Single photo on multiple stock web sites

Hello,

I've been posting my non-exclusive stock photos on both Shutterstock and Adobe Stock. Is it acceptable, or should I consider removing these images from one of the websites? I'd greatly appreciate your valuable insights.

Regards,

Yes, it's clearly stated in the Contributor Agreement that you signed when you first enrolled. Adobe does not claim exclusive rights to any content you upload in Adobe Stock.

You are saying it yourself: non-exclusive… In addition, customers with a subscription with Shutterstock won't buy on Adobe Stock and vice versa, so you are not diluting your gains because of different commercial approaches of both stock agencies.

Nither of the two require exclusive rights. You may do whatever you like with the photos as long as you do not give exclusive usage to someone.
