Stock Contributors

Hello everyone,Im new contriutor,My motion videos have been pending for about 9–12 days.Last approval was on April 6.Is anyone else experiencing slow video review currently?Thanks.

Hello!Just to know..  Can someone tell me what quality issues these photos have?Honestly, I don’t understand..  

I’ve had a very hard time getting anything approved recently. I’m seeing a spike in "Illustrative Editorial" rejections and "Similar Content" flags on almost all my submissions this month and last.My technical quality hasn't changed, but the rejection rate has skyrocketed. Is Adobe intentionally throttling manual uploads or tightening the "similar" filter to deal with the library size? It’s becoming a waste of time to upload if the goalposts have moved this much without notice.I was told as of early 2025, AI-generated images made up nearly half of the entire Adobe Stock library. Adobe is letting AI flood the well, but why would a buyer pay for an AI image that they can generate themselves in 30 seconds?

I came across an interesting portfolio - https://stock.adobe.com/be_en/contributor/207325322/quicklinestudio?load_type=author&prev_url=detail The author has an outstanding result. It turns out that some people can have only about 230 illustrations in their portfolio and almost all of them are in the top of the search engine in Adobe. Is this normal?

Hello,I am trying to register as a contributor on Adobe Stock, but I am facing an issue with phone number verification. I have attempted multiple times to receive the verification code; however, I am not receiving any SMS on my phone.I have ensured that my phone number is entered correctly with the appropriate country code, and I have also tried using different browsers and retrying after some time, but the issue still persists.I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue so I can proceed with my contributor account setup.Thank you for your time and support.Best regards,Kedishwari.

I generated this image using AI and upscaled it with Upscayl, but it was rejected due to quality issues.I’m trying to understand what exactly might be wrong. When I zoom in at 100%, the image appears quite smooth, but I’ve had other similarly smooth images approved before. And my all of my images both approved ones and rejected ones dimensions are 11264*6144 . and due to huge size here i am uploading the screenshot of my rejected image. And I have checked all generated with ai checkbox and submitted this as illustration. Also I have uploaded the screenshot of my image at 100%.So I’m not sure if the smoothness is the actual issue, or if there might be some other problem I’m overlooking.Could someone please take a closer look and help me identify the issue? I would really appreciate any guidance.

I haven't been seeing any sales from my Adobe Stock account for the past few days. My account was downloading daily and suddenly it stopped selling. What can I do now?

Subject: Contributor Account Suspended for Suspicious Activity – No Response from SupportHello,My Adobe Stock contributor account was suspended on March 5 due to “suspicious activity.”I have already submitted an appeal through the official form and followed up via my support ticket (Case ID: 00480569), including a recent follow-up on April 7. However, I have not received any response so far.I would like to clarify that I am the sole owner of the account, and all content I uploaded is original and created by me. All uploads were done manually using my personal device, without any automation tools or third-party services.If the suspension was triggered by a high volume of uploads within a short period, I fully understand and I am willing to adjust my workflow to comply with Adobe Stock guidelines.I respectfully request assistance in checking the status of my case or escalating it for review.Thank you very much for your time.

Hi everyone,I have a problem with Adobe Stock. For the past 3 months, I cannot submit any files. The “Submit files” button is always disabled and shows 0 files, even after uploading images.Before this, some of my files were rejected. Since then, I can’t submit anything.Has anyone experienced this?Is this an account issue or something I need to fix?Thank you!

I just do not want to do unpaid work for Adobe.I also want to point out a major flaw in this process. When I uploaded previews of these images to the AI checkers linked by a community member in an outline for reporting mislabeled AI images, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them failed to recognize the images as AI. It was only after I downloaded the LICENSED IMAGES and uploaded them to the AI checker, which directly gives these creators compensation. I was able to identify every preview as AI EASILY, just by se

Dear Adobe Stock Contributor Support Team,I am trying to register as a contributor on Adobe Stock, but I am facing an issue with phone number verification.

This isn't a question. I am so thankful for the posting of rejected quality issue images, because I am learning so much about Adobe’s quality issues. Now I have an AI-generated image with all the quality issues mentioned in this forum, with corrections in the replies. I worked on this picture for 3 days, after generating, listening to every reply, and it got accepted. I am very new at AI..Thank you. 

Hello everyone,I am posting here because I am facing a very frustrating situation with my contributor account and I am hoping to get some clarity.My account was first deactivated on March 27, 2025 due to “suspicious or irregular sales activity.” I contacted contributor support and after several emails and a long wait, my account was finally reinstated on July 22, 2025 under Case #00386691.After my account was restored, I continued contributing normally and carefully followed all guidelines. In fact, I even contacted support to confirm that everything was fine and that no additional steps were required from my side.However, to my surprise, my account was deactivated again on December 11, 2025, with a similar explanation. Since then I have been waiting again for a response. My current support cases related to this issue are: Case #00463217 Case #00474767 This situation is extremely discouraging because: My account was already reviewed once and reinstated. I did not change my behavior

Hi everyone, I'm new to Adobe Stock and my first few photos were all rejected for "quality issues." I've attached a few examples below. Could you take a look and tell me what might be wrong? Thanks in advance!Lush green Mondo grassFull moon shining through circular frame of treeSharp juniper tree silhouette

I am actively participating in the AI training program and would like to resolve this technical issue to continue my work with Adobe Stock.Could a moderator please look into this or escalate my case to the billing department?Thank you!

 I cropped the photo for this post because the file size is larger than 5mb

Maybe because not everything is exceptionally sharp? But some wors pictures made it through.  

Hi Adobe team, I cannot add my Indonesian phone number (+62) to my Adobe Stock Contributor profile. When I try to contact support through Help Center, it redirects me back to the “Add mobile phone number” page, so I am stuck in a verification loop. Because of this, I cannot upload my designs. I already tried using +62 without the leading 0, different browsers, incognito mode, and different networks. Please help fix this issue or verify my number manually. Thank you.

No one at adobe is responding to my reports and questions regarding how to remove/report AI images that have not been marked as AI. The following image of a pickle is to me very obviously AI generated/manipulated. https://stock.adobe.com/images/glossy-juicy-dill-pickle-close-up/1489256671 I have never seen a pickle like this in all of my years art directing food. So I just wanted to make sure someone took a look at this artist’s work. Areas to note:  Pickle lacks traditional shape and textures of other images populated in the search  The highlight is reflecting nothing, and reflection locations do not make sense (the upper right and left side would never be lit this way in real life). The bumpy texture does not look natural. Real pickles have bumps that share the same darker color of the peel. These bumps are lighter and look more like “crisp” air pockets than texture on a vegetable.  When reviewing this authors work, I feel they are not marking all of their images appropriately. I
