My files have been rejected because of similar content in our collection. How can I upload these files again now? The files that were removed are the icon set ones.

    Rejection due to "similar content" applies not only to the asset's actual content but also to its title and keywords.
    For themes that are already heavily saturated, simply uploading an asset is insufficient; a distinct thematic approach is required, as buyers would otherwise struggle to find it amidst the competition.

    Colorful space galaxy cloud nebula. Stary night cosmos. Universe science astronomy. Supernova background wallpaper

    ironically there are multiple images in the adobestock even with same Titles and having variations in designs, colors but still theses are not considered as “Similar”

    Great !!

    Adobe Stock assets are periodically reviewed, and even those that have been accepted may be removed.

    What is the link to human support? I want to write to the contributor support team. I have six images that were rejected for similarity. When I made them up, they were fantasy images, and they are not similar to anything. I won't bother you putting them up. I just need the link to human support for contributors. These are certainly not oversaturated in the collection. They were accepted at three other sites. Adobe definitely has a problem.  They are fabulous images. I have been working in AI for 3 years and have been a contributor for 20 years. I was exclusive. That's why I was never on Adobe. I decided to give up exclusivity because I am making more money as a non-exclusive.

    I couldn't put up the full size of any other image because it was too big for the post. You get the idea from the first image, which is the great white shark.

    @jodij28273193 

    You’ve hijacked this thread from @RayZigna. That’s not fair to the OP. ​
     

     

    You already know where the link to Contributor Support is. It’s in your Contributor portal. But save your spit & vinegar. Support can’t discuss rejections because that’s not their wheelhouse. The Contributor Support Team doesn’t engage with Stock’s decision makers. 

     

    Ever notice that all GenAI sharks look pretty much the same?  Unfortunately, homogeneity is one of the trade-offs from using AI.

    Feel free to make changes & resubmit. Or not. It’s your choice to make.

    I wouldn't have asked if I knew where the link was, I'm sorry I hijacked the thread. I didn't think it was worth a post alone. I thought it went along with this thread.

    The files that were removed are the icon sets.

    ==========

    Not surprising. Icons are massively oversaturated. 

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=icon 154 million results.

    OPTION 1: Submit Stock rejections to other services.

    OPTION 2: Re-work similar content with fresh elements or themes that distinguish it from other inventory.

    OPTION 3: Set it aside and work on other projects.

     

    Before submitting, compare your work with current inventory. Search by keywords or use the Reverse Image Search feature.

    Good luck.

    Files with different fish in a fantasy environment are all being rejected for same content after six were already accepted with different fish. I am waiting a week and then I am going to contact Support to see if we can straighten out this issue, there is nothing wrong with my quality as 6. Others have been accepted. They are not the same if the giant fish is different

    Find a similar picture to this one. 

    Thank you for answering and spending your time. There is not one remotely close to a seahorse having babies come out of his pouch. I searched every single seahorse picture, and there aren't even that many of them.
