Questions

I just had 19 photos rejected under "quality issues" all shot with my GFX100 (102mp) 23mm lens After decades working as a pro, I'm having lots of fun with a camera always near me, but I will not let all the time shooting stock go to waste.I'm not going to resubmit my rejections... despite in the past nearly always working out and having rejected photos accepted sometimes on the 4th try.It's Adobe's loss as far as I'm concerned... I lifted my exclusive Adobestock only policy, and now will be uploading my entire library and everything I create to Getty Images as well, who takes too long to accept, but my only disputes with them is for unrecognizable locations that they say require releases, and accept everything Adobe rejects.  Have a Great Day!  

Hello, I have files to review, AI-generated photos that are 6 months, 5 months, 4 months, etc. ago and they are sitting in the review column. When do you plan to review these images? I think the review deadlines you described in the terms and conditions are not being met. Greetings!

Hi all.I requested a my payout on June 25th and it still says pending.Is it normal for it to take longer than ten working days?

Hello Adobe Stock team and fellow contributors,I requested my first payout on Sunday, June 29, 2025, to my Payoneer account. The payout status is still showing as "Pending" in my dashboard.I understand that the first payout may take longer, but I would like to confirm if this is still within the normal processing time or if there’s any issue with my account.I would really appreciate any insights or help. Thank you in advance!

Hi all. Who knows the truth?on the right is that if I have acquired 300 files, then I cannot send them all for verification. Every day I try to open files for review and with 20 photos ready before editing - send only 2 or 3 files. It happens in different ways. Who knows what’s behind the system, but in fact you can’t send files for verification.I know about the exchange of 400 files per week! And the files that I uploaded a month ago are still not sent for verification.In short, I upload more and more new material, but I can't send almost anything. it says that the files were sent successfully - but this is not true

Adobe recently removed this photo that I uploaded.  The reasoning was for "Intellectual property"?  I don't understand it 100%.  Could someone explain that better for me?  The odd thing is, I also have similar photos that were not removed and some with recoginizable buildings!  I made two sales off this photo, and then Adobe removed it after the fact....

I would like to ask for your advice regarding some files published in my account on Adobe Stock. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original (unedited) or submitted edited versions of these files.These files are still active in the account, but I can no longer retrieve them or recreate them.In this situation, what would you suggest – should I keep the files on Adobe Stock, or would it be better to delete them to avoid any future risks?

Hello, I made a payout on 26th June 2025, today is 9th July 2025, my payment is still showing pending.

Hi everyone,I'm a contributor exploring multiple platforms, and I recently started creating AI-generated images using tools like Midjourney and DALL·E. I was wondering:Can I upload the same AI-generated image file to both Vecteezy and Adobe Stock?Here's what I’ve found so far:Vecteezy allows AI-generated content as long as it's declared during upload (there's a checkbox for “AI-generated?”).Adobe Stock also accepts AI-generated content, but they require:Clear labeling in the title and keywords (e.g., “Generative AI”)A property release even if the image is AI-generated (especially when it contains people or recognizable elements)I’m not exclusive to either platform. So from a licensing and ethical standpoint, am I okay to upload the same image to both platforms?Also, is it better to slightly modify the metadata (title, description, or keywords) when submitting to different marketplaces?Thanks in advance for your guidance!Would love to hear from others who are contributing AI content on

I got 5 images stuck in the review process for more than 10 MONTHS now. Other assets get accepted quite fast and I uploaded hundreds in the mean time. But those 5 keep being stuck. What can I do?   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Hello. Appreciate your feedback. This is my first upload to Adobe Stock. I want to improve next time.

I have never used Adobe Stock.I was introduced to it by someone around me a while ago and tried to use it.However, when I clicked the button to use it for the first time (try selling), this window popped up.I contacted them by email a month ago, but I only received an email saying that my application was completed.I still haven't received a response. Anyone else having the same experience as me or know a solution? 

I have paid the premium on 26.06.2025 withdraw  still not paid. Pending 

Dear Adobe Stock Team,I hope you're doing well.I'm reaching out regarding the recent removal of several images from my portfolio. These images were uploaded over a year ago, approved by the review team at the time, and some of them were even licensed by customers.Recently, I received a notification stating that the images were removed due to policy violations, possibly related to AI usage or similarity to other content.I would like to clarify that I do not use any AI tools to generate my artwork. My content is fully created using Cinema 4D and the Octane Render engine, with a strong focus on originality and quality.I kindly ask for clarification on the specific reason behind the removal of these assets. Is there any reason for concern regarding my ability to continue uploading, or could this affect my contributor status on the platform?Thank you for your continued support and understanding.Best regards,Maamoun Albibi

Dear Consultant, Suppose I upload a vector image of a fruit. I will not tick the icon option. In this case, will there be any problem if I use the word icon in the title of the image?   [Moderator cured HTML formatting errors]

写真をアップロードしていますが11枚が8か月審査されず、そのまま審査中の中に残っています。何か問題があるのかと思い、再アップロードしました。しかし全てが審査中のままです。8か月前の写真を削除したいのですが削除できません。なぜ8か月も審査中のままか？削除できないのか？おしえてもらえませんか？

Hello everyone.I need some help. I filled out the Adobe form two days ago and still haven't received a response.Recently, when I tried to access my account, a message appeared informing me that I have "multiple accounts."I didn't understand the reason for this message, as I've always used only this email address.In fact, I continue to receive updates about shipments and earnings at this address.But when I log in, the message shown in the screenshot below appears.

Hello! My photos were not accepted due to quality issues. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with them? I'm new to stock. I want to get a better understanding of this 🙂

I have a question about AI-generated content and licensing for Adobe Stock.Can I upload vector images that I created by converting AI-generated images from ImageFX, Gemini, Whisk (by Google), or Ideogram? I used the free versions of these tools, and I vectorized the images myself using Illustrator before uploading.I know Adobe Stock allows AI-generated content if we have full commercial rights, but I’m not sure about the license terms for these specific tools. Since I don’t have a paid subscription, I want to be sure it's safe.Has anyone here successfully uploaded vectors derived from these tools without issues?Or is it risky — could it lead to file rejections or account suspension?I’d really appreciate any advice or experience. Thanks in advance!

Recently a lot of submissions were rejected due to artefacts/quailty issues. Cannot be, I am using Canon R5 gear and original Canon lenses. Pictures were taken on pure sunlight. Other stock companies did not reject the same pictures.

Hi everyone, For the past three days, all my submitted photos on Adobe Stock have been getting rejected. I receive rejections every hour, with 2-3 photos or sometimes even 5-10 at once, and none of my images are getting accepted. I always follow Adobe’s submission guidelines and ensure high-quality content, so this sudden wave of rejections is quite confusing. Has anyone else experienced something similar recently? Also, I’m wondering if Adobe has implemented any AI-based review tool that might be causing this? Could this be an automated system issue, or has there been a change in the review process? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
