similar content rejection

Dear Adobe Stock Contributor Support,

I am writing to seek a clear and detailed explanation regarding a recent pattern of content rejections I have experienced on my contributor account.

Out of my total 2,400 submitted assets, 1,171 have been rejected under the reason "Similar Content." While I understand that Adobe Stock aims to maintain a diverse and high-quality content library, I am genuinely confused and concerned about the consistency and accuracy of these rejections.

Many of the rejected assets are not duplicates — they differ meaningfully in composition, lighting, perspective, background elements, and even subject arrangement. I've also made deliberate efforts to assign each file a distinct and relevant title and set of keywords to ensure uniqueness. Despite these steps, a large number have still been flagged as "too similar."

Given this, I would appreciate clarification on the following:

1. What are the specific technical or visual criteria currently being used to determine “similar content”?

2 .Has there been a recent change to the review process — for example, the increased use of AI or stricter algorithmic evaluation — that could be contributing to the high rate of similarity-based rejections?

3. Does the title, keyword variation, or slight compositional change have any weight in preventing such rejections?

4. With the recent introduction of the Customize feature on Adobe Stock, which encourages variation and personalization of assets, how should contributors approach submitting similar yet distinct content to remain compliant without risking mass rejections?

I am committed to following Adobe stocks quality and submission standards and would appreciate any guidance you can provide to help me improve future submissions and avoid further unnecessary rejections.

Thank you in advance for your support and clarification.
