Questions

Hello Adobe Stock Community,I have recently noticed that many contributor accounts are being blocked with the message “Account blocked: Suspicious activity.”Could someone please clarify what “suspicious activity” means in the context of Adobe Stock contributor accounts? What types of actions or situations typically trigger this warning or lead to account deactivation?Thank you. 

These were all rejected for “quality issues” and list many reasons to what it could be. Can anyone point me in a specific direction to why they were rejected? I cannot figure out what the issue could be, but that could be my bias getting in the way of a clear answer. Too bright? Composition? Blurry backgrounds? Thanks!  

Hi, I just tried uploaded few photos I took and edited and got rejected because of the quality issues. I am very new to photography and selling photos online so I don’t really know what I’m doing. I take photo as a hobby and haven’t got serious although I still want to know why my photos got rejected in more details (the one they gave me give me no clues lmao). I would really appreciate it if anyone with experience could give me some comments on my photos.(I have reduced the quality of the photo to post it here because it doesn’t allow me to upload big files)Thanks a lot guys !  

 Dear Adobe Stock Support Team,I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue regarding a payment that was processed on March 3, 2026. The payment amount of $26.09 shows a Payment “pending" status in my Adobe Stock dashboard, and it has now been almost 9 days without resolution.Could you kindly assist me in resolving this matter as soon as possible? Please let me know if you require any additional information from my side to facilitate the payment process.Looking forward to your prompt assistance.Best regards,[muntazer sifat]

Hi, I’m new to Adobe Stock and have received some rejections due to 'Quality Issues.' Since the feedback is very general I’m struggling to pinpoint the exact flaws so that I can improve my work for next time. Can someone experienced give me som feedback on my rejected pics? Thank in advance!  

Hello. My name is Nayyab Gull . Why my Adobe Stock account was deactivated.What specifically did I violate? I always tried to follow all the rules. Could this be some kind of mistake? What should I do? How can I reactivate my account? Plz Help me

As-salamu alaykum guys, I need some guidance regarding certain type of fuzziness or shadowing in the image, introduced after upscaling. I attached two images, first one is the image which has that issue of fuzziness or shadowing, introduced after upscaling and the second one which is the enhanced version of first one, don't have that much issue left. I able to fix it by using pixel cut background remover, i just simply remove the background and then add white color again and this helps resolve the issue to some extent or may be all. My concern here is that even after doing this technique when I saw the second image, I feel some shadows or fuzziness inside the logo or main box or wall type structure, now is this my own feeling and image is fine or image itself is still not completely fine. Just see it and comment what you guys think of it as I am a new contributor  and don't know much about such issues. Also now is it, valuable for the buyer to buy such an asset and ethical for me to se

Hello everyone,I have been uploading content to Adobe Stock for over a month and currently have around 50 videos in my portfolio. Most of my work consists of background videos.I would like to ask when new contributors’ content usually starts appearing to customers. Is there a certain review period or a minimum number of uploads required before the content becomes more visible in search results?Thank you in advance for your help.

I just registered on Adobe Stock Contributor and failed to add a mobile number. I have tried several times but still failed to add a mobile number

Just a little warning to contributors.I recently submitted a photo which was refused with a “quality” rejection.After examining the photo, I did find some issues that might have been the cause for the rejection so I corrected them and resubmitted. Unfortunately, the photo was once again rejected. I decided to replace the background which I now determined might have been too noisy. A sigh of relief, on the third submission the photo was accepted!Now, I have received an email that my account has been flagged as “spamming” and these three photos were given as the assets resulting in my warning.Was it wrong to try and correct my “quality” mistake? I don’t think so. However, it is obvious that all submissions (approved and rejected) are used when flagging “spamming”. When repeated, this will result in an account being deactivated.  

I'm creating images with AI, and at first I thought the "quality issues" rejections were due to resolution (I was uploading at 4.2MP, 2K).Then I upscaled them to around 12-16MP, but they still got rejected for quality issues.The real problem is that some images get accepted while most don't, even though they all have exactly the same pixel count… and the same quality, i think.What's wrong with my images?(I can’t uploud the upscaled images here bc the file is too big).  

I have been contributing to Adobe Stock for over a year and a half, and yesterday my account was deactivated for a Terms Violation. I believe I may have been the victim of a scam.On February 23, I was contacted on Behance by someone claiming to own a small Christian company with a limited budget. The website looked somewhat generic, but still believable for an early-stage project.This person wanted to hire me to create a loop video of Jesus walking on water, based on a video I have on Adobe Stock. I ended up giving them the original video from my Adobe Stock portfolio for free through Behance messages. After that, the person never thanked me and stopped responding.On March 5, my Adobe Stock portfolio was suddenly blocked without any prior warning. A few hours later, the website of that Christian company went offline. I have some screenshots of the website and the full conversation on Behance.The situation becomes even more concerning when I recall that there were other contributors wit

I have been contributing AI-generated images to Adobe Stock for the past 3 years. I’ve noticed that some AI images from other contributors are marked as “Premium.”However, I don’t see any option in my contributor dashboard to select or mark my best AI images for Premium status. Is there a specific setting or process to designate images as Premium, or is there another way to get my content featured as Premium?Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I need help. I  uploaded my some images in several batches. after got reviewed I tried to find my images and didnt find any of my images even tho the images has been accepted and uploaded. As I waited and uploaded a few  more images. and the new images approved. I can't find any of those images in search with my keywords.And I realized, when I clicked my Image Number ID, I can't even open the image informations and my public profile is also cannot be found as well..Is my uploaded image been hidden i am so confused.

I have already uploaded my video and image files. and they have somw downloaded too. but when I click on file ID, there go to “page not found” 

My work was rejected on the grounds that it was created using - Non compliant use of another artist’s name.- Undeclared Generative AI Content.- Content not compliant with overall guidelines:I affirm that I created the work myself, And I didn't use anyone's artist's name. This is the image title. ---- "Futuristic Synthwave Background with Retro Neon Grid and Starry Galaxy"and I have evidence. I would like you to review it again. If the quality is not satisfactory and you still reject it, I accept the decision.  

So basically i got this message.Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, this image doesn't meet our quality standards so we can’t accept it into our collection.Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise. Learn more about our technical requirements here. Can anyone please tell me where is the problem ? I remember I did denoise i belive at the photo with an railroad brigde. The winter nigh landscape i think i did not do the denoise of sky. The auroa borealis i idid a very little of manual denoise. Thank you for any advice 

It possible to make money on free plan: https://app.leonardo.ai , selling images on Adobe Stock ???

Hello everyonedeleting my image after several sales, And I really don't know where the problem lies, is it in the title or in the image itself?   

  This is the picture. It’s a RGBSHO Image taken with a QHY268m and processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. No genAi used - just denoise and deconvolution. Can someone help me understand why such a picture is rejected with the reason “intellectual property”?Thx SK PS: the uploaded Version to Adobe Stock is w/o the watersign (bottom left)

From a few hours my Adobe contributor portfolio homepage shows no report, no earnings, no assets. Just this message: “There was an issue loading the page. Please reload the page.”Of course reloading doesn’t help at all. It’s just me or a general error?
