I sometimes come across businesses which are permamently closed. Should I avoid taking photo of them or take the shot and uplaod them as editorial images? Thanks for replying!   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

I submit AI images.Until now, I've had some success by limiting my submissions to just one image rather than uploading a large number of variations of the same thing, and by using creative metadata and composition to create unique images.Although some images have been rejected as being too similar,my overall approval rate has been around 30% to 50%.However, over the past few days, all of my images have been rejected, dropping to 0%.Has Adobe made any official announcements recently about changes to their review criteria? Does anyone know?（I used Google Translate, sorry if it's hard to understand.）

 Hi everyone,I recently submitted an illustration to Adobe Stock, but it was rejected due to "similar content." I want to clarify that this is an original piece that I hand-drew myself. I’ve never uploaded any other version of it to Adobe Stock—not even the version with text.The character and design are completely original and not AI-generated. I’m trying to understand what existing content Adobe thinks it’s similar to, but I haven’t been able to find anything that matches.If anyone has experienced something similar or knows how to get more details from Adobe about these kinds of rejections, I’d really appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm a texture artist, and I wanted to upload my works on Adobe Stock, but after posting like 50 images, Adobe is telling me, that my other works are Similar, when i basically went through this similar content, and not only didn't find any textures like mine, but also found 100+ images that look exactly alike, and that are right now in the stock. Here i provide the example of "similar content" that are hand made seamless 4k textures in arctic style. But there are many others. Not event mentioning providing camouflage in colours/patterns that are not event avaliable on stock.My question is simple: how it is even determined, what is similar, and what is not. Is it some kind of dumb bot, or some adobe employee, that doesn't really care.

Hello!Can't find how to change the collection name. Please tell me is it even possible?Thank you

Hi.. can someone tell me why that picture is rejected?

Buenos dias Me acaban de rechazar 14 fotos de un viaje que realicé por Italia. En otras ocasiones los rechazos los indican por Problemas tecnicos o por Propiedad intelectual, pero en este caso en las 14 solo pone "IMAGEN FUERA DE LAS NORMAS" y las siguientes opciones:- Uso indebido del nombre de otro artista.- Contenido de IA generativa no declarado.- Contenido que no cumple con las directrices generales Las fotos son mias y en los tags solo he indicado los nombres de los lugares, no de personas. No estan generadas por IA y he leido las directrices generales y no encuentro el motivo de rechazo. Adjunto un par de ellas reducidas de tamaño ya que el original no me deja cargarlo. Que puedo estar haciendo mal?  Muchas gracias

I'm a new contributer and I uploaded some of nature images and all of them got rejected but one saying quality issue but I find no difference in quality with the one got accepted and I'm looking for a model release form if someone can help.

After much thought, I created a logo based on a unique idea, but it was still rejected due to similarity. When I know the reason, I cannot find anyone similar to it. Suppose that if there is even a slight similarity in someone's work, then it should not be rejected. It is up to the buyer to decide where to buy it.

Dear Adobe Stock Contributor Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am seeking clarification on a specific matter and would appreciate your assistance. Until now, I have been using Midjourney to create AI-generated images for submission to my Adobe Stock Contributor account. Last month, I purchased a ChatGPT Plus subscription and created vector graphics. When I inquired with ChatGPT about uploading these vectors to Adobe Stock and Freepik, I received confirmation that I could do so. However, I was also advised to verify whether there are any policies in place regarding this matter. Therefore, I would like to seek guidance from the senior members of this community: Can I upload the vectors I created using ChatGPT to Adobe Stock? Thank you for your help! Best regards, Md Shahidul Islam

Kindly implement to set the limit of maximum earning per day based on the contributor average earning per day additional may add some extra earning  per day which is suggest not suspicious from adobe site if adobe set the limit of maximum earnings per day once the contributor reach that limit automatically turn off download from that contributor then turn on next day the download if they do so then genuine and sincere contributor does not affect and wait for long time for reactivation for the blocked account due to suspicious sales because higher sales does not control by contributor hand if high slaes happen from someone end instead of being contributor affected adobe can implement the maximum limit of earnings per day to contributor then it reached lmit then it is good for contributor and community will grow .

Hi,My son and I are both contributors on Adobe. We have separate accounts, separate devices, separate payment gateways. I work with PNG images, and my son works with both PNG and JPG images. Around 80% of our work is based on different thinking and ideas. The only thing we share is the same Wi-Fi network. Is there any chance of this having a negative impact on our accounts, or are we safe? Please if possible tell me details.Thanks in advace 

I've been receiving 'Similar content already exists in our collection' rejections for many of my submitted assets, even though my work is visually distinct from what's available when I search Adobe Stock. Has anyone else faced this issue? Do you have insight into how the system defines 'similar content'—is it purely visual, based on keywords, or something else? Are there best practices that have helped reduce these rejections for you? Would love to hear your experiences and any tips for navigating this frustrating situation. Thank you!

I have 300+ collections in my account. All the vector designs I have been uploading for the past few days are showing similar issues but I saw with Google Lens that there is no such design. Now what is the solution?

Hello,I recently submitted several astrophotography images to Adobe Stock, but all of them were rejected. The files I uploaded include: These images were created from multiple exposures and processed using astrophotography techniques (composite stacking, noise reduction, calibration, etc.). However, all of the source images were captured by myself, and I hold the full copyright to the final works.I carefully ensured that the submissions meet the technical requirements (resolution, noise level, sharpness, framing, and composition). However, I did not receive a detailed explanation of why they were rejected.Could you please provide more specific feedback regarding the rejection reasons? For example, was it due to:Technical issues (focus, noise, exposure, artifacts, etc.)Metadata or keywording problemsContent suitability for stock use I would like to understand the reasons so I can improve my submissions and ensure that future uploads meet Adobe Stock’s standards.Thank you very

Hello everyone! Some time ago I started uploading AI-generated videos to a stock site. I currently have over 1,000 clips uploaded. At first, about 30% of my submissions were rejected, but in recent weeks that number has increased a lot. I’ve seen top-selling videos with obvious artifacts, for example, a hand passing through a person’s body, and they still got accepted, lol. Honestly, it’s confusing; I don’t understand how moderation works. In this thread I’ve posted several of the rejected clips, maybe you can point out what might be wrong with them and spot artifacts I’m not seeing?The video files are too large, so I uploaded them to Google Drive.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QGxT7qlPFwE3GvRzWf10gEXE-m0QIbQ8?usp=drive_link

Let me know if I'd like to hear feedback from other contributors, consider sharing my work in the Academy Board Forum. How can I do that?

Hello, I have lot of images pending for review for more than months, i have Two images pending for over 11 months, will they be ever accepted or rejected, or what should i do, ist very limiting, because i can send just 100 images for approval and then wait and i can send less and less images. So my question is what should i do, how could i fix it ?Thank youTom

I was doing searches within my own portfolio to make sure I wasn't submitting a duplicate asset and, despite using keywords I often use (woman, fashion), I kept being told nothing could be found and to "try your search outside of portfolios."   So I got more specific and entered the exact title of one of my assets (second one from the left at the bottom with the pink and blue makeup). It showed up, but I also got the notice that nothing could be found and to "try searching outside of portfolios," as per the example below.    I've been seeing posts of people with drastic drops in sales, and from others having issues finding their own images in the database. Is something broken?  

There are multiple accounts that are deactivated, are there a lot? Because not everybody will place threads on the forum Are there people who's accounts were reactivated. How did you do it? Are tips you can people. Copy past text from guidelines, you can find them on adobe. Not useful Like to hear personal advices from who people who solved the problem For the deactivated people. Good luck

I put a fake DOB when I created Adobe account. Now I want to join Adobe contributor and I've uploaded my passport so I want to fix the issue but I can't find where to change it.
