Stock Contributors

My Adobe Stock contributor account, active since 2019, was deactivated on March 19, 2026.During six years as a contributor, I never received a warning or suspension and I have always complied with the Adobe Stock Contributor Terms and Submission Guidelines.I submitted an appeal on the same day and have since sent several follow-ups through the official Contributor Support channels. Most recently, Adobe Support advised me to contact Contributor Support directly, which I had already done.It has now been over three months without receiving the outcome of my appeal or any update regarding its status.Has anyone experienced a similar waiting period, or is there another way to confirm whether my appeal is still under review?Thank you.

Can someone please tell me what intellectual property is in this totally made-up fantasy image? Created on ChatGPT.It is made up. It is a fantasy. I don't get it. This is the second rejection from two inspectors. Please help. During our review, we found that it contains elements that appear to be protected by intellectual property (IP) laws, so we can't accept it into our collection. Elements protected by IP may appear in the image or in the description, title, and/or keywords.

Why are assets like this being allowed on adobe stock? When zoomed out it looks ok but is completely unusable. It is not labelled as Ai generated but is definitely not being designed by hand. Everything on their profile is the same. https://stock.adobe.com/ca/images/sleek-red-and-black-graphic-wrapped-pickup-truck-with-racing-stripes/2025585112?prev_url=detailhttps://stock.adobe.com/ca/images/high-speed-race-car-with-blue-and-white-graphic-wrap-showcased-on-a-track-highlighting-aerodynamic-design-and-bold-paint-motif/1940768946?prev_url=detail 

Hi! So I just tried to submit this photo right here for sale on Adobe Stock: https://ibb.co/Lzh9XnHDBut it was rejected for quality issues. Any critique would be appreciated. I also attached a photo with a preview of the photo in case you don’t want to open the link for the photo itself.Regards. 

Why is this image rejected due to quality issues. I just had a 16x20 print made with no issues.This happens more often than not. Very frustrating 

I am wondering where my illustration violates anyones intellectual property.  

Hello everyone, I’m a new user of Adobe Stock. I often fail the review process because the images don’t meet the quality standards. What problems should I address in order to improve my chances of passing the review?[This post was moved to Stock Contributors by a moderator]

Hi everyone. I have a question. I recorded a video on my YouTube channel showing how I advertise my images for sale on Pinterest using Adobe. Several people asked if this violated any rules. I don't see anything that violates them, but I wanted to know your opinion. Thanks.

Recently I am getting many rejects on my images, I would like to know whether this is happening because of over editing or something else. Can anyone help me understand that

Hello everyone,((Adobe Case Update 00517663))My Adobe Stock account was deactivated due to an alleged AI content guidelines violation, but I was not informed which guideline I violated. I have been an Adobe Stock contributor for 3 years, spending a lot of time creating, improving, and uploading my work while trying to follow the rules. I have around $170 in my account and contacted Adobe on May 28 for a review, but I have not received a response yet. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Is there a chance to reactivate the account? And what happens to the remaining earnings if the account is not restored? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

I would like to under why this particular image has been rejected

Hello everyone,I am a new contributor in Adobe Stock. However, I already faced a lot of rejection showing the reason of similarity in content. Eventually, I stopped contributing images/vectors. I have started to concentrate on videos (motion graphics). Recently, I submitted a looping motion graphics video as attached/linked herewith. But it was also rejected on similarity issue. Creating a motion graphics work involves a lot of efforts and works. But, this is frustrating to have the work rejected showing “similarity in collection”.Video I SubmittedCould you please show me how this content is too similar and repetitive in Adobe Stock collection?Looking forward to your kind responses. Regards

What could possibly be intellectual property in these images? The number on the man is made up. There's nothing on the girl that is copyrighted. They're all AI, and of course, the fantasy images, I can't imagine. Please let me know. I think the rejection is stuck on intellectual property rejections. 

Why would 100% of my images be refused for Intellectual Property Refusal? I posted a number of very general city street-scapes, random buildings store fronts, etc. Very basic imagery of which can be found across the stock platform? Seems very odd that ALL images were refused, even those without any distinct logos or artwork. Very frustrating since this was a pretty substantial upload.

Hello, my name is Pasindu and I'm reaching out from Sri Lanka regarding an issue with my Adobe Stock Contributor registration. The phone verification step is not completing successfully for me. I've attempted the process using two different local carriers - Dialog (+94 77 number) and Hutch (+94 76 number) - but in both cases, the verification SMS never arrives on my device.Is there a way for someone on the Adobe support team to manually approve my account, or suggest another method to verify my phone number? I'd really appreciate any guidance here.My registered email for this account: [removed by moderator]Location: Sri Lanka

Is anyone here that think differently? some humble people around?, or everyone got too much of themselves? i’m really really impressed, and not in a good way. May be some cultural thing.

I am Pasindu Jayawardhana from Sri Lanka. I recently created an Adobe Stock Contributor account but I cannot complete the phone verification step.I have tried with multiple Sri Lanka mobile numbers including Dialog (+94 77) and Hutch (+94 76) but SMS codes are not being delivered to any of them.Could an Adobe moderator please help me verify my account manually or provide an alternative solution?Account email: [email removed by moderator]Country: Sri Lanka

I was having Adobe Stock Accept my photos almost right away or at least within a day. I have about 5,200 images approved & 500 images in review and seems like they stopped accepting mine? what should i do? maybe they are getting alot of ai images now from everybody. I think all the images were good quality and upscaled, so i dont know whats wrong. I am the Jet Green Cody Essary Ai Account. thanks!

I just went through 100 pages of diverse images, and there isn't one that has anything to do with putting makeup on a man. They say they want diverse images, yet they did not accept this one, for similar, which there are none like this. These were also not accepted for quality. Can you tell me why, please?

Dear Adobe stock contributor Team,My Adobe stock contributor account has been de-activated on last Friday. I'm contributing to Adobe from last 7-8 years and having 51000 files in my portfolio, I don't know the exact reason why my account has been de-activated, I may have done mistake unintentionally having so big portfolio and so old there may be problematic files in my portfolio I don't know. Many rules and guidelines changed through these years so I expect there may be problem in my older files which may not follow the presently rules and guidelines. I'm ready to provide proof any file that it's my own created if Adobe cooperate with me and also ready to remove those files which are problematic in the eyes of guidelines. I request for your cooperation to reinstate my account and remove all the problematic files in my portfolio which triggered the system also send me the problematic files ID numbers so I can see and remove them also will learn more about so I can be more careful about
