Hello community,   I'm an Adobe Stock contributor and recently received a sales notification email (see excerpt below) stating that my earnings are subject to U.S. tax withholding until I complete the "Tax Center" process. However:   1. **My W-8BEN form is already approved** (visible under *Account Settings > Tax Information*),  2. I continue to receive these withholding warnings in every sales email,  3. **The "Tax Center" is nowhere to be found** in the contributor dashboard.   **Excerpt from Adobe's email**:  > "Hello Daniel,  > We are pleased to inform you that one of your files has been sold...  > ...Until you complete this procedure and the appropriate form is validated, your Adobe Stock income will be subject to automatic withholding..."   **My issue**:  - Why am I being asked to complete the Tax Center process if my form is approved?  - Is the Tax Center a separate step beyond form submission

Hello everyone. Is there a tool that can detect images, where the image has already been uploaded on adobe stock? I am worried that when I have edited for a long time and when I upload it, it is rejected by adobe stock because the uploaded image is very similar or has too many similarities with images that already exist in adobe stock.

Why I am getting rejected for non-compliance reason for my Silhouttes submitted images ?

Last year, I experimented with AI image generation models and uploaded some of the outputs to Pixabay for review. To my surprise, a few of these illustrations became quite popular, collectively reaching almost a million downloads!I'm now considering uploading the top 5 images from my Pixabay portfolio to Adobe Stock. My main concern is that these popular images might have already been secretly uploaded to Adobe Stock by others, which I've heard happens frequently to Pixabay creators.Has anyone else dealt with this? Do you think it's still safe to upload these images to Adobe Stock, or am I risking a problem? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice!

Hi everyone!I’ve been generating some AI images with Leonardo that include text—like posters, banners, etc.—and now I’m unsure about uploading them to Adobe Stock.The text was added directly within Leonardo using their built-in tools, so I assume the fonts are embedded in the image. But I haven’t been able to find clear info on the licensing of those fonts, and I want to be sure I’m not violating any copyright rules.Has anyone here uploaded AI-generated images from Leonardo that include text? Do you know if Adobe accepts those, or do you avoid using text in your AI content altogether?Would really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice. Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,I'm an Adobe Stock contributor and recently went through a difficult time after losing a close family member. Because of that, I couldn't upload any files for about 5 days.Before that, I was getting regular downloads and approvals. But now, even though I've started uploading again regularly for the last few days, none of my files are getting approved, and I haven't had a single download. I'm actually working on vector and png files.Is this normal after a short break? Or is there something wrong with my account or portfolio? I would really appreciate any advice or insight.Thank you in advance!

I already requested my payout on Friday, June 27, 2025. Today is July 7, and I still haven't received it. Can you please tell me the exact time when I will get my payout? I will Really appreciate for it.

I am new to Adobe Stock and wanted to know why my photo got rejected.

Title:  Need Feedback on Rejected AI Images – Quality Issues  Body:  Hi Adobe Contributor Community,I recently submitted a few AI-generated images, but unfortunately, they were rejected due to "Quality Issues." I'm trying to improve and would appreciate your feedback to understand what went wrong.Here are the 4 images that got rejected:1. Galaxy Sky with Observatory – (Category: Landscape)  2. Man on Laptop with Glowing Hearts – (Category: People / Lifestyle)  3. Office Brainstorming with Sticky Notes – (Category: Business / Teamwork)  4. Hand Holding Phone with Neon Light – (Category: Technology / Conceptual) The rejection reason was quite general, so I’m unsure if it’s due to lighting, details, composition, or AI artifacts. Could someone please take a quick look and advise on what I can improve?Thanks in advance for your time and support!

I made a withdrawal on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Usually, it's already in PayPal by the following Saturday or Sunday, but it hasn't arrived yet. What's going on?

I'm deeply concerned about the rejection of similar images. I spend my entire semester break to AI generate high-quality 1800+ images to update my portfolio. But now I'm facing the so-called "similar image already uploaded" rejection. I'm looking for a good alternative to get a reasonable income for my time. Please share your knowledge.    [Moderator cured the topics. Please do select only relevant topics.]

Hi all! New contributor to Adobe Stock here.I've been uploading several raster and vector illustrations in the last couple of days. One has been rejected for quality standards, which is fine and I can understand, but a couple more have disappeared from the review page without a formal rejection or explanation. Is that a common practice here? I'm a bit confused right now. By the way, I'm attaching a low-res JPEG of the formally rejected illustration. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!

This phot was rejected and I'mn looking for constructive feedback on why and how I can improve.  thank you

Hello everyone,I’ve recently submitted several images to Adobe Stock, but unfortunately, many of them have been rejected with the reason stated as "quality issues." One of the rejected images is attached below for reference.I'm trying to understand what exactly might be wrong — is it the lighting, composition, realism, sharpness, or perhaps some technical detail I'm missing? The image was created as a transparent PNG in a clean and isolated style, and I’m unsure why it didn’t meet the quality standards.I would really appreciate any honest and constructive feedback from fellow contributors to help me improve.Thank you in advance for your time and guidance!

Hi everyone,I'm new to Adobe Stock and recently uploaded a batch of AI-generated cartoon/game-style character illustrations. Out of 7 uploads, only 2 were accepted. The others were rejected for either technical quality or "similar content" reasons.For example:One rejection said the image did not meet quality standards (File ID: 1563249939)The rest said they were too similar to existing content in the collection (File ID: 1563236234 , 1563250030, 1563249959, 1563236211 )All of these images were created using randomized prompts, and I made sure to change details like color, pose, and accessories. But maybe I didn't change enough?Could someone help me understand:What kind of differences does Adobe look for in a batch of character images?How to avoid "spamming" or "similar content" issues when using AI?Any tips on how to safely upload multiple images in a series without getting rejected?(I also tried searching on Adobe Stock using keywords from my titles, and I ran a reverse

After the policy changed, I had many images rejected because they were similar to the group of images. The ones that were rejected, I even understood that the theme was really similar. I started to include different images, and first I searched to see if there were any similar ones. This image that I created in AI was rejected because it was similar. That's why I don't understand the criteria. It's a realistic doll theme of a woman, I didn't find many dolls. Was it rejected because it was female or a close-up, or similar poses or the whole image? They should show the images that resemble mine. Does anyone have any idea of ​​any image that is similar in relation to Adobe's criteria? I thank you in advance for your attention.
