Stock Contributors

Hello everyone, I’d like to ask:Does Adobe Stock support uploading videos in the HEVC (H.265) codec?If so, does this have any impact on the asset review process? And if the video is approved by the Adobe Stock curation team, could using this codec affect whether the asset sells or not?

  Hello everyone, I am trying to create a new Adobe Stock Contributor account from Bangladesh, but during the registration process, the phone number verification is not working. 🔹 My issue: When I enter my Bangladeshi mobile number, I don’t receive the verification code. I tried multiple times with different operators but still no success. Because of this, I cannot complete the account setup. 🔹 My questions: Is Adobe currently not supporting SMS verification for Bangladesh? Is this a temporary technical issue or a permanent restriction for contributors from Bangladesh? Are there any alternative methods (like email verification or support request) to complete the process? It would be very helpful if Adobe staff or experienced contributors could explain the current policy for Bangladesh and suggest a solution. Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I am contacting you regarding an issue with my recent withdrawal. On September 18, 2025, I requested a withdrawal to my Skrill account. At that time, I had disconnected my Payoneer account and attached Skrill, so the payment was sent to Skrill.However, after making the withdrawal, I mistakenly reconnected my Payoneer account for about four days. When I noticed that the payment had still not reached my Skrill account, I realized my mistake and reconnected Skrill again. Since the withdrawal was already sent to Skrill, I expected the funds to arrive there.According to your system, the payment was marked as “done” on September 27, 2025, but it has not been credited to my Skrill account. I also contacted Skrill, and they confirmed that they have not received the payment.If needed, I can provide you with a screenshot from my Adobe Stock account showing that the payment was marked as completed on your side.I kindly request that you return this payment back to my Adobe Stock account so I can w

Dear Adobe Support Team, I am writing to appeal the recent removal/restriction of my Adobe Stock account/content. I respectfully believe that this action may have been taken in error. I have always aimed to follow Adobe’s Content Submission Guidelines and Terms of Use carefully. If any of my submitted files unintentionally violated the guidelines, I sincerely apologize and assure you that it was not intentional. I kindly request you to review my account and the content in question. If there are specific issues or files that caused the restriction, I would appreciate it if you could provide details so that I can take corrective action and ensure full compliance going forward. Adobe Stock is a very important platform for me as a contributor, and I highly value the opportunity to work with your community. I respectfully request that my account/content access be reinstated. Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to your positive response. Sincerely,Shohag Sikder [Moderat

Hi everyone,I need some clarification about using multiple Adobe accounts on the same computer.On my desktop, I am logged into Creative Cloud with my main email account, which has an active subscription. I use this account for all Adobe apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) for my design work.At the same time, on the same computer, I also use a second Chrome profile where I log into my Adobe Stock Contributor account. This contributor account is linked to a different email address and I only use it to upload assets and check my stock earnings.So basically:Account 1 = Creative Cloud subscription account (for apps)Account 2 = Adobe Stock Contributor account (different email, only in Chrome profile)My question is: Will this setup cause any issues or conflicts? Is it allowed to use one account for Creative Cloud subscription and another account for Adobe Stock Contributor on the same computer?Thanks in advance for your help.

When I create content, I always try my best to ensure it does not resemble any other existing content. Still, when Adobe Stock’s system detects it as “similar content,” it truly feels disappointing and disheartening for me. I always follow Adobe Stock’s guidelines and will continue to do so in the future.If it had been clearly mentioned why my content specifically fell under the category of “similar content,” it would have been much more helpful for me to improve going forward. I admit that making mistakes is natural. However, I want to learn from this mistake and continue moving forward with greater responsibility. Thank you.

adobe rejected the image with word 'Decathlon', believing it to be an intellectual property infringement. If a company has named itself after a sport, then now no one has the right to use the name of that discipline decathlon in athletics? Maybe the moderator does not know about the existence of such a sport? reference from wikipedia: The decathlon is a combined event in athletics consisting of 10 track and field events. The word was formed in analogy to the word "pentathlon", from Greek δέκα (déka 'ten') and ἆθλον (áthlon 'contest, prize'). Events are held over two consecutive days and the winners are determined by the combined performance in all. Performance is judged on a points system in each event, not by the position achieved. The decathlon is contested mainly by male athletes, while female athletes typically compete in the heptathlon.  

Like many other folks when I try to apply for stock contributor program to sell images I recieve a message that says I have multiple accounts. I know I'm receiving this message in error as I've gone through all the steps and verified my email is the only one associated with my phone number. I reached out to Adobe Support via email in July 2025 but have frustratingly have not heard back as of October 2025. I did recieve the generic template 'steps to follow' that I've already taken. I've also tried calling Adobe's help number but they say they cannot access that part of Adobe. Is there any hope to get this resovled? I have portfolios on multiple other sites and would love to contribute with Adobe as well.    [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Hola a todos! Buen dia!Adobe me ha rechazado estas fotografias, me podrian comentar base a su experiencia porque lo ha hecho. Muchas gracias por sus comentarios.

Hello, I’m a contributor and I uploaded a large batch of AI-generated images to Adobe Stock. It has now been 17 days and most of the files are still pending review. About one-third of the batch has already been rejected for “similar content,” while the rest remain in review. My concern is: should I delete the remaining files that are still pending to avoid the risk of mass rejection, or is it better to leave them and wait for the moderation outcome? I’m worried that if many more of these pending files also get rejected for the same reason, it could negatively affect my contributor account (e.g., stricter moderation or reduced trust). Has anyone experienced this situation before? I’d really appreciate advice from experienced contributors or Adobe staff on the best approach here. Thank you!

I've been restricted from submitting submissions. How long will it take for it to be lifted? If anyone has had their restrictions lifted, please let me know how long it took.

Over the past months many contributors — myself included — have noticed a worrying shift in Adobe Stock’s review process. I routinely upload 7–8 assets per day, yet only about 1–3 of those are actually reviewed. At the same time, the rejection rate seems to have surged. When assets are rejected, the explanations we receive are often minimal, fragmented, and rarely helpful for improvement.This isn’t just an inconvenience. It affects our livelihoods, our workflow, and the trust we place in a platform that many of us rely on. The review process is the backbone of the marketplace: it guarantees quality for buyers and predictable outcomes for contributors. When that process becomes opaque or inconsistent, the entire ecosystem suffers.What contributors are experiencing• Very low review throughput compared to uploads — long stretches where few or no assets are checked.• A marked increase in rejections, sometimes for reasons that are vague or appear inconsistent with what is accepted in the pu

Has anyone else noticed that the Statistics tab on Adobe Stock is broken?  Activity, Downloads, and Earnings results are different for any given time period depending on how you view them.  If I manually add up each downloads in September, I get one answer.  Summarizing by day shows somthing different.  And summarizing by month shows something else again.  Bottom line is that I have no way of getting an accurate number of downloads and earnings for September.  Am I the only one?  I'm not seeing this obvious bug referenced anywhere else.

Hello fellow contributors, I know that because many users of AI generate asset bombing review progress can be slow, but is review progress slowing down for all contributors or just me,  or is it because of the US government shutdown that caused the review progress to slow down? I feel like reviews are slowing down.before September 30, I usually still get 3 to 6 reviews each day even it is rejection, but from October 1st, I only get 1 or 2 review on my account .

Hello, I've generated over 50-100 images using Seaart, upscaled to 4k, and all of them were rejected. Why? Are images created using Seaart not accepted? Could it be that the generator is at fault for not producing satisfactory images, resulting in none of them being accepted? Initially, I generated images using both Leonardo AI and Midjourney without encountering such issues. Some of the images created with Seaart are being rejected, and I'm not sure why. I understand one being rejected, but every single one? I know there are hundreds of thousands of similar images, but I found it intriguing and decided to give this new generator a try.

Hallo Community,Ich habe vor ca. 2 Jahren mal ein paar Bilder hochgeladen. Unter anderem ein -wie ich finde-völlig schechtes Foto von einem Riesenrad auf einer Kirmes-viel zu dunkel, ausgebrannte Stellen, schlechtes Objektiv,man erkennt kaum etwas, krass bearbeitet...Komischerweise wurde das Bild akzeptiert und auch einmal wurde die Lizenz verkauft.Jetzt habe ich neue Bilder von Riesenrädern gemacht. Mit besserem Objektiv, habe viel dazu gelernt und die Bilder hochgeladen. Alle Leute, denen ich die Bilder gezeigt habe sind sich einig, dass die neueren wesentlich ansprechender und qualitativ hochwertiger sind. Dennoch wurden diese abgelehnt. Mit der Begründung: "zu schlechte Qualität"Überhaupt finde ich das hier total komisch-irgendwie repräsentiert mein Portfolio hier gar nicht, was ich so mache. Es kommt mir total willkürlich vor. Und es ärgert mich richtig.Ich habe Bilder hier hochgeladen, gestochen scharf, nichts mit Filtern bearbeitet, nichts entrauscht, perfekt belichtet, entspric

the following photo was rejected for quality issue. could you help me for understanding this issue in detail?

Hello,Yesterday I uploaded 15 AI-generated images on Adobe Stock. Today, 10 of them were rejected with the message: "We found that it is likely to be generated by AI and not labelled as such."However, I am sure I checked the "Created with Generative AI" option while uploading. I also deleted the other 5 images that were pending review because I was worried they might face the same issue.My questions are:1. Can I re-upload these images again after making sure they are properly labelled?2. Do I need to add "AI generated" in the title or keywords in addition to checking the box?3. Could this rejection be due to a technical error, or did I miss something in the process?Thank you.

Hi everyone,I’ve been having issues uploading AI (Adobe Illustrator) files lately — just to be clear, I mean Illustrator files, not AI-generated content. I used to upload them without trouble, and I even had some assets accepted and sold in this format.Now, whenever I try, I get the following error: '.ai couldn't be uploaded because it is not a valid file type' Has anyone else experienced this change? Did Adobe Stock stop accepting AI files directly, and is EPS now the only valid format?Thanks in advance

 Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review your image.

These are the rejected images by Adobe Stock. Can't figure out whats the issue, so, I thought of coming to the community and asking for your expertise. Any constructive help will be appreciated.

How is the upload limit calculated? I currently have a limit of 500 per week. What day of the week does the limit start counting?

Can I withdraw to the same Skrill account from two separate Adobe Contributor accounts?Please let me know

If I upload different variations of the same image as a series, will it get rejected as similar content?
