Stock Contributors

Hello Adobe Stock Contributor Support and Community, My name is Illia Freiberchuk (Adobe ID: [REMOVED BY MODERATOR]. My contributor account was deactivated on July 11, 2025, with the reason given as “ongoing violation of our Terms.” However, I was not provided with specific information about which Terms were violated, and I did not receive any prior warning or explanation that would allow me to correct or avoid the alleged issue. I respect Adobe’s policies and I want to understand precisely: Which clause(s) of the Contributor Terms or the Adobe Terms of Use were considered violated in my case? Which asset(s), if any, triggered the enforcement action? Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards,Illia [PERSONAL INFORMATION REMOVED BY MODERATOR]  

Hello,I have already uploaded my work to Adobe Stock as an EPS file. I made sure to reduce the size so that it’s under 25MB.My question is Will reducing the file size below 25MB affect the quality for clientsOr is it fine since it’s saved as an EPS file?I just want to confirm that buyers will still get the full quality when they download it.Thank you!

I am facing an issue with one of my images. In the last batch that got reviewed, there were only 10 images, and I labeled all ten as AI generated. Not only that, I double-checked to make sure everything was correct before submitting. I am damn sure that I did not miss the AI generated label. This is absolutely impossible because I always confirm this before submitting each image. So the chance of this mistake is zero. I strongly believe I can challenge this.Now I want to know from experienced contributors:Can the Adobe review team make such a mistake by tagging it incorrectly?How much can this affect my account?What should I do now?Please advise.

Rejected due to similarity. I can't find similar illustrations in Adobe's database. The reviewer's thoughts on similarity are interesting. It's probably not worth wasting any more time and uploading anything to the judo category, because all possible judo scenes are covered. Note: illustration titles and keywords are specific to these illustrations and the ones I uploaded earlier

Bonjour,J'ai déjà eu plein de rejets de ce genre et je ne conteste pas.Mais là, c'est trop fort. La semaine dernière je propose un calendrier scolaire 2026-2027. C'est le premier 2026-2027 que je propose. Et il est refusé pour motif de fichiers similaires.C'est une IA qui refuse les fichiers ? J'ai du mal à croire qu'un humain pourrait dire qu'un calendrier 2026-2027, c'est la même chose qu'un calendrier 2025-2026 ? Ok, ça ressemble beaucoup, mais si vous notez vos rendez-vous sur le mauvais calendrier, vous raterez tous vos rendez-vous à coup sûr.J'ai envoyé un message à Adobe, mais je reçois une réponse bateau. Même là, pas certain que ce soit un humain qui ait répondu.Je vais renvoyer les fichiers, mais si ce n'est pas un humain qui valide, je risque fort de retomber sur le même problème.

Hola comunidad Estoy comenzando en Adobe Stock y me gustaría saber lo básico para empezar a generar ingresos con mis fotografías, ilustraciones o diseños. ¿Qué consejos iniciales recomiendan? (por ejemplo: qué tipo de contenido tiene más demanda, buenas prácticas de etiquetas/palabras clave, frecuencia de subida, etc.). ¡Gracias desde ya por la ayuda!    [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Hi everyone 

Hi. Many people have asked about similar content, but I will ask again. I uploaded a collection of alphabets in my style and color. Some were accepted, some were rejected. Most likely because the titles are similar. But how can they be different if I describe the style and color in the title and the only difference will be in the letter? The designer who wants to get these letters can't find the full alphabet. If you collect all the numbers in the set, they will be smaller in size and worse in quality. Experienced stockers, please tell me what to do?Thanks in advance.

Bonjour C'est la premiere fois que je publie sur ce forum.j'aurais besoisns d'aide sur des photos non accepter.Par exemple sur ce fichier je ne comprends pas.Est-ce que quelqu'un pourais me dire pourquoi il n'est pas accepter. merci de votre aide 

J'ai posté en fin d'année dernière 19 photos qui sont restées 3 mois sans être analysées. Pensant qu'il s'agissait d'erreurs de ma part dans l'indexation, je les ai supprimées et, après avoir tout bien vérifié, je les ai proposées à nouveau, persuadé qu'il ne manque rien dans mon indexation : descriptif, mots clés etc... A ce jour, elles sont toujours en attente et ce, depuis plus de 7 mois !!!En espérant avoir une réponse à mon problème, merci d'avance.

Instread of withdrawing my total earning, can I withdrwa small amout and how many times can i do that within a month period?

I’ve noticed that the Adobe Stock marketplace is getting more competitive every day, especially with similar content issues. While I always create designs based on my own unique concepts, it sometimes feels like the system flags them as “similar” because the market is already so crowded with comparable themes.I put a lot of effort into making sure my templates are original, but when the market is heated with so many uploads, even different ideas can appear close. I think this is a big challenge for many contributors who are trying to stand out with their own style.It would be helpful if Adobe could consider ways to better recognize originality in design concepts, even when they fall under popular categories. That way, contributors who genuinely create unique content won’t get discouraged by similarity rejections.What do you all think—have you experienced the same situation?

A few months ago, my Adobe account was blacklisted due to an accidental operation, and now this issue has caused my Fotolia image-selling account to be unable to log in. Please help me log in.

Dear Adobe Stock Contributor Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. Recently, I received an email from Adobe Stock informing me that I have been granted a contributor bonus. However, I noticed that the bonus has not yet been added to my account. Could you kindly look into this issue and let me know when I can expect the bonus to appear? My contributor account details are as follows: Name: SANTI BANU Contributor ID / Email:＊＊＊＊＊＊＊  

Hello Adobe Community,   I cannot access my Adobe Stock contributor account.   The website asks me to add a phone number to protect my account,   but when I try to add my phone number, the system does not work   and I cannot complete verification.   My account email [SENSITIVE INFO REMOVED BY MODERATOR] My country: Uzbekistan     Please, could a moderator or Adobe staff member help me verify my account   or manually add my phone number?   I need to access my contributor account to continue my work.     Thank you in advance for your help!  

Hello Adobe Team and Community, My Adobe Stock contributor account (linked to email: [SENSITIVE INFORMATION REMOVED BY MODERATOR] has been deactivated. I received a deactivation notice due to issues with Generative AI content, but I have not received a clear explanation of the specific reason. I already sent my appeal email on 09 July 2025 and a follow-up on 016-july-2025, and I also submitted the “Contact Us” form, but unfortunately, I still have not received any response. I have carefully reviewed the Generative AI submission guidelines and I now fully understand the requirements (avoiding repetitive content, accurate titles/tags, proper releases, and correct AI labeling). I am committed to following these rules strictly if I get another chance. Could someone from Adobe Contributor Relations please check the status of my appeal and provide me with an update? Thank you for your time and support. Best regards, [PERSONAL DETAILS REMOVED BY MODERATOR]

J'ai déjà écrit dans ce forum des contributeurs pour parler de mes problèmes de révision de certaines de mes photos et je reviens une fois de plus sur le sujet car j'ai contacté à plusieurs reprises Adobe mais je reçois systématiquement des réponses automatiques en m'indiquant qu'en ce moment et, compte tenu du nombre d'envois, les durées de révision peuvent être rallongées. Or, me concernant, j'ai des photos qui sont en attente depuis 8 mois actuellement mais cela fait près de 2 ans maintenant car je les ai envoyées en novembre 2023 puis supprimées et renvoyées à 3 reprises. Le problème est qu'à ces photos et au fil de mes envois, certaines nouvelles se sont rajoutées et j'en suis maintenant à 120 photos qui stagnent et certainement pour longtemps. Pourtant, j'ai envoyées environ 500 photos très récemment qui ont été traitées pour 90% d'entre elles en 24 ou 48 heures !!!!Peut être qu'un humain chez Adobe lira ce post et pourra enfin régler mon problème.

この写真を28MBで審査に出したのですが、品質の問題により却下されました。他にもドアップの動物の写真を載せていて、それらも却下されました。こちらは25MBです。ピントはまつげと、瞳に合っています。ドアップはいけないという理由なのでしょうか。それとも画像の明るさやほかの理由でしょうか。みなさまのアドバイスをお受けしたいです。

I’m new to selling photos and want to gain my first experience. After many hurdles, I finally registered a firm and created a contributor account with Adobe Stock (as a trial). With my first upload I immediately saw the warning: no recognizable people and no private property…But every photo taken from the street can contain such elements… Is Adobe stricter than the usual panorama freedom rule in Europe (guaranteed by law) , or are they simply referring to those same regulations? Actually, every country may have its own rules. Should I take this Adobe warning literally, or can I upload everything that local laws allow?What about landscape photos with villages in valleys? Those are also private property… I really want to understand the restrictions to do not break them... Thanks!

Hallo zusammen, ich möchte editorial content einreichen. Beispiel: eine riesiger Häuserblock in China, der den Mega-Baustil dort recht gut wiedergibt. Vermutlich ist das Bild nicht durch die Panoramafreiheit gedeckt, weil es nicht von öffentlichem Grund aus gemacht wurde. Daher ist mir klar, dass ich es nicht als reguläres Stockbild einreichen kann. Nun sehe ich hierfür mit den entsprechenden Einschränkungen noch eine Bereitstellung als editorial. So weit, so gut. Jetzt kommt es: bei der Einreichung fragt ein Text der beiden Checkboxen, ob alle notwendigen Rechte zur Einreichung vorliegen. Ist durch das Anwählen der Editorial-Box diese Klausel nun zu interpretieren als "alle notwendige Reche im Editorial-Rahmen"? Alles andere würde m.E. keinen Sinn machen. Das Anhaken der "Rechte-Ok-Box" und der Editorial-Box würden sich ja andernfalls ausschließen ... oder? Denn wenn ich für alle enthaltenen Elemente Freigaben hätte, würde ich ja die Editorial-Klausel nicht benötigen. Oder muss hier g

I wanted to update and edit the keywords on many photo I have.  However you guys make us edit or add one buy one on the edit keyword window instead of letting us enter or paste a large amount of of keywords at once.  This makes the job very long and difficult.

Hello All,as I'm starting to upload my interior design images to Adobe, I would like to ask you to understand quality issues reason - here is one of the rejected photo due to that reason. Could you try to help me understand why?

I created this design by myself in Photoshop, but it was rejected due to a missing generative AI flag. What can I do for this to solve this problem? 

So, recently, for the last 200 or so images (transparent png, jpg, illustrations), i started to get a lot of Similar content in our collection.Any insight on what is triggering this, i'm starting to think this is some kind of automatic process. And the content that i sumbit is not a collection or one type. Could they be giving the wrong rejection reson?
