Question

reject for similar issue

I have been contributing since the beginning of this year, and until recently, around 85% of my submitted files were approved without issue. However, for the last 20 days, most of my uploads have been rejected, mainly for the reason of “Similar Content.”

I am a bit confused because even last month, when I created new designs inspired by other images, my submissions were accepted. But now, even if my new designs have only about 30% similarity, they are being rejected.

Could you please clarify the reason for this sudden change? I want to better understand the updated review standards so that I can improve my work and continue submitting files that meet Adobe Stock’s requirements.

Thank you for your time and support.

It's not really a sudden change. Many Contributors have been reporting dramatically increased rejections based on similars for many months now.

As reported in other recent posts, we have not been informed by Adobe as to what new creiteria is being used to reject assets for "similar content".
