I uploaded this attched transparent PNG. It is unique, and i believe adobe does not have or niether i do have this kind of content but it got rejected as “similar content.” Yet I see many simple images on Adobe Stock (like onions or strawberries on white backgrounds) are being approved. Why are mine rejected while these get accepted?

What has this Mobile Phone UI got to do with Onions? They're unrelated.

Mobile Phone UI has over 1 MILLION results. And most are submitted as Vector Sets, not a single, pixel-based PNG.

As a customer, I'm more inclined to buy a Vector Set. It gives me more options for more than one project. Just saying...

8.png is not an oinion. And it is childish to assume that if one asset from a different contributor has been accepted, your asset also needs to get accepted. To the contrary: the similar rejection explicitly says that there are similar assets in the database.

I did not said my attached file is onion. I said someone just recently uploaded Onion on white background and it is approved. And my attached file is a unique content . It is rejected by stating similar content. So i dont know what is happening

Well, your wording was confusing not only to me, but also to others, when I read the comments here correctly. If you check the forum here, you will find multiple threads on the "similar rejection" issue. And no thread will provide you with a set of instructions on how best to avoid this situation. We are all confused about how this refusal gets triggered.

I'm not sure whether there are images similar to yours, but I see quality issues in the image. It could also have been rejected on the similarity of title and keywords.

You are right but still in recent upload someone uploaded onion on white background and it has approved. It should fall in similar content rejection. I am uploading unique content and it is getting rejected as similar content .

We all experience this issue, and no one has currently a solution. Adobe is convinced that they are doing a good job, so be prepared to live with this refusal in the future.
