How many file rejections can an account be suspended?

  Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to connect my Payoneer account to Adobe Stock for three days now, but I constantly get the Declined status with this error: “Payout Information not accepted. Please use a Payoneer account that is valid and unique to your contributor profile.”   What I’ve tried:   Connecting from different devices (laptop, phone) Clearing cookies and cache Trying multiple browsers Contacted Payoneer support – they confirmed that everything is fine on their side (and I got the confirmation about the added funding source)     Screenshots are attached. The system shows “Connecting…” at first, but always ends up as Declined. It looks like something is broken on the Adobe side.   Can someone from the support team help me or manually connect the account?   Thanks in advance for any help!      (moderator deleted attached images, was duplicate to the in-line images)

Hi, I've been wokring as Adobe Contributor for more than 7 years, and recently my works has been rejected due to either "Similar Contents" or quality problem.As for "Similar Contents", i refer to advice from this forum, and tried to make title as descriptive as possible, and searched for same contents on Adobe stock with my title, but still, i dunno why i keep on getting the same similar contents error (and some are illustration which are unique, i dun see the reason why it gets similar contents rejection) Recently, besides similar contents i got the rejection reason on low quality like soft focus etc, but... the thing is my work is flat illustration, it has nothing to do with filtering, soft focus etc.Can anyone please give me some guide on what's happening on Adobe Stock nowadays, review going on for weeks (sometimes month) , and being rejected massively.It caused a lot of time wasted after uploading hundreds and then being rejected almost 90% of them. Some example:Ill

My video was rejected: Santa Claus knocking on a festive door in the snow. File ID: 1760084312. During our review, we found that it contains elements that appear to be protected by intellectual property law. However, the video's theme is similar: Santa Claus, wearing a red suit and sack, knocks on the door of a cosy home in a snowy landscape with festive lights. File number: 712011169. in the foreground. Visually, they are different.

I haven't found anything like it, even one of my dogs has just improved with AI 

I’m a contributor from Pakistan, and my account doesn’t show the Firefly AI training opt-in section. When will it be available for my region?

💼 Subject: Concerns About Fraudulent Download Activity and Fair Treatment of Contributors --- 📨 Dear Adobe Stock Team, I am writing this letter as a long-time contributor who genuinely supports the Adobe ecosystem and values the opportunities provided through the Adobe Stock platform. However, I would like to express deep concern regarding the ongoing issue of fraudulent or “bomb” download activities that are increasingly affecting honest contributors. Over the past few months, numerous contributors — including myself — have experienced repeated patterns of suspicious downloads: Dozens of downloads from different countries within short timeframes, Identical earning amounts across transactions, Followed by sudden warnings, payout holds, or even unexpected account deactivations. While I completely understand Adobe’s responsibility to prevent fraudulent activities and money laundering, the current automated detection system seems to penalize innocent contributors inst

I have over 1000 images in my photo gallery. When submitting new images, I realize they are put in Que waiting to be approved. It is after they have been approved, that I'm not sure where to find the newly approved images in my gallery. The reason I want to know where to find the newly approved images is to add the images to the appropriate created Collection page I created for images. Thanks for any help.

I haven't found any similar ones, if you reject them like that, you can almost reject them all.

Hey everyone,I’ve noticed a sudden drop in downloads since the beginning of October. It’s strange because October is usually one of my better months after the summer slowdown. I’ve also seen some posts on the Adobe Community where customers mentioned problems downloading images, even with active subscriptions. Could this be affecting sales on our side too?Is anyone else seeing the same thing?Thanks for any insight! Ola

Im very disappointed this two pictures rejected because of similar content issueAre these two really similar content?   

 I haven't found any similar ones, you reject them like that, you can almost reject them all.

Trotz Filter: Nur Fotos, Ki-generierte Bilder ausschließen tauchen unzählige Ki-Generierte Bilder auf (Screenshot)!Viele Ki-Bildeinsender kennzeichnen ihre Bilder nicht und kommen damit durch!!! An alle, die noch fotografieren, sich eine teure Fotoausrüstung kaufen und viel Zeit in die Fotografie stecken:Wir schaffen uns ab! Jedenfalls ADOBE schafft den Verkauf von echten Fotos ab! Mit unseren Fotos werden wir, nicht nur hier bei Adobe, in absehbarer Zeit kein Geld mehr verdienen!!!Das ist den Verantwortlichen bei ADOBE egal, denn ADOBE verdient mit jedem verkauften Bild! Unsere echten Fotos werden zur Schulung für Ki-Bilder genutzt, immer mehr Ki-Bilder tauchen in Zeitschriften auf und die Ki-Bilder werden den echten Fotos immer ähnlicher!!!Inzwischen werden bei Ki-Bildern sogar Fotoähnliche Schärveverläufe wie bei einem echten Foto erstellt!Ich mache mir keine Hoffnung dass sich bei ADOBE etwas ändert, denn, wie gesagt, ADOBE verdient an jeden Bild!

I have a question, why does the upload limit keep decreasing? Previously, the limit was 300, then it dropped to 100, and now I can only upload a maximum of 22 assets. Is there a way to increase it again?

why I am having only 30-40 submission per week limit? I am unable to submit more. why

Hello,My account has been suspended for over a year now (approximately 14 months). I posted here around 50 days after the suspension, and someone advised me to wait for a year before trying to open a new account.I’d like to ask if it’s now possible to create a new account and start over. I’m not trying to recover my old account, but I want to ensure that I won’t face another suspension after the first payout after a lot of work and time invested in the port. Could you please confirm whether this suspension is permanent, meaning I’m no longer eligible to work with Adobe Stock, or if I’m allowed to start fresh with a new account?

Ich habe Vogelfotos, die als RAW Bilder aufgenommen wurden, ganz normal mit Lightroom (ohne KI Veränderungen) bearbeitet und sie wurden wegen fehlender KI Kennzeichnung abgelehnt.Hat jemand ähnliche Probleme, ist es ein Bug der KI die die Fotos beurteilt und wo kann man sich beschweren?

Hello Adobe Stock team, I have a contributor account with more than 1,500 AI‑generated illustrations uploaded recently.After reaching about 1,577 files in the “New” tab (category: Technology, marked as “Created using generative AI tools”), the “Submit files” button became permanently disabled. Even after reducing my “New” tab to 200 files and clearing browser cache/cookies, the button still remains greyed‑out.It seems that my submission queue is locked on the server side due to the previous large AI batch. System details:– Contributor ID: 212763702– Approx. files uploaded: 1,577 AI images, now 200 visible in “New”– Browser: Chrome (latest version)– Platform: Windows 11– Reproduced on multiple browsers Please check and kindly reset my contributor submission queue or unlock the “Submit” functionality so I can continue uploading new approved content. Thank you very much for your help!Best regards,Samuel Minouri   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Hi. New to stock photo upload and recently decided to upload a whole range of landscape photos from a bikepacking trip, with every single one reviewed so far failing to meet quality requirements. Looking at the photos already available from the location (search word 'Rallarvegen') I'm struggling to understand where mine come up short. I've provided 3 of the rejected photos as examples. Would really appreciate any help identifying the issue. 

I don't know how to request for payout. Can someone help me with the same.   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

I made a withdrawal on October 18, 2025. Today it shows Payment Done. But the dollars have not been deposited in my Skrill. Suddenly, I noticed a mistake. There is a small mistake in my Skrill email, for example, I am writing gmaol instead of gmail. That was an unintentional mistake on my part. I don't understand why the dollars weren't deposited? If so, what should I do? I would be grateful if you could please let me know.

Hi all, I'm not a regular poster here however of late I am finding more and more of my images are being rejected on Adobe Stock. It feels that the process is becoming more subjective and therefore much more difficult to know what is acceptable or not. In the past I had very, very few images rejected. In addition, the same images were accepted at other stock sites. So confused! Any constructive critisism or feedback, insight would be HUGELY appreciated. Perhaps some of you guys could have a look over my latest rejection and offer any thoughts. Thanks, Jus 🙂 

Hello, they rejected these photos of mine and left me this message: Unfortunately, during our review we found that it contains one or more technical issues, such as unintentional shaking, empty black or white frame, compression and/or audio issues, so we can't accept it into our collection.

File ID: 1764309299 maybe 3 similar ones, if you rule them out like that, you can almost rule them all out
