issue while uploading my vector assets. After uploading, the files show a "thumbnail" placeholder and eventually return the error message: "FILE COULD NOT BE ACCEPTED - Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately we were unable to process your file."I have checked my files for common issues (open paths, raster elements, hidden layers), and they seem to be clean. This error appears immediately during the processing phase before any human review.Is this a known server-side issue, or is there something specific in the EPS export settings that might be causing the Adobe Stock processor to fail?I have attached a screenshot of the error for reference. Any guidance from the community or staff would be appreciated.Thank you!

Hallo, eine Vektordatei wurde aus folgenden Gründen abgelehnt:Vielen Dank, dass du deine Vektorgrafik eingereicht hast. Leider entspricht sie nicht unseren Anforderungen.Mögliche Ursachen:– Nicht konforme Verwendung der Namen anderer Künstler oder Künstlerinnen.– Nicht deklarierte generative KI-Inhalte.– Der Inhalt entspricht nicht den allgemeinen Richtlinien Ich kann den Grund nicht verstehen. Ich habe den vektor selber gezeichnet (war ein Logo für einen Kunden der sich für ein anderes entschieden hat). Ich wüßte nicht was ich ändern könnte. Ich kann leider kein eps hier hochladen. Deswegen ein Screenshot der Datei 

Hi, I’m new to Adobe Stock and just getting started with contributing.I mainly shoot landscapes, flora, and fauna using my smartphone, as I can’t currently afford a dedicated camera. I understand that mobile photography is accepted, so I decided to give it a try.My first set of uploads was rejected due to IP-related issues, which helped me realize I should avoid including identifiable buildings or restricted elements. I then submitted a second set of images focused purely on nature, with no people or buildings. However, those were also rejected, this time citing quality issues (I have attached the images in question).I’d really appreciate any guidance you can offer on what might be going wrong and how I can improve my submissions to meet Adobe Stock’s quality standards.Thank you for your time and support!

For years, I have contributed my hard work and creativity to Adobe Stock. I invested my valuable time, effort, and skills to build a portfolio that not only benefited me but also enriched their platform. But suddenly, my account was deactivated without any clear reason. Adobe did not explain why, nor did they give me a chance to correct any mistake. One wrong step is possible for any human, but not giving an opportunity to fix it is truly unfair. I feel heartbroken that so many years of work seem to have no value in their eyes. Contributors like us deserve respect, transparency, and at least one chance to resolve an issue. Adobe Stock should remember — without contributors, their platform has no content, and without content, there is no marketplace. I hope Adobe reconsiders its harsh policies and treats contributors with fairness and dignity.   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]
