Question about rejected content and other platforms

Hello,

I have a question regarding files rejected for similar content.

As a new contributor, we did not fully understand at first how Adobe Stock evaluates similarity, and as a result many of our submissions were rejected for similar content (in practice, almost all of them).

We are also contributors on other stock platforms.
Is there any issue or restriction with publishing on other platforms files that were rejected on Adobe Stock due to similar content?

To clarify: these files are our own original work and were only rejected because of Adobe’s similarity criteria, not for quality, rights, or policy reasons.

Thank you very much for your help and clarification.

    You can submit any of your rejected assets to other Stock platforms, as long as they comply with the guidelines for those platforms. I have done so and they have been accepted on another platform.

        Adobe does not claim exclusivity with regard to submitted assets. If the other platforms have the same policy, you can submit your images to other platforms.

          Thank you for the clarification, I really appreciate it.

          I work exclusively with video content, specifically loops, and more precisely, unidirectional loops (not back-and-forth or mirrored loops).

          From my perspective, Adobe Stock is already full of very similar visuals, but in most cases they are not designed as true one-way loops, which is actually the core functional value I’m focusing on. I understand that this distinction may not always be taken into account during review, and that can be a bit frustrating, but of course we adapt and keep learning.

          Thanks again for taking the time to explain this. The feedback from experienced contributors like you is genuinely helpful.
