hi 

I sell on a couple of different stock photography websites and recently uploaded some to Adobe Stock. It's been 2 days and my photos are still 'in review' - do photos normally take this long to review or am I missing something...?!  Thanks in advance

No.  They typically take 5-7 business days.   And if you submit "generative AI," you can expect longer delays due to the glut of AI backlog.

Hi @IA collection,

Normally vectors and photographs are reviewed within 5 working days, with vectors reviewing faster. I am not sure about the generative AI timing. It would appear there is a backlog which could result from multiple reasons; the influx of generative AI, the introduction of PNG file and Valentine that just passed.

In any case, 10 working days could be a reasonable time to wait before getting concerned about photo or vector assets review.

Keep uploading everyday and be patient. I believe the review time is improving.

Best wishes

But you are impatient.If your ID is accepted, you should not worry.

 

  • I had illustrative editorial approved within 2 days.
  • Standard assets should get reviewd at around 6 days (model with model release). 
  • Generative AI is currently at a month. 

As soon as you have news for your assets, you could give us an update. So that we also know the timing for vector graphics.

2 days is not unreasonable. I have only occasionally had assets approved that quickly, and that was probably a few years ago. Currently, it appears that Adobe's Content Moderators are overwhelmed with Generative AI Assets since many contributors have apparently submitted hundreds of assets at a time creating a huge backlog. Your photographs might actually get moderated before your illustrations, but no one knows for sure,

Right now, you will find much discussion (in this forum) of long delays. These seem to be heading towards a month at the moment, especially for AI. If you have photos you may be in a different queue, but everyone is seeing delays.
