Stock Contributors

Hi everyone! Recently, one of my images has been rejected. I am attaching the rejected image here and expecting honest feedback for improvement.Thank you in advance

Hello everyone,This month I’ve been getting an unusually high number of rejections on Adobe Stock with the reason:"Similar content already exists in our collection". Here’s an example of one of the rejected images:(attached image: two people on stage, unique composition, studio lighting). I carefully checked both my own portfolio and existing Adobe Stock content — and I don’t see anything that closely resembles it, either in composition or style. It seems like these rejections might be automated, possibly by AI moderation?I have a few questions:1. Has anyone else experienced a sudden increase in this type of rejection recently?2. Do you have any insights on how the system determines “similar content”?3. Could this kind of rejection impact the account’s ranking or visibility long term?Any tips on how to avoid this issue in the future when working with AI-generated images or series? Would really appreciate your thoughts and shared experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hello,I'm the developer of the SendStock AI application, which generates metadata using AI.Contributors are increasingly generating their metadata with the help of AI.Is it possible to contact developers working on Adobe Stock algorithms and/or SEO to improve title and keyword generation so that they are as optimal as possible and correspond to what Adobe expects from contributors?AI is now one of the tools commonly used by Adobe contributors, and this will only accelerate.It seems to me to be smarter to use AI if it's properly analyzed, and my request is consistent with that.Thank you.

**"Adobe Stock has given me the latest versions of Adobe Creative Cloud software — Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop 2025 — for free for a whole year because I have over 350 downloads. The AI features included are also free for me. These AI features work in the background using Adobe Firefly, and Adobe has given me some free credits for it — for example, 1100 credits per month. Using these, I can generate AI vectors as well as AI images, and there's no watermark when I download them. My question is: Can I generate images using Adobe Firefly and sell them on Adobe Stock, given that the Firefly credits were provided to me for free by Adobe Stock? Senior members, please help me."**   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

I noticed that some of my recent submissions have been rejected. I would appreciate it if you could provide specific reasons or characteristics that led to the rejection. Understanding this will help me improve future uploads and meet your quality standards.Could you also advise on any recommended changes or best practices to avoid similar issues?  Could you please share any sources I can use to check for IP conflicts before submitting future content? Could you please advise which part appeared too similar, how I can make future submissions more distinct, and if there’s any reference or source I can use to avoid similar issues in the future?Thank you for your guidance.

I'm an AI image contributor, but I've been encountering numerous quality issues with my recent submissions. I'm unsure about the root cause of these problems. I've been using InPixio Photo Maximizer for 4X enlargement and Midjourney's upscale option. Could an expert please provide guidance on how to improve my image quality? This has led me to worry about my account suspension. Please Help 

Hi, I don't understand what's the "quality" issue with these photos. can anyone enlighten me?

Estoy viendo que ultimamente me rechazan muchas imagenes en las que alegan lo siguiente:  Durante nuestra revisión, hemos visto que tu envío se asemeja mucho al contenido ya disponible en Adobe Stock. Si bien es normal encontrar similitudes en una colección grande, rechazamos el contenido demasiado repetitivo para que los clientes puedan encontrar fácilmente contenido único y relevante. Me parece vergonzoso que rechacen fotografias en las que se ha dedicado un tiempo de edicion y publicacion porque son similares a otras .. pero no son iguales, cada una tiene sus matices. Yo en mi portfolio no tengo mas fotos de este tipo, similares a esta.   ¿Que opinais vosotros?. 

 Hello,  maybe someone could tell me why these photos was not approved?   [Moderator cured the subject for clarity.]

 Xin chào mọi người, tôi đã tải một bức ảnh lên đây, bức ảnh này đã bị từ chối vì vấn đề chất lượng, vui lòng cho tôi biết tôi có thể cải thiện điều gì. Tôi đã chụp nó bằng Canon R8 và với iso 200 nên tôi hy vọng nó không gây nhiễu

On the site, they advertise "you don't have to be a professional photographer," but 98% of the images are rejected due to "quality." I find it a bit ridiculous, especially with my Z6iii. Almost no post-processing for things that are too dark, too light, too colorful, or anything else. I think I'll leave Adobe's site; I don't need such childish stuff...sorry.

 Not sure how their algorithm work under the scene, maybe they need some helps from TinkEye or hired some computer vision experts. Use this algorithm to find out similar images based on the visual of the images is far from reliable, it could give me over 10 millions images looks like totally irrelevant

¡Buenas! Han rechazado esas (y otras imágenes similares) por problemas de calidad y no llego a entender muy bien el por qué. Si me podéis ayudar os lo agradecería.¡Gracias!

Esse tipo de imagem é vendável no Adobe Stock?

I would like to clarify that the image in question was entirely designed by me using Canva, where I manually created and arranged all graphic elements. The design process involved no use of AI-generation tools.The only external process applied was image upscaling through a website, solely to improve resolution and quality. This upscaling tool did not generate or alter any original artistic content. it simply enhanced the size and clarity of the existing graphic.It's possible that automated AI-detection tools misidentified the upscaled image as AI-generated due to artifacts introduced during the upscaling process or similarities in stylistic patterns that resemble generative art. However, I affirm that this artwork is 100% my original creation and not AI-generated.

I recently submitted several photos for review, and they were rejected. However, I didn’t receive specific feedback explaining why they didn’t meet the requirements. I’ve reviewed the submission guidelines, but I’d appreciate some clarification so I can improve and avoid the same issues in the future.Could someone please help me understand what specific aspects of my photos caused them to be rejected? Whether it’s technical quality, composition, noise, or something else—I’d be grateful for any insight.

Hi, I have this image rejected for Quality Reasons, is part of a batch of illustrations that are in the same sketchy style. I really want to know what is the failure and how get it acceptable, I have another ones with other countries bills to upload , and I don't want them to be rejected too. Thanks

Bonjour, j'ai des photos en cours de validation depuis 3 mois et même 4 mois pour 24 d'entre elles.J'avais bien envoyé un message pour signaler le problème mais tout ce que j'ai reçu en retour c'est un mail type m'indiquant que le délai pouvez dans certains cas passer les 8 semaines.Je commence à en avoir vraiment assez d'adobe !Je suis preneur de vos solutions.CordialementJacques

"I want to know—if a lot of my images get rejected on Adobe Stock, can my account get banned?"

Hi everyone,I'm fairly new to Adobe Stock as a contributor. Recently, I uploaded around 26–30 files. So far, 14 of them show up in my contributor dashboard as "Accepted." However, when I check my public portfolio page, none of the accepted files appear — even when I try searching using my portfolio name.I’ve checked the following:No files left in "In Review" or "Reminder"14 files are listed under "Not Accepted"Titles, descriptions, and keywords are already filled inMy display name is also set up properlyIs it normal for there to be a delay before accepted files appear publicly? Or could I be missing a step?Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Greetings to the forum participants. There have been no sales for three weeks now. I’m only in my eighth month on Adobe Stock, sales are still irregular. But there has never been such a long delay in sales before. I would like to know what this is connected with.  I attach a screenshot of the sales graph below.      [moderator modified the subject, was: Sales disappeared]

can you guys tell me exactly why this image got rejected?

Hi all,I need some advice. I've created some content (videos and photos), all landscape-themed, featuring a large telescope. The telescope in the composition is the Lovell Telescope, a radio telescope located at Jodrell Bank Observatory near Goostrey, UK.Would the presence of this telescope be a reason for my content to be rejected? (image attached) I haven’t submitted anything yet—just looking for some guidance before I decide what to do with it.As always, thank you.  

i uploaded an image of a nature category but it was rejected and i cant understand why it simply said "Quality issues" Can anyone help me by making me understand why it got rejected Take a look at it.
