Question

Please guide me on what is selling well on Adobe Stock right now. I have been a contributor for only 4 months and I’m still new. I don’t know what types of images I should create. I would really appreciate your advice.

    Personal interests are as good a place as any to start.

    1. Make lists of things that interest you and compare them with available Stock inventory.  
      1. Does Stock need this?
      2. How much content will I be competing with for views & sales? Under 10K is good. Over 10 million is bad. 
      3. Can I refine this to be more unique?
      4. Repeat with other items on your list.
    2. See Popular Subject Areas in your Contributor User Guide.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you for explaining this so clearly. This is very helpful for me as a new Adobe Stock contributor. I’ll start by making a list of topics that interest me, checking the existing Stock inventory and competition, and then finding ways to make my work more unique and useful. I’ll also study the Popular Subject Areas in the Contributor User Guide. I really appreciate your advice and guidance. I’ll keep learning and improving my work. Thank you!

    A diverse portfolio of various subjects is what to work toward.

    That makes sense. I’ll work toward building a diverse portfolio covering different subjects instead of focusing on only one type of content. I’ll also try to find unique angles within each subject so my work can stand out and have better opportunities for views and sales. Thank you for the advice!

    Thank you for the advice! I have one question: Does Adobe Stock show views or impressions for uploaded images? If so, how can contributors check how many views their work is getting?

    Go for the holiday and seasonal approach. But, be early. 10-12 weeks early is a good time. Start uploading autumn and Halloween themes now. Follow it with Thanksgiving, winter and Christmas. Non- seasonal genres can be uploaded through out the year.

    Not a bad idea, but I would go evergreen as much as possible. 

    Assets for “Happy New Year 2026” & “America’s 250th Birthday” had very short lifespans.

    Be creative and get better in all you do. Put things in order, what are your interests, how unique is your work, can you improve and how? Anyone can do AI, and today Adobe Stock is probably accepting less that 20% of all submissions. 

    Get out of your comfort zone! Share some work and be more precise with your questions. 

    Good Day!

    Option 1 — Best Default

    Thank you for the honest and helpful advice. I completely agree that simply creating AI content is not enough anymore. I’m still learning and trying to improve the quality, uniqueness, and creativity of my work. Your feedback is really motivating me to think differently, experiment more, and move out of my comfort zone. I appreciate the guidance and will definitely work on making my submissions more precise and original. Have a great day!
