Good lighting and exposure, sharp focus, appealing composition (rule of thirds), straight horizontal & vertical lines, ample color saturation and proper white-balance.  No unwanted noise, or other artifacts. 

If you submit Generative AI, be aware that AI has trouble with details. Count fingers & toes. Ensure that hands, apparel, facial features, hair and jewelry are correctly drawn. Check perpendicular lines and angles for accuracy.

Compare your best work with current Stock inventory to ensure that 1) Stock needs it and 2) yours is better than what Stock is selling now.

Post one or two of your rejected full-sized assets here for critique.  Well give you our honest opinion as to why it may have been rejected and if it can be fixed for re-submission. 

Hope that helps.

Here are good and valid resources.

Hello, I am an Adobe Stock contributor and I want to make sure my future submissions meet all of Adobe Stock’s quality and technical requirements. I work with both human-captured images (original photography) and AI-generated images.

Could you please share the latest, detailed guidelines for both types of content? I am especially interested in knowing the accepted technical specifications, quality standards, and any specific rules for AI-generated images compared to human photography.

I want to follow Adobe Stock’s standards closely so that my uploads are eligible for acceptance.

Thank you for your assistance.
