Stock Contributors

I got the message file upload error when I upload the AI format that create and export from Adobe illustrator iPad version. Is that an effect from last week issue with vector upload?Anyone got the same issue? 

Hi, I have a photo in portal, when i click to submit, everything goes as a normal, website ask me to double accept terms etc but photo removes from new tab and is not moving to the Review tab; it just disappears completely. It has been happening for 1 month. Submit limit not reached

Hello Adobe Team,My Adobe Stock Contributor account is showing the following message:"Submission limit reached. Either you have too much content pending moderation, or you've submitted the maximum weekly limit. You'll be able to submit more once pending items are moderated or your limit resets."I currently have only 1 file pending review, and my weekly submission limit should have reset today.Today I uploaded 39 images, but only 3 were submitted before the Submit button became disabled and the above message appeared.I have checked that my files have titles, categories, and keywords, so the issue does not appear to be missing metadata.Could an Adobe employee please check whether there is a problem with my account or my submission limit?Thank you. 

Hello Adobe Community and Staff,I am writing here to request urgent assistance regarding my Adobe Stock Contributor account (Screen Name: Surinder082), which was deactivated on November 13, 2025.I submitted a formal appeal and provided all the necessary clarification. My case was assigned Case ID: 00502862. The last email communication I had with the Contributor Support Team was on May 12, 2026. Since then, I have been patiently waiting for nearly three months without any update.My account was flagged due to a sudden, highly unusual spike in downloads on a single day. I have clearly stated in my appeal that I was a victim of a bot attack or third-party irregular activity. I did not purchase my own content, nor did I encourage anyone to do so. I am fully willing to cooperate, provide source files, and even forfeit the earnings generated by that specific irregular activity to prove my integrity.Could an Adobe staff member or moderator please help escalate Case ID 00502862 to the relevant

Hi everyone,I am writing here in hopes that a Staff Member or Moderator might be able to help escalate an open ticket.My Adobe Stock Contributor account was automatically blocked 3 weeks ago after an accidental brief VPN connection. I immediately reached out to support to explain the situation and clarify my identity/location, but I haven't received a reply or update since then.I completely respect the security procedures, but the long period of inactivity on my case is getting quite concerning regarding my account status and pending payout. Ticket / Case ID: ADB-46215823-G6N9  Status: Pending for 3 weeks Could one of the Adobe staff members here please pass this ticket number along to the Contributor/Compliance team for a quick status check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!Pascal

Hello,I am looking for assistance with Case 00526339. Back on July 2nd, I proactively reported a suspicious spike in downloads to ensure my account stays in good standing. Despite several follow-up messages and offering to have the suspicious funds deducted, I haven't received a response in 25 days.As an active contributor (recently included in the Top Sellers list for photos), I am currently unable to safely request a payout until this investigation is resolved.Could an Adobe Stock staff member please help me escalate this case? I just want to clear my balance and ensure everything is correct.Contributor ID: 206657208Case ID: 00526339Thank you in advance!

I am a long-time Adobe Stock Contributor with an established portfolio and images currently available for sale.I can no longer access my Contributor account because the email address associated with it was permanently discontinued by the email provider. The entire domain/email service was shut down, so the email address and inbox no longer exist.I contacted Adobe Customer Support, but they suggested creating a new account. This would not solve the problem because I need access to my existing Contributor portfolio, sales and earnings.I have also tried Adobe's account recovery using my current phone number, but it is not associated with the old account.I am happy to provide identification, tax/payment information, portfolio information or any other documentation necessary to prove ownership.Could an Adobe employee or Community Manager please help me escalate this to Contributor Relations for manual account recovery?Thank you.

Hi, I am trying to create a new Adobe Stock Contributor account, but I am unable to verify my Sri Lankan phone number (+94). I keep getting an error message and cannot receive the verification code. I don't have a paid subscription, so I can't reach live chat. Could you please manually verify my contributor account so I can start uploading?

Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to this community in hopes of getting some clarity regarding my contributor account, which was deactivated back on September 11, 2025.To be completely honest, I’m at a loss. My account was deactivated right after a spike in sales, and I never received any email explanation—checked my spam folder repeatedly, nothing.Here is what I’ve done so far: I contacted support through the form on my deactivated account page. I submitted a formal appeal (Case ID 00453399) on October 30, 2025. Since then, it has been over 7 months without a single update or response. I want to stress that I have always followed the rules: I have never uploaded AI-generated content, never used spammy keywords or excessive similarity, and I have never been involved in any fraudulent activity.I am currently working on other projects, but it is deeply painful to lose an account I put so much work into. I know that creating new support tickets is discouraged, so I am just sharing my story h

I have uploaded photos some like this, in my perspective are ok but Adobe keeps on rejecting due “Quality Issues” am I missing something? please help

why not accept this picture

Adobe Inc single handed is responsible more than any other company for the positive transformation of the photography industry. While Getty Images in my head remains the gold standard for stock, and I appreciate them selling my work, the fact is they were forced to merge down to stay relevant in the future. And for all the… bitching we read here in the contributor forum about Adobe’s rejections and creators ranting about taking their work else where, one thing I just don’t worry about is Adobe Stock’s long term survival.https://www.diyphotography.net/eyeem-files-bankruptcy-goes-bust/?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=personalized-push

Hello, My Adobe Stock Contributor account () has been deactivated without any prior notice or explanation. I am an established contributor with over 20,000 active assets in my portfolio and a pending balance of $900 USD. I have always respected the submission guidelines and terms of service. I already opened a support case and my case number is ADB-46400961-B1W8, but I have not received a human response yet. Could an Adobe Employee or Moderator please help me escalate this case to the Contributor Relations team for a manual review? Thank you for your time and assistance. Kind regards, Diego

Hi There,My logo was rejected for being "too similar" to existing Adobe Stock content. However, I searched using multiple keywords before submitting and couldn't find any logo that closely matches this design.This logo was created entirely from scratch and is not copied or traced from any existing artwork. It has also been accepted on Shutterstock & others which made me even more curious about what Adobe considers too similar.Could anyone point me to the similar logo if you've seen one? I'd really appreciate any feedback on what makes this design appear too similar and how I can improve it for resubmission. Best Regards  

My account was suspended in May, it took 6 weeks for the appeal to be looked at and it was then reinstated.Adobe made it clear that fraudulent downloads was the issue ($24 worth) which I had no involvement in, knowledge of or ability to prevent. So I lost 6 weeks of income because of someone else’s actions. My account has a perfect record over the last 6 years.My account has been live again for 3 weeks, I’ve been watching the downloads like a hawk and have seen nothing unusual. I received exactly the same ‘account blocked for suspicious activities’ this morning. Has anyone else had this happen?I’ve filed a support ticket and appeal form again but don’t know if I’ve got it in me to keep going round like this. It feels very helpless to have no control over why your account is blocked, especially when they made it clear I’d done nothing wrong. Mods, thanks for everything you do but I’m looking for other contributors who have had the same thing happen. I’ve filed a ticket and appeal throug

Liebe Community. Ich habe meine ersten Fotos (Serie Alphütte) hochgeladen, doch sie wurden alle abgelehnt. Ohne konkreten Grund, natürlich würde ich gerne lernen was ich genau falsch gemacht habe. Herzlichen Dank für Eure Hilfe.  

Please give me advice to fix this rejection. so i can fix and resubmit it again. i think my vector file doesn’t contains raster/bitmap image. This is the rejection reason: QUALITY ISSUESYour file has one or more of these issues:Your vector file contains a raster/bitmap image, and vector files must not contain raster elements. Your JPEG preview file has been compressed too much, so textural problems have occurred in the file. Your JPEG preview resolution must not be less than 5,000 X 3,000 (15 million pixels) You didn't use anti-aliasing when exporting your vector file to JPEG, so there are problems with lines on the JPEG file Thank you

I usually create drawings using oil, watercolor, gouache, and pencil brushes to add texture to my artwork. However, my submissions are often rejected due to quality issues. What can I do to get them accepted? Even when I add solid lines around the edges, they still get rejected. And does submitting them as transparent PNGs without a background also lead to rejection?

More customer backlash is forming in the Stock forum. The posts range from requesting the ability to create “blacklists” to filter “bad” contributors from web searches to a “comments & ratings system” for flagging poor-quality assets so that other customers don’t get “ripped off.”  The underlying tone of these requests is frustration and disappointment at a lack of quality control. Buyers should never be disappointed with their Stock purchases. That’s a clear sign that some Contributors are taking lazy shortcuts and not ensuring that their work meets customer expectations.  The worst culprits are auto-traced GenAI-slop packaged as editable vector graphics that customers can neither use nor edit in Illustrator. Customers feel cheated, and rightfully so. If customers get their wish (it could happen), there will be a lot of weeping & wailing by Contributors who have been cancelled by their customers. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

My Adobe account was deactivated due to inactivity on my part for a long period. I actually was not sure about the type of content I would upload back then. But since I gained confidence in terms of the content that i would submit to Adobe, unfortunately my account was deactivatedc.Subsequently, I sent emails to Adobe requesting for my account to be re instaterd.I unfortunately have not heard from Adobe to date!I request the team at Adobe to relook into my request and reinstate my account as I am eager to contribute to Adobe.Look forward to an early resolution.Warm Regards Rakesh Raina[PPI removed by moderator.]
